One of my customer's dogs ate pounds of gravel out of their driveway and had to have $1,000's of dollars of emergency surgery to save his life.
A few weeks ago, my sister's dog found a pair of socks under my nephew's bed and ate them. They became wrapped around her intestines, and again ... $1,000's of dollars in emergency surgery and a month of crate rest and special diet.
I have heard of dogs eating, swallowing and choking on everything from kibble to panty hose.
Yes, things happen. Just like they happen to people. Babies can choke on a piece of cracker one day, even though they've been eating crackers for months. Someone may choke to death on a bite of hamburger or an olive. It happens.
Use common sense, watch your dog with ANYthing you give him. IMO, greenies are no more of a potential danger than anything else.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
