Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Rawhide shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Rawhide offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Rawhide at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Rawhide? Wrong! If the Rawhide is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Rawhide then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Rawhide? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Rawhide and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Rawhide wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Rawhide then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Rawhide site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Rawhide, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Rawhide, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Rawhide is a hide or animal skin that has not been exposed to tanning and thus is much lighter in color than treated animal hides (leather).

The skin from American Bison, deer, elk or cattle from which most rawhide originates is devoid of all fur, meat and fat. The resulting material is often only semi-pliable and permeable to light.

Uses As such, it is considered suitable for use in objects ranging from drumheads to lampshades, and is often used to make chew toys for dogs. Rawhide is also used to cover saddle trees, which make up the form or foundation of a western saddle, while wet: it strengthens the wooden tree by drawing up very tight as it dries.

Wet rawhide has been used by some earlier cultures as a means of torture, gradually biting into flesh it's bound around, or execution of enemies. A strip of wet rawhide would be stretched tightly around the forehead of a bound victim and when exposed to sunlight the material would shrink; as the material dried and if left unattended, the victim's skull slowly cracks as a result of the pressure.

References in pop culture In the movie Man of the House (1995 film), as the hitmen try to figure out a way to kill Jack Sturgess (Chevy Chase) and Ben Archer (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), Ben says: "If you really wanted to kill us, you'd wrap us in wet rawhide and leave us in the sun and all of our organs would ooze out of our orifices like a tube of toothpaste."
