Formaldehyde is used to strip the hide of its hair and stuff that’s why they only say chemicals are used. If you take a piece of rawhide and put it in a glass or bowl of water it swells and is hard to break apart and that seems very dangerous for that to be in a stomach. I can pretty much guarantee you that what Walmart and most stores minus maybe pet stores is not height quality or made in the US. There are so many other safe options in my opinion. My girls are also extreme chewers so according to that article it wouldn’t be a great thing for them.
