I give my babies various different things to chew on and I do let them have rawhides as well, but what I do is get the larger ones like for a lab....This way they can chew on them forever and don't digest the rawhide. But to much rawhide can cause constipation. I can tell you that the little ones do manage to carry them around to their favorite spots, and this has worked well for me for years. Not to mention this bigger rawhide last a very very long time....
