Some requiring surgery. Plus they are sold as being good for your dogs teeth, but in reality they aren't. They leave a plaque forming film on the dogs teeth. Add to that, that many of these products are treated with some pretty nasty chemicals. Toss the rawhides, go with bully sticks, stuffed kongs, or even some raw meaty bones for chewies. My two LOVE chicken feet to chew on. Good for the teeth, fully digestible, and contain glucosomine.<br><b>References : </b><br> Rawhides aren’t digestible and are responsible for a number of intestinal blockages every year.

Just monitor your dog while he chews them. Make sure he isn't ingesting large pieces of it at a time. Also monitor for anything like constipation, vomiting and any other digestion issues. My dog is a 1.5 yr old lab and she gets raw hide pretty regularly, and has had no such problems. If you are really concerned, just buy the real bones, not rawhide.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think it depends on the dog, like most things, anything can pose a potential risk.
