It says on their website, that greenies are "highly digestible", not 100% digestible.

While most of the time, this is not a problem...as most non-digestible things pass out of the rectum. The particular dog in question may have had some blockage issues, which when compiled w/ the Greenie created a large issue.
This has been discussed repeatedly. The article referenced in the beginning of this thread was an investigative news story, not just something "they read on the internet" that should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is from an earlier post and is eye-opening:

Here are a few sites containing info about Greenie risks.. The first link I'll tell you before hand is extremely graphic and not for those with weak stomachs. It contains actual photos of a dogs intestines crammed full of greenies while it is going through surgery.
