Default Greenies- Interesting & Important Article

Hi Everyone! I am new on this forum. I just got my baby, Mr. Eko (pronounced echo) 2 and a half weeks ago. He is a cute little rascal! I have found so much useful advice and encouragement from this forum! THANKS!
One of the things i read is that some people give their dogs greenies as an alternative to brushing their teeth. I didn't know what Greenies are so I did a google search and I found this article:
http://www.newsday.com/news/columnis...ews-columnists

Hopefully you can go to the website and read the article, it says that some vets think that Greenies are harmful to dogs, especially small dogs, because they are not easily digestible and can cause problems in their stomach and intestines.
I don't think I want to take that risk with Mr Eko- I'd rather give regular tooth brushing a try.
Just a heads up for everyone.
