| I give them to both of my babies. I watch them very carefully when I have them though to make sure they don't bite off too big of pieces. For smaller babies though, like puppies, I recommend the Greenie Bits. My babies love them and there is no risk of them getting stuck in their digestive tract. They will have green poop the day after, but that's no biggie

| i give them to Ahia and Buckeye but i have to cut them up and give them in pieces. Ahia is one of those gulping kind of yorkies. I am afraid she will get a chunk and choke. Buckeye would be ok to give the whole thing. I have bought the bits but in my train of thought it was too small to chew and the whole idea is to chew and clean the teeth. so that is the reason i went to cutting pieces off the size that i want. they love them. i even give the neighbors dogs one occasionally as a special gift treat. ( I think they love me )

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | We no longer give Greenies as they would upset Magic's stomach at times, and even worse they tended to make her aggressive towards them, she wouldn't let anyone around while she had one, so we had to stop those, but there are other kinds that you can give instead!!! But it is all up to you and your dog and your comfort level with both!!!

| When Chloe and Lacey were in the puppy stage (chewing everything in sight),I gave them Greenies. As they matured, Greenies aren't in such demand, but I did watch them closely and never gave them one if I was going somewhere I could not watch them. Lacey can get one down to a little piece in record time. I never allowed small pieces to be kept because of choking hazards. Now it's kind of cute, Chloe takes her and buries it somewhere in the house, under a pillow, in the corner and Lacey chews hers, then finds Chloe's and chews hers as well. I think they are also good for the dog's teeth. They are expensive, though and it turns their poopy green. |

| Good Question. I can not answer that. The only thing I do know, is that Maggie and my bigger dogs love them. I buy the tiny ones for Maggie and the Jumbo size for the bigger dogs. Even Maggie's vet, sells them in the clinic--so they can't be all that bad. Their breath stays so fresh nice smelling.

| All of my dogs love them!!!! I watch my pup when he is chewing on it and take it away and give it to one of the others when it gets down to a small piece. You'd think I was giving out steak when I give them out--they go wild!!!! |
