If you didn't know, Mars Inc. purchased greenies just over a year ago. Mars had greenies reformulated to prevent the problems greenies caused in the past. Oh and Mars owns many pet foods including Pedigree, Nutro, Royal Canin, Sheeba, Wiskas. They also own the company that manufactures many of the "store" brand dog foods you find in grocery stories.
We feed our yorkies greenies (have been since the reformulation) and we haven't had a problem. |
Someone here (sorry, I forget who) had her dog almost die on the new formula. Her vet said the new ones are only something like 3% more digestable.
I'm with Archie- they knew dogs were dying and kept selling them. I would never trust them after that.
