Greenies

It's intesting. Now here we are, long after I had several problems w/ Riley choking on Greenies, not digesting greenies, almost needing surgery because of greenies, throwing up for days because of greenies, it's all over the national and local news now that they're dangerous.

Here's one link:

I wonder why it took so long.

Just "in the last few months", 13 dogs have choked to death on Greenies.

They say you have to chose the right size, but any size is too dangerous for my dogs. They don't break down. When Riley threw up a chunk, while at the same time having another chunk lodged in his digestive system (seen on x-ray), the vet pressed his fingernail on the chunk that Riley threw up and said "this should have broken down!" but it was hard as a rock.

For a while AFTER the near-surgery episode, I thought the solution was only giving huge greenies, and HOLDING it in my hand as Riley chewed, to ensure that he did not swallow any large chunks. The ones for "small dogs" or "tiny" (?) he just breaks into chunks and swallows the chunks without chewing them, which is even worse. But now I won't risk it, not ANY size Greenie. Even when I am careful to make sure he doesn't swallow any "chunks", he still throws bits up during the night, vomits up green stomach phlegm, pants, and acts sick.

They make Nicky similarly sick as well. I have been saying NO to Greenies for a long time now because of how dangerous they are. I hope that people take these news reports seriously. This is one story that is NOT being over-sensationalized.
