I can't believe this Greenie subject is back again. My dogs love greenies. They don't get them everyday because of the expense, but they do get them. I agree that they are as safe (if not safer) than other chews.
Though this thread isn't about feeding raw, I'll add my opinion on that too. I personally don't believe that just because a wolf chases down, kills, and eats a rabbit that it means pet dogs should be eating raw meat too. Dogs are not savages, they are domesticated pets. (NOTE: I'm not saying a dog who eats raw is a savage, I'm saying wolves are.) I personally am not a fan of feeding raw, it's simply not for me. I'm not going to tell someone who does feed raw that it's wrong, same as I don't need someone telling me that feeding kibble is wrong.
Also for the record, I wouldn't feed Kibbles & Bits, however some dogs do actually do fine on it. My grandma had a lab who lived to be 13, not too bad for a lab. He was a farm dog, he ran in the fields, he drank and played in the creek. He often slept outside at night. He ate kibbles & Bits and table scraps. He was never sick. He started slowing down do to arthritis when he was 12 or 13. My grandma had him put down at 13 because of the arthritis. I'm not saying he wouldn't have done as well or better on a better diet, but it didn't seem to really hurt him at all.
