I buy the 8-9 inch rawhide bones for my golden retriever because these last a long time. They keep her happy and are also good for her teeth. When they get down to about 4 inches I throw them away so she doesn't try to swallow them.

Pros: Last longer than some

Cons: none

I used to give these to my dogs until one ended up in emergency surgery. Had to cut her open to get the bits out. So, I don't let them have anymore of these. I am sure most of the time it is fine, but not taking any chances.

Pros: The dogs love them

Cons: they can block up their stomach

My dog loves it, however, she is not very nice when she has one. She will growl and snap at other dogs if they come close to her when she has one!

Pros: LOVE

Cons: she's stingy with it

I limit the time my dog chews on rawhide bones because they upset his stomach if he eats too much. He does become obsessed with them.

Pros: long time entertainment

Cons: messy

My lab likes chewing on this but I will only give it to him if I am home. I have heard too many stories of dogs choking on rawhides.

Pros: good for chewing

Cons: choke risk if not supervised
