I would not be feeding that much rawhide to any dog. Rawhide is not easy digested, and can cause blockages.

Try raw bones. They last long and are much healthier.

You can also buy sterile bones, and fill them for your dog. I use peanut butter, cheese, kibble, canned food, fruit, or yogurt. Stuff full and freeze. Kong is also great for this!

More exercise will help wear him out too, which will slow down some of his chewing

I'd say that is a lot to give. I only give raw hides and pig ears maybe ones a week.

I agree that is too many. It can cause obstructed poos and constipation. You can get chews without artificial colouring. Personally I am always worried about dogs choking on them.

I use Booda Bimples for my dog to chew on. The vet just raves about the condition of her teeth, everytime she seems him...
