Product Description
100% Edible: New Greenies dental chews are 100% edible which means that there isn't anything in it that your dog can't eat and enjoy. Extremely Soluble: New Greenies dental chews are easy to digest and highly soluble (that means that they break down easily in the digestion process). We talked to a lot of nutritionists and scientists and discovered that the key to solubility lies in the proteins used to make the product. We use 4 very high-quality, easily digested proteins as the building blocks of the new chewy recipe: Gelatin Wheat protein isolate Soy protein isolate Sodium caseinate Greenies Petite Size are great for Dogs that are 15-25 lbs/7-11 kg.

 deadly June 17, 2008
1.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous and Deadly, May 25, 2006
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.
 Our dog loved them, but potentially dangerous May 31, 2008

I bought these for our Boston and he devoured them and always wanted more. Because of that I can see the huge appeal greenies have, however I found out about the potential hazard these can have and because of that I do NOT recommend them, and obviously we don't buy them anymore. To find out more, just do a search for greenies and choking and you'll find the reports about it.
Made my dog's stool completely green May 12, 2008

I gave my dog a few of these and she did fine on it and seem to really enjoy it. The very last time I gave it to her it turned her stool green for two days straight. It obviously didn't digest in her stomach at all. I threw out the rest of the box. They are also insanely expensive for gelatin and soy.
 Greenies Dog Treats February 15, 2008
My dog loves them-when we get them out to give her one if we leave the box on the cabinet and don't get one out immediately she sits there looking at it and crys. They also seem to help her breath.She weighs about 21 lbs and the petites are a perfect fit for her.
my dog can't get enough of this January 18, 2008
I give a greenie to my dog every night, before bedtime and she never gets bored with it. She loves to chew on them and they stay fresh in their box to the last one.
