| I stopped greenies when my yorkies had bloody stools. I threw them all out. My friends who also breed yorkies threw out theirs too.

| We also tossed the Greenies after a terrifying trip to the ER Vet one night! Toto was addicted to them and had to have one after dinner every single day. She started choking & went limp! I grabbed Toto, Patrick grabbed keys to the nearest vehicle ... I didn't know a Jeep Wrangler could go that fast! Fortunately, she was breathing when we got there and was OK. I gladly chunked a box of 100, individually wrapped Greenies in the dumpster! The really sad thing was what she went through quitting those things cold turkey. It was almost as if she were in pain and she would cry so pitifully. Nothing we offered her would make her stop and we went through this for a week or two! I don't care if the Greenie people change their formula a bzillion times, I will never buy another product from them!

| The lady I bought Ben from included a Greenie in his Puppy Pack. I think I will send her an email about this. Thanks for the alert!

| I'm so sorry that Chloe had to go through that- but of course you had no way of knowing something like that could ever happen. Thank you for sharing your story and giving everyone a warning. |

Their Web site, greenies.com, says the same thing. I'll wait to see if there are any complaints.
