Rawhide can be dangerous for dogs, particularly toy breeds. Pieces of the rawhide can cause intestinal blockages, inflammation, or tearing of the intestinal walls. Most people here recommend not using it.
The alternative is fully digestible chews like bully sticks or raw bones (they have to be the right kind otherwise they can fracture teeth or they can be a choking hazard). However, bully sticks probably have too much fat for a dog with pancreatitis.
Hopefully someone else can recommend a good chew for dogs with pancreatitis.
