BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | New Greenies? How many of you use the new greenies? I was skeptical to try them but I broke down and bought a bag yesterday. Baby did not care for them but Lillie about went crazy. Is it ok to give them to her? She has only had 1 so far. |

| I've read too many posts here about the dangers of them that I'm just too afraid to give them to Gabby and Gage.

| Why anyone would want to feed anything to their precious fur kid from a company who puts out a product that has actually killed dogs, is beyond me. If they need something for teeth and breath, then give them a femur or knuckle bone, if they need a snack to eat, give them dried fruit and home made treats. |

| Nope, I'm sure their product is safer now, but I don't wanna risk it.

| I have some for Gracie. The first one she went nuts over. Since then she could care less. However, she also does not enjoy bully sticks like she used to. It might be that she is getting old enough that constant chewing is no longer her thing?

| I say...NO... I don't still think there are problems with these. They may have changed a few things, but they lied before and didnt' take them off the market when they knew there were problems. I personally will never buy a Greenie product no matter how safe they say they are. I think the company sucks. I lost my dear Chloe at 10 months to these things. Please Missy, don't give them to your babies. |

| No, I won't buy them either. There is also a product called White Bites for the same purpose which I have bought and is good for my dog but since then, I'd rather stick to natural chews like bullystick, tartarbone etc..

| Won't give them to Mia either. Infact, I'm so bad that when I see people at Petsmart starting to buy them - I tell them... becareful with those - you know dogs have died from them!

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | NO-WAY!!!!! NEVER! WHY risk it when there are other great products out there! P.S.- Have you tried the Nylabones?? My little ones LOVE them! And they now have them in a new Beef flavor (which they love even more than the original green ones!)

| there is so many other good things for them to chew. I heard a lot about the 'bad greenies'... why take chances? (I voted 'no')

| My dogs use to LOVE greenies but when I found out that dogs were dying because of them, I immediately stopped buying them. These enw greenies may be better but the risk is too great. There are SO many other yummy treats and snacks that are SAFE and HEALTHY for our babies. It's just not worth the risk.

| I learned the hard way. Never believe what the manufacturers say I would never give any kind of greenies, rawhide or nylabones to Buddy again. I don't care what they are made of. |
