| Here are a few sites containing info about Greenie risks.. The first link I'll tell you before hand is extremely graphic and not for those with weak stomachs. It contains actual photos of a dogs intestines crammed full of greenies while it is going through surgery. http://improvehomelife.com/greenies.html - Beware! VERY graphic http://www.quikonnex.com/channel/item/15576 http://www.all-creatures.org/aip/nl-...1-warning.html

| Wow, now everyone has given me something to think about. Nikko absolutely adores greenies and he will chew away at it until it becomes this small green shapeless blob. I didn't know they were dangerous and I will stop giving them to him so often. He is teething and it was refreshing to see him chewing on something else other than my slippers. And you say they are addictive too? I did notice Nikko acting a bit strange. He growled angrily at my fiancee while he was chewing on one. Apparently he thought my fiancee was going after his Greenie. He never acted like that before, and he chews rawhide all the time. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Eddie loved greenies, but after I found a little turd that was 2/3 green, I cut him off. That can't be good.

| I said I give greenies to Lilly everyday- but she takes almost 1-2 weeks to eat one. She is a nibbler.....so she doesn't gulp them. My last yorkie was a male and he would be protective of his greenie and gulp it before I could even finish handing it to him. I stopped giving them to him. So if your yorkie baby likes to take his/her time and nibble at it, let them enjoy it. That's what they are for! |

From Greenies' website: "Feed the correct size Greenies® for your dog’s weight, as indicated above, one to two times daily as a treat. Greenies® are not intended to be complete and balanced and therefore should not exceed 25% of your dog’s daily diet. A greenish color in the dog’s stool is a normal and harmless result of consuming chlorophyll. As with any treat, always offer water after feeding. If obesity is a concern, reduce food intake. If you have any questions, call 1-866-GREENIES (1-866-473-3643) or email info@greenies.com." http://greenies.com/feedingGuidelines.cfm

| I give my little guy greenies small bites. They are teeny tiny little pieces. He loves them. Plus you can give him a few flakes or more as you see fit. |

Muffin lived for 14 years without them and I want Kacee to live a long life, too. It just isn't worth the risk.
