Greenies! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My yorkie is 4.5 lbs and has been getting one greenie every night for years. The packaging does say not to give greenies to dogs under 6lbs?? but she loves them. I also do not brush her teeth, her teeth only get brushed once a month when she goes to the groomers - but due to the greenies - she has great teeth. Most yorkies by this age need to be put to sleep to have their teeth cleaned, which always scares me because they are so tiny - but the greenies - till now - have put that off.

I stopped giving my dog Greenies. My vet had a personal experience where she had to save her own Shih Tzu's life from choking on a piece that had broken off and got lodged in her throat.
