Some products such as Greenies said "99% digestible except for a piece the size of a grain of rice", and these still caused intestinal blockage in some dogs. Since Yorkies' intestines are narrower than bigger dogs, any intestinal blockage would be a concern.

Symptoms of intestinal blockage include reduced or no pooping, loss of appetite, and vomiting, this is a very serious condition.

I'm a little confused. Wouldn't they only get intestinal blockage if they swallowed pieces of the stick?
