| its true about the greenies Even though I watched the report on grennies and their dangers, I had 3 left from my last purchase. I gave one to my Doberman like I had been doing for 12 years now. I went out today to scoop poop, and sure enough I found a whole end the size of a teaspoon in his poop. That was the same size that killed the boxer on that report. Thank god he passed it. Ive thrown the rest out for fear of giving them away may result in another dogs death. Now I look at it more seriously, because ive seen it for myself. Patty and Nina |

| Are rawhides better then the greenies. I heard that they cannot digest rawhides. So what do we give them to teeth on?

NO!!! My vet said no to rawhides. You can give them nylabones and dehydrated meats are good to chew on.

| Greenies = EVIL! There has been 7 reports of greenies killing dogs and even cats around my area. its horrible. and you can try an experiment ureselves as well break off a piece of one and up it in warm water and it will either stay the same and not desolve or will even EXPAND!( i showed my friend this with her westie and chihuahua and she was in total shock!)they are very dangerous for any breed of dog! Spread the word ladies and gentlemen!!! its true! We have to keep our babies SAFE!! from all dangerous treats...do your research before you give any of your babies ANYTHING! JMO and WARNING! and they is "warning" on the package of all greenies as well..and if they dont there should be!!!
