does anyone give their yorkie greenies?

[elle57]

are greenies good for yorkies? i was told they are good and bad, now i am so confused.
does anyone give their yorkie frosty paws frozen dessert?

I gave mine the Denta Treat (same as Greenies) they were obsessed with them. But it made them sick, then I just kept reading bad things about them and that they are not natural and they are not 100% digestable. That did it for me. Never again did I waste $ on them.

Now, I buy the big bag of Chicken Jerky from Costco.
The brand is Waggin Trail.

Best wishes!

I used to give bella greenies, she loved them, but became very sick. Havent given for a few years now.
I have seen that they changed them now though and was wondering if they are any better and if anybody uses these?

I would never give mine any........whether they claim they are improved or not.......I am just a paranoid freak

Back in the day, when my toy poodle was younger.......she used to love them. People used to shower her with greenies and I didnt know any better. It wasn't until she had a bowel obstruction due to one

She had undigested particles in there and I learned my lesson. Then, they came out with an improved version but I still refuse to use them. Dogs have actually died due to them

Personally, it's not worth the risk.

I give mine bully sticks and they are a hit around here!

Whenever I need to keep them busy........I give them each one and they are entertained for hours

We used to give Toto greenies but she choked one night and had to go to the ER ..... scared us to death!! After that, and after reading all the great info, Toto never got another one .... I tossed about 100 into the dumpster! Our vet recommended C.E.T. for her teeth ... she chews them pretty good and we also use the Petzlife on her teeth.

I don't know if BJ's has them or not.
Walmart has them - Waggin Trail - Chicken Jerky

I also give mine Merrick's brand - Flossies (bully sticks but they are long and curled)

Best of luck!

I tried several brands but I can't stand the stinky ones or the one's that stain.

The only one I buy is from beyondspoiled.com they dont stink or stain

I am sure this is dense, but can you tell me what c.e.t. is? I did a search and nothing came back.

Oh .... I forgot about the Chicken Jerky .... Toto loves those!! I like them for her because they don't contain all the mysterious "additives" that lots of treats have. We get a large bag of them at Sam's Club.
