| I gave Maddie Greenies about a year ago. She ALWAYS threw up a few hours after. I gave her 2-4. It was the last puke that I saw a huge chunk of Greenie I am not sure if this was before the formula changed or not. I was always agraid to feed them after that. |

| I believe it was longer than a year ago. I am sure if you google it you might find it. There were so many complaints...I am sure some of the stuff is dated.

| Diamond pet food bought the greenies products and changed the formula. I do know for a fact they are still using the corn gluten from China and you should avoid any products from these companies! If you want your yorkie to have clean teeth give him a flossie, I think there is someone on this site that sells them pretty cheap!

| I think I better not get this one. Sugar hates whenever I try to clean her teeth, that's why I was thinking to buy her Greenies. It seems that I have limited choices so..Sugar, please bear with the toothbrush! |

| I give Syd a Greenie every night. She likes them. Her vet highly recommended one a day. As someone else said, there is a Lite Greenie, too. I have those on order and plan to switch between the regular teenie Greenies and the Lite ones. drugstore.com currently has them on sale along with buy one get one half off. If you're a new customer to the website, you can get an additional $10 off your order of $50 or more. Standard shipping is free if your order is over $25. |

| NEVER!!!! My friend's Westie had to have a $2000 surgery after a Greenie got stuck in his intestine!!!! I don't feed most mainstream items you can find everywhere. They are just too dangerous and have crappy ingredients in them. Almost all the treats and chews at PetSmart/Petco are full of by-products, corn, wheat, & soy. Please don't think I am being stuck up or rude, I am just overly cautious and am obsessed with Snick's diet and treats. I am too paranoid. Holiday Hugs- Snick & Viv

| I give them to Scruffs as a treat sometimes, they do not actually help with cleaning teeth. I heard bully sticks were good. I'm trying to find a good place to get them, since I think $5+ seems outrageous for one treat! Maybe that's what they cost..

| I give my fur butts greenies when I run out of bully sticks. I have never had issues with greenies...but they do make Ninja's poo green sometimes.
