"Opened the box and helped her eat one (with big treats we have to hold them in our hand and let her eat a little at a time otherwise she will eat the whole thing without even chewing)."
"Believe me, LuLu would love to be able to live on Greenies if she could (which she almost does as this point, but I still try and starve her out to eat real dog food every other day)."
"So, while we believe that Greenie products are seemingly safe for most dogs under most conditions, our dog does appear to have had bad reactions to a single batch of TEENIE Greenies, but not to the earlier Petite Greenies."
"When I first started giving them to Baxter I was careful to watch how he ate them (chewed them pretty thoroughly) and how he reacted afterwards (often got a drink, but not usually)."
"The only problem we have is I swear she is addicted to them like they're puppy crack, if she doesn't get her Greenie she will start shaking, and if you ask her "What" she runs back and forth between the counter with the dog treat jar and the living room as if to lure us towards them, until she gets her fix for the day..."
"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!"
"I give him the "petite" size - although the "regular" size is recommended for his weight so as long as your dog doesn't inhale what they eat and the weight is on the cusp between two sizes I think its safe to go with the lower size as otherwise I was having to break them in half in order to not break my bank :) NEVER had an issue with cocking and hes been getting these for about a year now."

"Opened the box and helped her eat one (with big treats we have to hold them in our hand and let her eat a little at a time otherwise she will eat the whole thing without even chewing)... We headed back to the emergency vet (this we 4am Monday morning) and told them about the greenie and our fear that it is stuck somewhere and possibly causing the problems... I know that I should probably leave a perfect review because in a way Greenies saved her life, but they are a very hard treat easily broken into pieces by a large dog."
"I have undoubtedly tried most of the treats on the market because my LuLu, a Yorkshire Terrier, in her senior years, is a very particular eater (salmon=no, steamed chicken=no, prime rib=no) and well, she comes from a good home that would spare no expense to see her happy. Believe me, LuLu would love to be able to live on Greenies if she could (which she almost does as this point, but I still try and starve her out to eat real dog food every other day)... Yorkies are known for having bad teeth, I was informed when LuLu was a puppy that I should be prepared to have her teeth cleaned at least 3-4 times in her lifetime."
"After racking up a $471 vet bill for fluid infusion, blood tests (all negative with a report of otherwise good health), prescription wet food, an anti-nausea drug, anti-acid pills,and an antibiotic and even a probiotic powder, the dog recovered in about six days ..... However, while the dog routinely ate Petite Greenies for months with seemingly no ill effects, on two successive occasions this particular package of TEENIE Greenies has seemingly caused digestive distress and illness (certainly so in the latter episode) in this dog... So, while we believe that Greenie products are seemingly safe for most dogs under most conditions, our dog does appear to have had bad reactions to a single batch of TEENIE Greenies, but not to the earlier Petite Greenies."
"I realize that there is some controversy regarding these treats, that some are concerned with the way they may not be processed by a dog's digestive system. When I first started giving them to Baxter I was careful to watch how he ate them (chewed them pretty thoroughly) and how he reacted afterwards (often got a drink, but not usually)... When he knows he's going to get one he's as excited as can be, runs over to his pad and sits patiently while I bring it over to him."
"I have been buying these for about 8yrs at brick and mortar stores then finally thought to search for them on Amazon and they are much less expensive here. The only problem we have is I swear she is addicted to them like they're puppy crack, if she doesn't get her Greenie she will start shaking, and if you ask her "What" she runs back and forth between the counter with the dog treat jar and the living room as if to lure us towards them, until she gets her fix for the day..... They are a bit pricey but I still buy them because she's worth it, plus I'd rather buy them than waist money on other treats that she doesn't enjoy as much."
"They have the habit of swallowing pieces that seem far too large for them, but I've never had a problem with these bones... 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."
"Every morning he gets one for doing his tricks before I go to work (360's on his hind legs and while jumping in the air) I have yet to come across a treat he like more... I give him the "petite" size - although the "regular" size is recommended for his weight so as long as your dog doesn't inhale what they eat and the weight is on the cusp between two sizes I think its safe to go with the lower size as otherwise I was having to break them in half in order to not break my bank :) NEVER had an issue with cocking and hes been getting these for about a year now... They are a chocking hazard and I would NEVER one anyone's dog to be chocking on these from trying to eat them too fast!!!"

"Opened the box and helped her eat one (with big treats we have to hold them in our hand and let her eat a little at a time otherwise she will eat the whole thing without even chewing). Even with our efforts, she managed to break off about a 2" piece and quickly swallowed it before we could get it away... We headed to the emergency vet right away and was told she probably ate something bad, sent us home with a bunch of meds and hydration stuff and said to wait it out... We headed back to the emergency vet (this we 4am Monday morning) and told them about the greenie and our fear that it is stuck somewhere and possibly causing the problems... They still thought it was some type of food related illness and we were over analyzing, and didn't appear to concerned but said they would keep her there as the specialist would be in at 8am and could do an ultrasound... While it has absolutely broken our hearts to find out she has/had that dreaded c-word, the specialist thinks they caught everything in time and she should have a great outcome... I know that I should probably leave a perfect review because in a way Greenies saved her life, but they are a very hard treat easily broken into pieces by a large dog."
