I have been feeding our dogs Greenie bones since they first came out and we have NEVER had a problem. I have German Shepards, Dobermans and medium sized hound dogs. They all love their GB's and I find that because our Dobie tends to be a "garbage belly" (meaning she'll eat anything!), so sometimes she doesn't smell as nice as she should, really benefits from the "green" in Greenie Bones. I would like to know where "E. Antic" gets his/her information from.....as I can find nothing that says they are "deadly", except for those people that haven't done responsible research (not just hearsay from some list). If your dogs are gulpers or greedy chewers, then I wouldn't feed them ANYTHING, especially RAWHIDE, that could be gulped and swallowed in large pieces or whole. Do we need to bring up "NYLABONES"????? Always be a responsible dog owner and supervise your dogs when giving any kind of treats. Please don't be afraid of Greenie Bones because of E. Antic's post. You can buy Greenie's in singles, so try one before you commit to a whole box. I have friends that have dogs that don't really like them and that's okay. My girls live for their morning GB's and I now give them Greenie "Smart Biscuits" for an afternoon snack. They love the taste and we love them for the 'benefits'!!

I respectfully request that Amazon and Amazon members make up their own minds, and not fall to the 'fear mongers' and ignorance amoung us. Always supervise your dogs when giving treats - after all, they are the animals and we are supposed to be the 'smart' ones.....don't be afraid, do your homework, it always pays!

My dogs, the 1st day I tried these, didn't really seem to like them. Now they practically climb up me to get to them. My older dog was having trouble with tarter and bad breathe. After 2 weeks of using the treats, her teeth looked a lot better and the nasty odor was gone. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the expense, which for me is times 2.

First some history:
Our dog can't chew rawhide bones. She has a habit of breaking off pieces & swallowing them whole. We have had problems with blockages & constipation as a result -- everytime she has received a rawhide.

We have a 13 yr old Beagle which was introduced to Greenies about 2 yrs ago. We were given a couple of the Large ones from a friend to try. Through carelessness on our part, our dog destroyed both large treats within 15 minutes. When we found her, we were scared figuring she would die from swallowing this large plasticky looking treat. We quickly did some web searches & found out that the newer formula is supposed to dissolve rather easily with water. After making sure she drank a good amount of water, we monitored her activity. In the end, she had no problems & we were able to find a treat that is more chewable than your biscuit type treats, but safer than rawhide (at least for her). We have tried many different treats & toys, but have NEVER had the type of response that we get from giving her a Greenie. It seriously is like crack for dogs...

My Pug puppies absolutely love these bones. The only negative aspect is that they get sticky & leave a green film that dries to a green crust on their front legs & paws (& whatever they're laying on, usually the sofa!) Long after the bone has been chewed to a little nub & swallowed, my beautiful girls are licking their paws & staring at me, begging for another with their big, sad eyes. Even though my puppies are only 12 lbs & just under 8 months old, I give them the regular size. The smaller ones just don't last long enough with my power chewers. I usually try to wrestle the small end from my girls before they get swallowed, as I do with EVERY treat they get, but I'm rarely successful. They have the habit of swallowing pieces that seem far too large for them, but I've never had a problem with these bones. I've never had any pieces reappear later (in any form) or had any blockage or choking problems. I'm fully convinced that the bones dissolve quickly & safely in their tummies.
A lot of people have negative things to say about these treats, even our vet has a note about these specific bones causing "digestive upset" on his website, but I have had nothing but wonderful experiences (since purchasing washable slipcovers for our furniture!)
If you're worried about trying these treats, I'd suggest giving a larger size than is called for & observing your fur-child like any good parent should.

Common sense for all pet owners: Take the end of any treat away before it can be swallowed. If you haven't already, ask your vet to teach you the doggie heimlich maneuver & doggie CPR, just in case.

We have tried other chew products for our dog and these are by far her favorite. They don't get messy like other chew treats and her breath smells so much better, even better than the dental milkbones out there. She really does prefer these over any other dog treat.

My 60 lb Ridgeback-mix is just crazy about these. By about 10:30p he starts anticipating getting his nighttime treat and he won't leave me alone until I give him his Greenie. I had a Sheltie-mix who didn't care for Greenies but this guy loves 'em. The vet says they're good for him and we've never experienced any problems digestively speaking so if your four pawed friend is a Greenie fan, too, this is certainly a great price. Shipping was reasonable, as well ... particularly when ordering several boxes ... and quick.

Any edible bone can cause a dog to choke, but Greenies changed their formula about a year ago to make it more digestible. I love the product.

My dogs love these. They start drooling everytime they get these. Not really sure if they do anything for their teeth/breath. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars just because these are alittle pricey considering they are gone in like 30 seconds.

Nothing wrong with this product as far as the dogs are concerned. They always want more than just one a day but we try to limit them to that amount for their own good and our pocket book.

My dogs love these, and everything I've read suggests that they're good for the dogs, especially for the dogs' teeth. One of my dogs sometimes won't eat her regular food, or will eat it slowly, but she will always eat her Greenies right away.
