Rawhide Chews: Most of the time, harmless. We do not recommend rawhide chews, ever.

• The problems come when they swallow them whole. They either choke on them, or the rawhide balls up in the stomach and causes gastritis or blockage. Moderation is the key.
• One every once in the while is OK, but they shouldn't be included as a regular toy or part of the diet. In addition it's usually best to supervise or a least be nearby when your pet is chewing on any toy.
