Rawhide v Beefhide {source: thebark.com/content/dangers-rawhide-dog-chew-toys}
Rawhide is sourced from the animals' "hide", the skin from the neck to the tail, and it may or may not be beef cattle. By contrast, rawhide is a highly-processed product, often treated with bleach and other toxic chemicals. These toxic chemicals may leave a residue in the finished products, which can only be harmful to the dogs that consume them.
"Producing rawhide begins with the splitting of an animal hide, usually from cattle. The top grain is generally tanned and made into leather products, while the inner portion, in its 'raw' state, goes to the dogs. Removing the hair from hides often involved a highly toxic recipe: sodium sulfide liming. A standard practice is to procure rawhide in the 'split lime state' as by by-products from tanneries, facilities that top the list of U.S. Superfund sites. In the post- tannery stage, hides are washed and whitened using a solution of hydrogen peroxide. Other poisonous residues that may show up in rawhide include arsenic and formaldehyde."
Bottom line... Beef hide is a safe alternative to rawhide, is higher quality and greater digestibility.
