A representative from the Greenie Company came on YT, and said the product had been reformulated. When asked if they were now 100% digestible, there was no response. I would not recommend a product that was not 100% digestible. Certain products say they are 99% digestible, and a small piece the "size of a grain of rice" may not be digestible. Well, if you have enough of those pieces, it could cause an intestinal obstruction. Greenies wouldn't bother me in a bigger breed dog, but for a yorkie whose intestines are very tiny in diameter, this would bother me. If you choose to feed Greenies be aware of the symptoms that of an intestinal obstruction, these are constipation with vomiting. See a vet fast as this could mean an obstruction and gangrene can set in rapidly. It can be very difficult to prove what caused the obstruction. I prefer to use chewing sticks that are 100% digestable, such as Bully Sticks. |
