I give my dog pig ears and rawhide rolls.
He devours the ears (and when I get real pig ears from a pig roast, oh man, those are his fave).
But he tends to keep the rawhide so he can play with it and bury it in the couch and bed before he decides to eat it (it can be months before he eats it).
We've never experienced a problem.

Sometimes I get worried but it seems dogs (or maybe it's just Smokey) have a serious gag reflex and will choke up anything before they actually choke.
Gross, but amazing.
