Otis is not a chewer, but he absolutely LOVES the pig twists. Only if his brother Oliver gets them started first. He is never unsupervised when he has them and if he looks to be getting close to chewing a piece off I cut the piece off with scissors. He will hang on for dear life when I take it away. He also has liver issue's so I know they are bad for him. I'm on the search for something he will chew on that isn't bad for him. I know he needs to chew so hopefully I'll find something soon. Sorry boys, no more pig twists.

well last night i had to test it myself i took a whole teenie greenie and put it in a cup of water and coke (for the acid) around 10pm, and got up and checked it around 8am this morning, and it was exactly like jello, when i picked it up it broke apart very easily like jello, and also felt like jello.

btw i did the test with the new easily digested greenies

Whats they difference between the greenies and nylabones? I've read that the nylabones had the same effect. We stopped giving our puppy the nylabone after I read up about it.
