Tonight I bought her some Dingo Mini Chip Twists. A man at the store talked me into them and said his little Chihuahua loves them. Well, she almost had another choking episode and this really stresses me out.
She did well with Greenies years ago, but then I heard they were not safe.
A friend sent me a site where it says they have changed the ingredients, and are safe now. Is anyone using Greenies now without a problem?
And, what about Nylabones? Safe?
Thanks everyone, and if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

Thanks everyone for all of the replies.
Sadie used to eat bully sticks, and in fact, I have a freezer full right now.
The problem she has is that after eating one of these, she smells awful, and I quickly give her a bath. Have they been improved, or do you must deal with the odor?
Thanks to the person replying about rawhide. I was wondering about the possiblity of these messing with her intestines. Scary!
I do give her small kibble type treats, but I feel I need something more to deal with the tartar so she does not have to go to the dental every year.
Thanks for everyones' feedback. I love this group.
