Rawhides and greenies were big no-no's on the list I took for my vet to look over years ago.

I think this is what caused Mojo to have to be on IV fluides for 7 days because a piece of it didn't digest and was blocking his intestines. Thankfully, he didn't have to have surgery, but this ordeal made him have a very sensitive tummy!

Someone told me that if you cut a greenie into a small bite size piece....the size that most dogs can bite off....put it in water and it will expand to double, triple it size......we did this and it DID! That was years ago, but we have never felt safe w/ using them again!

I've never heard about the Nylabones.....the vet we used years ago, when Mojo was a puppy, seemed to think they were okay. --the edible ones.
