Hi Kyle,

My guys love them both, and thank God, we have never had a problem.

My yorkies are very big (16 and 20 lbs!), and I give them petite size Nutri-dentand teenie size greenies.

They are not gulpers, and love to lay down and chew.

The Nutri-dent has helped with their coats.

I really believe it is up to the dog and owner regarding the safety issues. The most important point to stress is to give the smallest size, but if you have a very small dog, then I would be hesitant. How much does yours weigh?

I found a great "non-edible" chew, Nylabone Super Tuff, and it is shaped just like the nutrident. It's at dog.com, just type in the word "tuff".
