| I gave my 1lb 12oz puppy a greenie and she loved it. Not sure if it was ok but she is fine. I give them to my bigger dog and he really likes them. |

| Bully sticks are soooo expensive. How long does it take your dogs to chew through one? Maybe I post that as a seperate question |

| There has been a lot of controversy with Greenies and I know the formula has changed. We stopped using them and use only braided bully sticks and tendons now.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I've paid like $2.00 for one. I think Greenies are more money than that, Plus it saves you on the vet bills later on because the greenie is stuck in there intestines. |

| i give Romeo Greenies. I called them b/c I was concerned about safety. They are now more digestible than kibble. I think they help keep his teeth clean.

| I use Greenies and we've had no problems... the vet says his teeth look good and won't need to have their first cleaning for quite a while still.

| Greenies Pepper loved Greenies, they did freshen her breath and help her teeth, but they also did cause Gastroenteritis. Once we stopped using them her stomach issues cleared up. Be careful if you use them. |

| Greenies are great! I used to give them to my dachshunds, but they would either throw them up, or have bad diarrhea, so we stopped giving them, and they havent had one for probably 6 years...now, Fiona, she LOVES LOVES LOVES THEM!!!!! they are perfectly fine to give, just make sure you don't get the greenie pieces, those are dangerous---greenies were recalled a couple years ago, but they re-designed them, and they are fine! I just wouldnt give them to your babies if your not around!

| PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.....NO GREENIES!!!! I lost a 10 month old Lhasa Apso to greenies. She had always eaten them since she was a puppy, but one day she became very sick and took her to the vet and she was bleeding internal. The greenies has swelled and bursted her intestines. She was beyond surgery and has to be put to sleep to keep her out of pain. It was soooo terrible. Please I know they may seem fine, but don't risk it. I know first hand the damage those things can do. They don't always digest right. They should never be on the market. Not worth the risk I feel its my place to spread the word so no one else loosing there babies to these things. |

| OMG you can get Brite Bites? Where? I have been trying for 6mos to locate them. My pet store does not carry them anymore and I went to the source and have been on a waiting list since last April! They are so backed up they stated but after nearly 7mos I just assumed they went out of business. Please pm me and let me know where you buy them. PLEASE. Buddy get's nothing like greenies or bully sticks. Only natural bones. |
