This Could Save Your Dogs Life!!! Originally Posted by Desert Dogs read this i found it in another thread and it could save your dogs life!!! My dogs died from the NEW formula greenies. The emergency vet is the one that told me the new formula is only 3% more digestible than the original formula. You can even check this out with Greenies. I am putting this warning out as I don't want anyone to lose their precious babies, as I lost mine. I was holding my precious Chili and she died in my arms choking in front of my children. There was nothing I could do as the Greenie was lodged way down in the esophagus. None of the Dr is my area felt comfortable trying to use a scope on her. I was giving her a shot daily from the Vet to relax her esophagus and waiting for a "specialist" to get back to us. The specialist called the day after she died. This darn thing was lodged in her esophagus for a week. There was enough space for her to drink and eat.... until it dislodged and killed her. So much for dissolving. Are clean teeth worth death? I think not!!! For clean teeth I feed raw bones, much, much safer and does wonders for the teeth. |
Oh MY!! :eek: That sucks. I never gove Daisy any of that anyway. We do bully sticks and nyla bones [which I keep an eye on when it starts breaking apart]. Thanks for sharing! |
What a tragedy. I have read over and over the danger's of greenies. I have never purchased them and never will. Sorry about your precious baby. |
wasnt my baby, im just trying to help get the word out. please tell everyone you know. especially those with small-breed dogs or puppies. thanks. |

Sorry I read it so fast. Yes I did read that in the greenies post. Nylabone's are another dangerous treat for dogs. Bud was hospitilized for 4days chewing them.($2,200) Very dangerous. Read the small print! |
so are a lot of other dog treats..If you read what the people that make the greenies say, it says not to give to dogs under 6 mos. or 5 lbs. They do have lil bites that you can give smaller ones...Dogs can also choke on meat that we give them..Not all dogs should have greenies or some of the other treats that people give them everyday..I know greenies are very controversial, but, myself, I still feel they are better for them than a lot of the other things people are giving their dogs.. |
My German Shepherd had to have surgery due to Greenies. New forumula or not is isn't worth the risk for me, especially when there are so many other options. |
if you read the small print their isnt anything to worry about. |
I purchased greenies for Rockies when he was 2 months old. When I discovered yt and started reading all the negative information on greenies they went into the trash. :thumbdown |
I have a german shepherd too...I give her and the golden retriever some beef roast broken up in pieces once in a great while..the german shepherd started choking on a piece of meat..so, meats, and a lot of other things can be dangerous..it depends a lot on how your dogs eat certain things, if they eat like there is no tomorrow, then NO, greenies probably aren't good for them, nor are a lot of other things, if they know how to sit and chew it normal, than I don't think it's going to hurt them...My inside dogs all lay on the floor and take their time eating them |
wow that's sad! Good thing i don't feed greenies anyway, not the new or the old ones! |
Thank you very much for sharing this! I just tossed a Greenie in the trash. |
thats great. i was just trying to get the word out. im glad its helping you out!!!:D |
Pardon my ignorance, but what is Greenies??? |
:confused: I just don't understand why the stores are still carrying these death dealers! You would think that with all of the reports of pets choking to death on them, they would take them off their shelves. I guess it's the lure of the almighty dollar.:mad: |
That's horrible but a WEEK? |
I never knew the dangers of them until my cocker spaniel almost choked on one. Also, this is kinda gross, but I would notice small chunks of it coming out in her poop now and then, meaning that they don't dissolve even after going through their digestive system. I quit buying them altogether. |
I am so sorry that is so sad! I have never purchased greenies and never will especially since everybody has told such awful horror stories. I am very sorry for your loss I can't imagin how that has impacted you and your families lives. I give bella those big blue Nylabones with the bumps on it. She just chews it or will play fetch with it, but once they start to fall apart I go and get another one at pet shoppe. We have never had an issue with them, but I will be sure to keep a closer eye on her when she chews on it. |

Now, I was in a forum the other day where a vet tech works, she said that they've never had anyone come in with a dog having problems from the "new greenies", but have from nylabones..I love the greenies, I will continue to give them to my dogs..have you done the water test on them? If not, do so..they do dissolve, and they DO help with their teeth and gums..My vet sells the new ones, and I will continue giving them..I have seen them do more good with my dogs teeth than anything else. |
I just did a post on Kalina and the Smokehouse treat she choked on...now I'm worried sick that it is still in there just waiting to dislodge and kill her!! How did that happen?? Did it go into her lung or trachea or what? |

So sorry. Once it came out on the news how dangerous they were, we threw ours out. Now everything we give them is in the smallest pieces to avoid chocking. We even break their hard food up to be on the safe side. It can be a chore, but worth my time if it prevents them from choking. |
