"veterinarians say they don't break down."
Must be some pretty bad stuff.
5 million law suit for Burt's death?....He musta been a very rare breed. LOL

I'm glad to have read this. I have two lab mixes, and I am amazed at what goes down those gullets. The ones that scare me is when they steal aluminum pans out of the garbage, chew them into weird shapes, and swallow the pieces.
They would probably swallow these treats whole.
Welp, I do believe it's a good thing that I thought Greenies were highly overpriced...I have dogs that would certainly wolf them down....
Sounds like they need to go back to the drawing board...or they're going to need to have 90% of their employees in the legal department.
I've given greenies to my dog for years without problems.
BACON BACON BACON! My dogs only eat 'Greens' when they're already constipated.

We feed our dogs BARF. Bones and raw food. They have sparkling clean teeth, no bad breath, their poop is small and breaks down quickly, they have no interest in chewing anything except bones.
My black lab/aussie shep loves greenies--one of her favorite treats. But we are careful to give her the right size for her weight. I wonder if that has anything to do with the problems?
I have two labs who loved Greenies but since they told me about this at my vet's office last week, I've stopped giving them to them. Probably wouldn't bother my chocolate lab. I swear he'd eat nails and not even burp. He has, more than once, pulled the Greenie bag off the counter and consumed an entire bag of them. But my yellow lab is older and her teeth are wearing away. I'd noticed lately that she was having trouble chewing them completely, (the petite size) so this was timely information.
A coupla things.
One, my wife feeds the "petite" size to our Llasa Apso (about 18 pounds), but only after cutting them into quarters. A full treat, even at that small size, is just too much.
Secondly, after reading posts complaining about the price, a little investigation reveals that the package my wife purchases contains 6 treats (six!) for which we pay about five bucks.
Greenies recommends owners check that the treats are chewed…
It has been my experience that most dogs will chew just enough to make it small enough to swallow – then GULP.
"Greenies recommends owners check that the treats are chewed..."
How do we do that? My mother taught me to never put my hands near a dog's mouth, especially while it is eating.
Five million for a dog?
I bet they heard about this and thought "Get rid of the dog and score a lawsuit at the same time".
You want nice breath on your dog... buy them a denta-bone and brush their teeth... man, what some folks will fall for... oooo a breath treat for my dog....
Just brush their damned teeth if its so damned bad.
These treats are harder for a dog to digest than a bone? I find that hard to believe.
And $5 million for a dog?
Gimmeabreak!
