THanks that was really informative Nancy. From what I got is that the size of the treat matters and that if you have a gulper or a small dog they have "greenie's lil bitz" sizes that are basically greenies broken into smaller bits for dogs under 5 lbs. I think I will feed him but in smaller sizes and once he reaches an older age. They say that wheat gleuten is the main ingredient and that 85% of greenies is digestible (which is comparable to dry food)
