I'm not saying this to pick on you or your statement, and I'm also not saying that rawhides are the worst thing available or comparable to smoking cigarettes (which I'll use in an example). I'm just saying that the mentality of "my dog ate this for his whole life and lived to be 15 so that means it's safe" is just a little outdated. I've known humans who've lived to be 100 even though they smoke cigarettes for 80 years. Doesn't make it healthy or safe just because it's possible.
