Rawhide


Explanation:
Rawhide can refer to the skin of any animal, such as goats, antelope, sheep, etc. Whereas Cowhide refers specifically to the skin of a cow.

Explanation:
Rawhide is dehydrated animal skin that has not been exposed to tanning. The difference between beef hide and rawhide is that rawhide does not have to be made from cattle skin. Rawhide can also be made from the skin of horses, buffalo, or other animals.
However, cowhide is very tough and isn't really digestible. The rawhide that is used for dog treats is the left over hide that is cleaned, cut or ground and is pressed in dog treats with artificial flavoring. It's a cheap treat but has little nutrition.

Reference: cowhide versus rawhide

Reference information:
Rawhide is dehydrated animal skin that has not been exposed to tanning. The difference between beef hide and rawhide is that rawhide does not have to be made from cattle skin. Rawhide can also be made from the skin of horses, buffalo, or other animals.

Like beef hide, rawhide for dogs is made from the inner layer of skin. These natural, long-lasting chews offer satisfyingly delicious entertainment and keep dogs busy.

So...is beef hide the same as rawhide? Sort of! Beef hide is rawhide—but rawhide is not always beef hide.
