Neither of my two like rawhides, and I've never been a huge fan of them anyway, they seem to me like "processed food". I buy soup bones at the grocery store in the meat section and boil them for ten minutes, then store them in the fridge. They eat the marrow out of the middle and chew the beat hell out of 'em, they love them and I have never had a problem safety wise. I've been giving them those for about five years. They're also relatively cheap: The butcher where I buy them packages them in three's and it cost about $2.50 depending on the size (weight) of them.
