Why We do Not Recommend RawHide
Not only can rawhide dog chews break teeth, but they're hard to digest and may cause blockages in the digestive tract. If large pieces are swallowed, they can become lodged in the esophagus or further down the digestive tract, requiring emergency abdominal surgery to remove them.
