Is giving my dog rawhide chews daily or every other day too much?

Question

Hello, I give my 16 month old lax mix long rawhide chews as posted in the picture. About 1 every other day. My question is...is that too often? These are about 8" long and about 1 -1 1/2" thick. She can knaw one down in about 1- 1-/2 hrs. Please advise. Thank you! Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 5 months old

Yes, I do think that's too often in my personal opinion. I don't like rawhides as they can often cause obstruction in the GI tract, but as long as Maya chews it throughly before swallowing it, she should be ok. I would recommend only give her one a week :-)
