| how fast does your yorkie eat a greenie? my yorkie is only 7 months old and he consumes a greenie in 2 minutes when it used to take him 15...i'm afraid he's swallowing them whole or something like that....any opinions on this? is it normal? |

| I would be very concerned. There have been cases of intestinal blockage due to greenies. They are not completely digestible and if your little one is swallowing chunks he could have a problem. Lots of dogs eat them and have no problem but I wouldn't risk it.

| Greenies are very dangerous expecially if the don't chew them up. IMO it's just not worth the risk. |

My furkids Donating Member | BAD! BAD! BAD! greenies are NOT good for ANY dog! although they love them and do keep their teeth nice they can be very dangerous for them...I have read stories where the dog has died...I would suggest you use something else....I just bought bully pretzels(they also come in sticks) they are totally digestible.

| OMG.....PLEASE, PLEASE DONT FEED GREENIES. I lost my 10 month old Lhasa Apso to greenies last year. They do not digest right like it says....it got wedged in her intestines and caused a blockaged and ripped them and she bleed internally too. I beg you to stop giving them to your baby please!!!! |

| I'd seen many post on here about Greenies not being good for your babies lately. Went to the store this week, and in the discounted, clearance section, low and behold a huge batch of greenies! I thought "not for my babies, even if they were free". Sure learned a LOT from this website I didn't know before! |

| I know there is a lot of anti-greenie people...(and for good reasons) so i apologize in advance. my doggies love greenies.....my older pup has been eating them for about 3-4 yrs. I started feeding them to him before all the horror stories came out. And it saved his teeth...w/o greenies he would prolly be toothless. Johnny refused to eat anything hard..even regular dog food. (once he starved himself for days, so i stopped playing the you eat the hard food or else game with him) When i rescued him, he had horrible horrible teeth...they wanted him to have the plaque removal procedure....vet said some teeth prolly would have to be removed too. and then we found greenies. A yr later his teeth were like new....the vet was amazed. BUT they eat them supervised...i watch them the whole time. PLUS it is very very important that you feed them the correct size. I think it depends on the kid of dog you have too. If they are gulpers i wouldnt recommend it. Since they changed the formula i havent heard any negative stories, thank goodness.
