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:

Quote
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

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog." Edward Hoagland
"Thorns may hurt you, men desert you, sunlight turn to fog; but you're never friendless ever, if you have a dog."
