and request a free treat for those of us who havent tried greenies.
have a great day everyone

Ive heard alot
 

Of bad things about Yorkies and Greenies they dont digest them, i only give my baby organic treats.

Dont give your dog greenies. They are undigestable and dogs have died from eating them. We have a member on here Denise whose dog died after eating a greenie. Flossies and bully sticks are good for dogs to chew on because they are digestable

Oh my, even the new greenies???? I thought they had made them so that they now disolve...........haven't tried to do that but if they disolve I would think they would digest easier. I know there was a problem with the old greenies.........just curious which you are talking about. I don't want to lose either of my babies!!!!:eek:

No Greenies Please.... !!! !!
Dont Take That Chance.....please!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
Free Or Not

Oh Yeah You Know What Before I Got My Baby It Seem That I Heard That When I Got My Siberian Husky He Came With A Treat Of Greenies And They Said Some Dogs Arent Able To Eat Them, Oh Wow Thanks You Guys Im Glad I Posted If Not I Would Have Given It To Him, Thanks

I am talking about the old greenies but I dont trust the new ones either and wont buy them

old or new, i dont trust them either.....

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Whattttt????????? Tinkerbell and Chiquito love their greenies...........OMG!!! I buy them the tinies ones....I guess no more greenies for them:eek:

The new ones are supposedly digestable now. I know they are much softer than the others were. I will wait to hear if any more bad stories come out of the new product.

Everyone is right.

Greenies are dangerous

Rawhides are also dangerous

What about the Nutri Dent Dental brushes, edible kind? I got a free sample at Petsmart and Howie loved it, but is it dangerous for him??

Are Bully Sticks considered Rawhides?

Thanks.

Bully Sticks are 100% Bull penises. Draw your own conclusions.

ILLLLLL Gross!

dido!! yuck

PLEASE PLEASE!! Do NOT feed Greenies to your dogs.
I lost my Chihuahua Chili on Dec 1st because a piece of Greenie got lodged in her esophagus. Turns out Chili also had a birth defect in her esophagus creating an expanded area.
After going to the Emergency Clinic they told me the barium they used for the x-rays shows that there wasn't a complete obstruction.
I went to my Vet the following day and he redid the same X-rays. He gave me some medication for me to inject. One being Regulan and one an antibiotic and a muscle relaxer.
The Vet said if she was eating and drinking okay then we shouldn't worry. She got better as soon as I gave her the first shot. She was eating normally again and even running around, so I was no longer worried.
Exactly a week later the Greenie got dislodged from the enlarged area of her esophagus and choked her to death as I was holding her trying to do everything possible for her. She had just been standing there and dropped over on her side. By the time I got to her, mer seconds later her entire upper body had gone limp.

The Vet told me that the new formula of Greenies which I had been using are only 4 % more digestible than the old formula.

I guess Chili lived the last week of her life on borrowed time. She would have died instantly if she didn't have the birth defect.

Thank you for posting that. We have people on here saying the new greenies are safe. There is no way I would buy that product old or new

how can they sell those if it isnt safe for dogs?

Because vets and people at pet stores say it is irresponsible owners who don't monitor their pets that casue the problems, not the product!

Not all bully sticks are penises - some are bull tendons...

Are dingo stix good for them?

I visited the Dingo website and checked the ingredients in their "Dingo Munchy Stix":

Guaranteed Analysis:
Rawhide, real chicken breast, water, flavorings, artificial coloring, dextrose (sugar), sodium chloride (salt), dipped in potassium sorbate (a preservative).

I don't doubt this at all, but how can you monitor a bowel obstruction? These things should be outlawed.

Desert Dogs - that is so sad...I can't imagine going through that with my Monty. We are so sorry for the loss of your Chili.

I just hope our tragedy will prevent others.

I was not feeding Greenies to any of my dogs. I have a friend who's dog had a bowel obstruction from the old formula. Luckily his dog survived but after a very costly surgery.

After I adopted Chili her teeth were really bad so I had them cleaned.
The Vet recommended she have a Greenie a day to keep her teeth clean.
So following the Vet's instruction cost me my baby.

I only had Chili for a little under 3 months. :cry:

rawhides and greenies made cooper throw up

I am so sorry for you loss!:(

Are they called flossies or bully sticks or is that the brand? I have a lot of sample greenines from a pet show and was going to give them to Izzy but he\'s too young and too small for them. I guess I will not give them to him at all...bummer because I have a lot of them.:(
