Yes, rawhides are really bad for them. they are very hard to digest. Try bully braids or sticks they are all natural and my baby loves them. I give him the 12 inch one and he has been chewing on it for a few weeks. I take it away around meal time so he will eat, but he will chew on it and go to something else. There are actually alot of sites on line who sell them.
