Do not give these to your dog !!

[chachi]

A Rep from greenies even came to this site before and stated the new version is digestable. I would never give them or trust them.

Thank you for sharing Murphy's story. I am so sorry your pup had to suffer. Hope Murphy feels better soon and we will all heed the warning.

I have read about these on YT before. I know they are controversial. Glad your pup is ok now!

Ditto. I do not trust them at all. They bought out Pill Pockets and I will no longer use them either.

When I had just CAli and Maya they loved their greenies, they would get them on the weekends and I would get an extra hour of sleep lol. When they came out with all the problems I stopped and my girls were so upset for awhile. Good reminder as it has been awhile since the initial problem surfaced. I am so glad your baby is ok.

My vet gave my dogs a Greenie in their Christmas bag but my two don't like them so it's still unopened. He must not be aware of this but I will
tell him when I go this week. I hope Murphy is doing better.

I am sorry your just finding this out. Why these awful things are still on
the market it amazing. Yes, they are so dangerous. Dog's have died from
greenies getting logded in this throats or intestines causing blockage.
Please don't believe what's written on the packaging of any product sold
for dogs or cat's. Manufacturer's will state anything to sell their products.
Same goes for Nylabones. They are so dangerous. I hope your
little one will be ok.
When things settle down please write them a letter and tell them what
happened. They say the new ones are safer but I would never trust them,
ever.

I can't believe either that they are still on the market. Not sure about the "new and improved" ones but I do know that Greenies were like crack for Tatum years ago. Started hearing about all the dangers and stopped giving them to her. It took quite a while for her to not stand under the kitchen drawer where she knew they used to be. She would actually sit there and cry. We replaced that after-bath treat with bully sticks and she's loving them!

I hope Murphy is getting better I will pray no more dogs feel this

[4doggiemama]

Used to allow my doggies to have them, too. Joined YT and read about their dangers so I quite buying them. As stated earlier, my vet sells them. Think I will mention it to her or suggest she go on-line and see for herself. Hope Murphy is feeling better soon. ~Joanne~

[Mom to Hot Rod]

I am glad that your little one is going to be okay. I had heard about these before getting our yorkies and told all my friends who had dogs not to give them because of the harm that they caused.

awww I hope Murphy gets to feeling better very soon. <3

[Rachael1983]

As a rule if thumb, I don't by treats that look fake. That includes nylabones and greenies. I've done this with all my pets. I even throw away real bones when I feel they've become dangerous for Troys consumption.


I'm sorry about Murphy. Hopefully he'll get better soon.

[bellagirlsmomma]

UH OH!!! we just gave Bella one last night!!!! might not again because it made her facial hair crusty and hard (like when we put gel in our hair) and her paws too... i suppose she was just working it over...

SO what do you all suggest for them to chew on??

They are shaped like a toothbrush,are green and stink. They are also very dangerous and should not be given. They are causing partial and complete bowel obstructions in dogs. There apparently is a large lawsuit happening in the U.S. due to a dog's death from obstruction caused by one of these.
Murphy is ill and in pain. The vet has told me she tells everyone not to buy them. Word has it that they have now made them softer,for easier digestion but I will never again buy any of their products. We are now hoping he will digest it. Please!!! Do not use these and spread the word. I have posted this in the general forum in hopes more people will see it.

Sorry about your baby. But, dang it, Jackson likes greenies. So much for that, guess Greenie no more! Thanks for posting that!
