I don't give either dogs Rawhide, Smudge had some problems with it the first year or so that I had him and Winter has a sensitive throat to begin with so I don't chance it. Instead they get the occasional pigs ear, hoof, or natural cow bone that some of the stores around here sell (good thing Alberta is beef country) which they both love, but they don't get them very often 'cause they try to throw them around and stuff like that and my mom thinks they'll dent the floor.
