| Greenies! Just curious as to how many of you have given your baby greenies! I gave Raley one day before yesterday I honestly didn't think he'd like it. I was SO wrong! He gobbled it up quickly. The bag says to only give your pet 1 per day and that is what I'm doing. I'm just happy that he likes them.

| Kaji loves them! I stopped buying them for him a long time ago when money got tight. If you ask him where the greenies are, he'll still walk over to the shelf where they use to be. It's been months! I am very careful to make sure he is chewing them properly. They once got stuck at the roof of his mouth. I hold them sometimes and he bites pieces off that he chews up.

| I have given them to Maddie before but they made her sick. She would throw up chunks of them hours after eating them. I later read that others had bad experiences with this product and intestinal blockage. However, the problem was supposedly solved by the manufacturer. I just never went back to them. |

| I gave them to my girl many years ago, caused *sorry* explosive diarrhea. I don't trust their safety and don't give them anymore.

| There is a lot of controversy regarding greenies, something I didn't know when we bought them. Crosley became really ill after having one. She kept throwing up green, it was horrible and what a mess!

| I don't give them anymore...partly due to the controversy, but mostly because the last time she had one she threw up and had loose stools.

| Wow! Raley and our rat terrier, Savannah, love them. So far we've had no problems. They both eat 1 each evening. I feed them the size that is for dogs weighing 5-15 pounds. As much as they enjoy them I hope we don't have any of the issues that you all have encountered!

| Never have given the pups greenies as they have been linked to GI issues. Pieces have been lodged within the intestine causing serious problems. Just feel like the risk is not worth it. |

| I also stopped with Greenies after all the controversy. We had a guest speaker on dental care at one of our recent small dog meetups, and she recommended microwaving them for 5 seconds before giving them to your dog. I'm still very uncomfortable with them and won't give them to my girls, but I never had any issues with stomach upset.

| I found an older thread on her, a few dogs got sick and one person said it killed their dog. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...reenies-2.html

| Heard too many bad things about them, but Jackson doesn't like them anyways so I've never had to worry about it.
