Are Greenies and other hard chewable treats ok for my Yorkie?

* Any food item or treat given to your Yorkie has the ability to not be properly digested or cause internal injury. There have been some concern with YorkieTalk members over concern and negative experiences upon giving “Greenies” to their Yorkies. Lodging, intestine disruption/blockage, and diarrhea have been symptoms some Yorkies have experienced. However, many other member’s Yorkies having the “Greenies” have not had any ill effects.

* With all food/treat items supervise your Yorkie closely. Monitor him/her to see if any treat given has caused any problems and make sure they are properly chewing the food, and not just “gulping” it down.
