Thank you for the inquiry about original Greenies(r) dental chews.
Digestibility testing with original Greenies(r) shows them to be about
85% digestible when chewed normally by dogs. This level of
digestibility is very similar to premium dry dog foods which usually run
from 82-89% digestible.

So they may be 95% digestable now but they were as digestable as kibble before.

Then they say you shouldn't give them to dogs less than 6 months or less than 5 pounds because they don't have adequate chewing ability.
Yeah, sure. Adult Yorkies can't chew correctly then.

I also read on one site that a surgeon from Georgia said they still do see obstructions from them occasionally.

I just don't trust them at all but no chew is 100% safe.
It's not just you. I never would buy them and I never will. There is too much risk for me. I like to at least have an idea what I'm using and that isn't the case with this company.
