I use to give Belle rawhide but noticed she was getting pieces off of it, was scared she'd choke. My hubby bought her a pressed rawhide bone that we stuck one end in her Kong and she loved it until I found that they come apart very easily and she was getting pieces that I had to take away from her. Now I get the bully sticks at our local pet/farm supply store and they don't smell. Belle loves them and carries them around but chews mostly at night before we go to bed. When they get too short, her helpful brother (85 pound lab) finishes them up for her. I also gave her a braided one but no more, she was getting it apart as it got smaller and the pieces were small enough to choke her. She loves that bully sticks (some people call them pizzle sticks) as she needs something to chew on since she has eaten most all of her toys!
