Greenies are Dangerous-i got this in a email.

Idiotic people need to watch their dogs.
They ruin things for everyone else.

Also like someone had already posted: A lot of foods expand when they are soaked. Just my opinion.

I agree with you completely. That's how I view it too and I just made that same point to my friend the other day when we were discussing this topic.

I don't know about DentaGreens, but I've looked at some of the ingredients on "Greenies knock-offs" and they don't quite addd up to greenies. (I can't remember if DentaGreens are one of the brands I looked at or not.) Greenies DO NOT have green dye in them, the color comes from purly from the chlorophyll in them. I've noticed that other brands DO have dye in them. They do have chlorophyll in them, but not enough to give it the green color without adding dye too.

Me personally I am not going to use greenies. I gave my pup Zero them once when he was smaller, he started throwing up and he was so sick. Had to take him to the vet. Scared the crap outta me. I'm not taking the chance for him to get sick again
