Rawhide is actually extremely undigestible and actually poses more of a danger risk of getting lodged in the throat or intestines. I don't give my dogs anything but bully sticks and raw bones to chew on. I don't think there is enough benefit in those other types of chews for my dogs to outwiegh the risks involved, not when there are just better options. ANY chew or treat can pose a risk and they should always be watched, but none of those things, except the bully sticks and bones, are worth bothering with for me.
