Customer Rating:      Summary: Greenies are GREAT Comment: It is wonderful knowing my two little dogs' favorite treat is only a click away.. and considerably easier than driving all over looking for them.
This size is great for gift giving. My daughter and sister both have very deserving little ones too.
Customer Rating:      Summary: My dog loves these!!!!! Much easier to chew than old formula!!! Comment: My dog really loves these and she is old, so it really helps with keeping her teeth clean. The original formula did cause a some dogs to have bowel obstructions and die in a very unpleasant way, but this is a new formula, easier to chew, but still helps keep the teeth clean. They are not cheap, but my old girl absolutely lives for these things.

I have two beagles who love to chew, and greenies are highly compressed which woule make it a good optionfor my dogs. However because they are so highly compressed they are deadly. There is an overwhelming amount of research that proves they are not digestible, and do not break down. Numerous dogs have died from chocking and internal blockages. Luckily this was brought to my attention before I purchased any.
It really doesn't matter how much your dogs like them, statistically you dog would have an excellent chance of becoming seriously injured or worse.
If keeping your dog busy is the goal try a kong or a "busy ball". My dogs play with their kong and similar toys for hours or until they are too tired to play anymore. Additionally some busy balls let you record a message that is played when the ball is moved, even slightly, which also helps with separation anxiety.
If you want to treat your dog to something in the way of food, almost anything you can think of is safer than a greenie.
Also please note....there are many greenie knockoffs. If the treat is shaped and molded or looks like plastic, has fine details showing the company name or other designs, it is in fact a molded treat. Anything this highly compressed is absolutely deadly.
While even rawhide carries some of the same risks because it is so durable...it is a MUCH safer alternative to greenies.
I am actually surprised amazon even sells this product, and would go as far as suggesting to amazon users to petition them to stop selling it.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Greenies are GRReat Comment: These "new" Greenies are terrific - my dogs love them & I don't have to worry about them getting "sick". This "new" formulation makes them softer & completely digestible.
