 Greenies June 10, 2007
I have a bundle of chihuahuas that love Greenies. I give them one each about three times a week as a mid-day or late night snack. The 102 count of the smallest ones works the best for us. My dogs weigh from 2 pounds to 14 pounds and this snack seems perfect for all of them.
 My cat loves these February 21, 2007
The Teenie size are perfect for cats. I have 8 cats, but only one cat will eat these, and he is hooked on these dog treats.
 CHANGED RECIPE January 10, 2007

Since Greenies has recently changed their formula my dogs think that I have cheated them out of their treat because they consume them so rapidly now. Before, it would take them a while to chew it up and now they inhale it. Sure, they love them but now it would take too many to satisfy their craving...I'm looking for an alternative.
 The new Greenies can pose a risk of intestinal blockage and death!!! January 8, 2007

PLEASE, please do not feed these treats to your dogs/cats. The company has not publicized the risk of blockage and choking, and 13 dogs have died as a result of ingesting Greenies. Try googling "Greenies" and "blockage" or "death." This product is not safe for dogs.
I was sent a free sample of the "reformulated" Greenie in the mail. The package claims the treat is "easier to digest", so I gave the treat to my dog, a 100 pound weimaraner. I watched my dog chew the treat, and he chewed it appropriately, taking his time to chew the pieces into small, digestible chunks.
The next day, my dog refused to eat or drink anything and vomited at least three times. He acted listless and lethargic all day, so that evening we called our vet. We told the vet that the last thing our dog ate was a Greenie. The vet informed us that Greenies are known to cause intestinal blockage in some cases. He suggested that we take him to the emergency vet clinic for advanced treatment.
We took him to the emergency clinic for x-rays and diagnosis. The vet treated him with an anti-vomiting medication and told us to return if he continued to vomit. The cost of this visit was approximately $400.
The next day, we woke up to find our dog covered in bloody soft stool. He has had three bouts of diarreha in two hours, all of it soft and bloody. We called our vet and he told us that the dog was experiencing severe intestinal distress, which was causing the bloody stool. He suggested we give him water and return to the clinic in the early a.m.
Thankfully, our dog passed the Greenie through his body. Had he not passed the Greenie, he would have required exploratory surgery, which my vet estimates will cost approximately $3,000, depending on the nature of the blockage.
The representation that the new, reformulated Greenie is "easier to digest" is patently false. Our dog properly chewed the Greenie, but yet the treat was still insoluble and indigestible. His ingestion of the Greenie caused serious health issues. These things aren't safe -- please don't support this company or put your dog's health at risk.

I really like the new greenies, they are much softer and made better. I use to have to microwave the old ones to make them softer. Greenies made a better product and my dogs love them. I know that the old greenies had some sad stories of dogs that got them stuck and got sick and or died but my dogs are trained to chew extremely well and I was not apprehensive about it. I think the new greenies do not pose the same hazards as the old ones, they were very hard and I could see why a dog could choke or get them stuck ( that's why i microwaved them) but I really think the new ones are fine. very happy with the new greenies. also, please be sure to buy the right size for your dog.
