In the spirit of full disclosure I consult for the Greenies company and issued this news.

Appreciate the opportunity to clear up any confusion about canine Greenies. The original product formulation was REPLACED in mid 2006 with a new formulation that is more soluble and digestible. There have been no reports of obstructions or blockages since that time.

Every person owned by a dog knows that they love to chew and they’re frequently indiscriminate in what they choose to chew! Some are “gulpers” like my Doberman.

It’s important to monitor everything your dog chews. Giving your dog appropriate–and appropriately sized–treats, chew toys and the like is just being a responsible pet parent.

The five sizes of Greenies each have a different texture to provide maximum dental benefit, accounting for the chewing capability in that weight range. It’s truly a case of “one size does NOT fit all.”

While some pet owners may not understand this, pet professionals–especially veterinarians–do. That’s why most are confident in recommending Greenies for daily oral care.

Thanks!
