I have asked my vets about Greenies and the dangers associated with them and they still say that Greenies are safe.....but, I am not taking that chance.

I remember someone posted awhile back about Greenies and said that if you cut a small piece off (about the size of one of the greenies bits or what your pet might normally chew off) and soak it in water, it expands. We did this and our piece didn't just double in size it quadrupled in size. And it was a rubbery stretchy consistency....YUCK!
Wow thanks for posting your little science experiment. I didn't know that! And when I was done reading it, I actually said, "Ewww" outloud!!
