| Greenies? Hello, me again with another question. I tried ot post this before but it didn't work, so if it appears twice sorry! Just ignore it lol. Anyways, I was wondering what Greenies are? I keep hearing about them but I don't know what they are, or what they do? Can Yorkies have them? |

| My vet said they were o.k. She also reccomended the Nyla bone (they come in flavors). Nikki loves her Greenie, but doesn't go as crazy for the Nyla bone. I take it away from her when it gets small.

| Greenies are wonderful. They help with bad breath and to clean their teeth. they are like a a regular bone but green and they are like rawhide bones but they can eat them faster, so they don't last as long. Charlie loves his greenies he won't stop chewing until they are all gone. Hope this helps!

| Lexi loves greenies, and for awhile to much. She use to be really aggressive if you touched them. I broke her of that real quick(with the help of the wonderful members here on YT). I would let her have a green while she was on my lap and once in awhile I would say "give it to mommy" and take it. I would then praise her for being good and give it back. Anyway, here is a picture

| Neither of my dogs like greenies. I might buy some and try them again but the last time they just left them.

| My pup loves them but I don't leave her alone with them and I take it away if it is getting too small. Sometimes I use them to get her to sit in my lap. I hold on to one end and she lays in my lap and chews on the other end. It's a nice way to get to hold a busy puppy. |

| Bridget Loves them, I mean LOVES them. Actully it was funny becasue I know someone here refered to greenies as puppy crack, and that is true, they act like they are crack. Bridget goes crazy if she even sees the bag...LOL, I also take mine away when they get small, and never let her have them while she is alone.

| Mine go nuts for them. I rarely give them Greenies because it makes Tuffy agressive and they tend to upset Pixie's stomach. Only on very rare occasions do they ever get them.. usually when I need them to be distracted. I prefer the non-edible type things for their teeth and because it won't upset their tummies.
