| Question bot greenies??????? I just bought Luigi his 1st greenies. Are you supposed to give him the whole thing??? It seems like an aweful lot. I tried to break it but it seems kind of hard to break in half!! And are they easy to choke on? I just gave him one. He seems to love it. He hasn't moved from his spot, even when I went into the other room. He usually follows me but not now with that greenie!!!! Any suggestions on these things???????? |

| Depends how big your Yorkie is, but a full Greenie (even small sized) is a lot for a Yorkie, at least in my opinion. |

| Luigi is almost 4 lbs. I was able to break off a smaller piece to give him. This is the 1st one. Hopefully he doesn't get an upset tummy. |

LOLL Waya does the same thing. He weighs a little over 4 lbs and gets a whole one - so does Chuhga. Waya eats what he wants off of it and then hides the rest. Hubby went outside yesterday to feed the sheep and, of course, put his cap on. When he got back in the house, he noticed something poking his scalp. THought it was a bug. Turned out to be a Dingo rawhide Waya had hid. | |

| i just bought some greenies 'lil bits'...they are for dogs under 10lbs and puppies under 6 months age. they are just what they say...little bitty bits of greenies...pedro loves them...they say something that you can give them a teaspoon for every 3 lbs...something like that, it says it on the bag. hope this helps! |

| I used to give Bouncer the Petite sizes, but our store now also sells the Extra Tiny (it's a new size) and so I give him those now. Either way, I give him a whole one of either. It's not bad for them at all to have a whole one, no matter what their size. We have people who give their 2 lb. dogs a whole as do people give their 7 lb. dogs a whole one and so on.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Both of our girls love their greenies...Magic will hide hers untils she is ready to have it and then will find it and spend forever playing with it...Sailor is just now understanding the greatest of them, but if Magic has one, she has to as well...she wants to just like her sister...lol...
