There is a lot of misinformation on this thread as well as some great information. The original Greenies were not 100% digestible and could cause an intestinal blockage. Many dogs had problems and some died. The company revamped its product because the name was still popular, used the name, but the new product is 100% digestible. I think I would have chosen a different name. Some people won't use the new product because they don't trust the company. Raw hides are not 100% digestible either, and could cause the same problems in the intestines as the original greenies. Bully Sticks and other chews that are 100% digestible and won't cause intestinal blockage. All chew sticks should be supervised, a piece could get lodged in throat or mouth, but always look for the ones that say they are 100% digestible in order to eliminate the intestinal blockage problems. Even the ones that say they are digestible except for pieces the size of a grain of rice are dangerous, and many products say this including the original Greenies.