"I got a few as a free trial with some other pet related purchase (I think when they first came out with the product)... I have undoubtedly tried most of the treats on the market because my LuLu, a Yorkshire Terrier, in her senior years, is a very particular eater (salmon=no, steamed chicken=no, prime rib=no) and well, she comes from a good home that would spare no expense to see her happy. Believe me, LuLu would love to be able to live on Greenies if she could (which she almost does as this point, but I still try and starve her out to eat real dog food every other day)... Believe me, if I don't have one ready (and I usually keep one under my pillow) she won't let me go back to sleep until I get one out... Yorkies are known for having bad teeth, I was informed when LuLu was a puppy that I should be prepared to have her teeth cleaned at least 3-4 times in her lifetime. LuLu is 11 and a half now, has never had to have her teeth cleaned, has a all her teeth and they are white and perfectly beautiful!... I order them from Amazon because all the shops I have been to charge much more (plus it saves me having to go to the store)."
"We ordered the TEENIE Greenies for the holidays and began feeding the dog one per day a few days after the Christmas holiday... After racking up a $471 vet bill for fluid infusion, blood tests (all negative with a report of otherwise good health), prescription wet food, an anti-nausea drug, anti-acid pills,and an antibiotic and even a probiotic powder, the dog recovered in about six days ..... However, while the dog routinely ate Petite Greenies for months with seemingly no ill effects, on two successive occasions this particular package of TEENIE Greenies has seemingly caused digestive distress and illness (certainly so in the latter episode) in this dog... While we'd like to investigate further, we simply can't use our dog as a "guinea pig" to learn more about these particular products and whether they may indeed be the cause of illness... We did share the lot numbers on the TEENIE Greenie products just in case Nutro receives other calls related to pet illness that may be attributable to a specific product lot. So, while we believe that Greenie products are seemingly safe for most dogs under most conditions, our dog does appear to have had bad reactions to a single batch of TEENIE Greenies, but not to the earlier Petite Greenies... We wish we knew more and we wish we could still use the product, but at this time we feel that we cannot use this product for our pet."
"She says that they've never had to have their dogs' teeth cleaned and that these have played a big role in that. I realize that there is some controversy regarding these treats, that some are concerned with the way they may not be processed by a dog's digestive system. When I first started giving them to Baxter I was careful to watch how he ate them (chewed them pretty thoroughly) and how he reacted afterwards (often got a drink, but not usually). After using them for about 6 months I'm comfortable that they are safe... Baxter weighs about 53 lbs - I cut these in half and only give him half a chew once a day - so we essentially get 54 treats/box. When he knows he's going to get one he's as excited as can be, runs over to his pad and sits patiently while I bring it over to him. I recommend these, but don't just toss it to your buddy and walk away - at least at first."
"Greenies is the one treat my puggle, Frankie, will always take and has no stomach upset with. They are not a dental miracle but for her age her teeth are in good shape, if this is due to the Greenies is anyone's guess... I have been buying these for about 8yrs at brick and mortar stores then finally thought to search for them on Amazon and they are much less expensive here. The only problem we have is I swear she is addicted to them like they're puppy crack, if she doesn't get her Greenie she will start shaking, and if you ask her "What" she runs back and forth between the counter with the dog treat jar and the living room as if to lure us towards them, until she gets her fix for the day..... We can't even mention the color green in the house without her flipping out it's too funny, as she will be sleeping on her window seat and if she hears the word green she jumps up and runs to the kitchen. When I go to the cabinet they are in she sits and waits, then once it's in my hand dances in a dizzying circle for it. They are a bit pricey but I still buy them because she's worth it, plus I'd rather buy them than waist money on other treats that she doesn't enjoy as much."
") 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... 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."
"I have a 5 year old ~30 lb Cockapoo (cocker spaniel poodle mix) and these may now very well be as exciting as the word "walk" is to most dogs. Every morning he gets one for doing his tricks before I go to work (360's on his hind legs and while jumping in the air) I have yet to come across a treat he like more... Which has significantly improved since he started getting these on a daily basis. I give him the "petite" size - although the "regular" size is recommended for his weight so as long as your dog doesn't inhale what they eat and the weight is on the cusp between two sizes I think its safe to go with the lower size as otherwise I was having to break them in half in order to not break my bank :) NEVER had an issue with cocking and hes been getting these for about a year now. BE SURE TO WATCH YOUR DOG EAT THESE THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF GIVING THEM!!!! They are a chocking hazard and I would NEVER one anyone's dog to be chocking on these from trying to eat them too fast!!! Otherwise your dog will love these and you will love your dogs breath after a few weeks of use!"
