| Yes, they changed them, my dogs still love them, but, they don't take as long to eat anymore..I know a lot of people won't give them anymore, but, I still give them, and they have really helped my oldest yorkie(almost 5) teeth..I buy the teenie or petite for mine, but, am always right with them when they eat them..The vet I take my dogs too carries them still and he said they are good for them..Guess you have to decide for youself if you want to give them or not.. |

| I know that the formula has changed but I only give to my little ones once every couple of months. I now give me little ones these green mint sticks made by beefeaters. My dogs love them and they are all natural and dissolves as they chew. They have all different types of flavors. |

| I know I gave a few to my yorkie then finally read on it where if they are under a certain weight not recommended. So of course with Zoie only 3.5 I stopped giving them to her. She was under the weight requirements. So when the larger dog gets them I just give his in another room so she can't get it.

My Little Man! Donating Member | Hmm thats my dilemma too. Maxi loves those silly greenies and I have read that they changed greenies so it can dissolve good. I am still very concern about it. I give Maxi once in a while but now there is only few left and I dont know if I will get more. I also use this virbac flat bones that he loves they suppose to be good for teeth, cleaning tar and for good breath. Those bones serve the same purpose as the greenies.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | One word: NO! Mind you, this is JMO...but I would NOT give them to my babies. Not under any circumstances. There is absolutely no sense in risking it when their are, what I believe to be, better, SAFER products out there for our babies. Why take chances?

| i dont trust them so i don't give them to my girls..they've never had greenies. i dont think they miss out much since they love their Merrick flossies or bully sticks and also sweet potato chew sticks. I feel safer and better giving them those than greenies.

| Bad experience w/greenies My little one swallowed the end piece of a (petite-size) greenie. He then tried to cough it up, but started coughing up blood instead. We rushed him to the hospital, where they thought he was having heart failure (he wasn't). They gave him lasix and oxygen and he turned out to be fine. My husband and I have lots more grey hair because of this experience however. (The hospital asked us if we "wanted" them to do an x-ray. It didn't turn up anything, just added another $100 to our bill. Total bill about $250). 'Nuff said about greenies. |

| They are still causing obstructions, so I would not give them. The ingredients are garbage anyway.
