| I think it might be best not to give your pup Greenies... Just to be safe. I give Tate Greenies but he is a 20 pound dog with a bigger Jaw. Maybe just wait till he is older. There has been some controversy concerning the safety of greenies. Also what size Greenie are you giving him? They come in different sizes. Tate gets the Tiny size.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I wouldn't give them at all. Personally i do not like them, even with the "new" formula. They "used" to be hard to digest so much so that surgery needed to be performed to removed pieces of the greenie from the intestines because they were causing blockages.

| I also heard Greenies are bad for them. After that I stopped giving her greenies. Maybe you can get bully sticks or some yorkie yummies =D

| I was told not to give greenies that they are bad. Try bully sticks, my tiny pup and 5 year old yorkies love them and they are easy for them to digest. |

| When I gave Maddie Greenies, she vommitted undigested pieces of them back up. After doing some research about them, I found this was a common problem. or as previously mentioned undigested pieces would be become lodged in thier digestive trac. Just be careful when giving them. |
