I received the following message from a member of my club.
I have a warning to pass on with a story to tell of my own.....
On the way back from the Dobe National this year, I was walking one of
the
dogs at the airport waiting for the owner to return our rental car when
the
dog
decided to throw up.....I was shocked to see a mass of green rubber-like
material and immediately called the owner. The mass looked like
something
you would
see in the pad under a carpet. I was assured the dog did not shred
anything...and that the only thing the dog had been given to eat
recently
was a
"Greenie"...one of those formed green dog treats that look like a
toothbrush.....I
couldn't believe one of those pressed dog treats would reconstitute into
what
looked like a mass of foam rubber pieces!
Well, after getting home my friend did an experiment....cut up one of
those
things and soaked it in water overnight....low and behold a mass of foam
rubber
crap! Certainly NOT digestible! We both made a note to never feed those
things again...and then last night in the Seattle area the newscast did
a
piece
on...you guessed it GREENIES! A whole story about how dogs are DYING
from
blockages after eating those stupid things! Here is a link to the
article....turns
out they are NOT 100% digestible....DUH!
