You really shouldn't be giving your dog rawhides, because the production of them is just nasty.
I mean it's REALLY nasty with all the chemicals. But if you do, pay attention:
A pet food manufacturer has voluntarily recalled five types of rawhide dog chews for possible chemical contamination
The suspected contaminant is an ammonium compound used as a “processing aid” in chews produced in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil
Ingesting an ammonium compound can cause diarrhea and vomiting in dogs, and may require veterinary intervention
Even high-quality rawhides can present a choking and intestinal obstruction hazard
A better alternative to rawhides for many dogs are recreational raw bones
