I agree with the others .... Greenies are like any other treat or item - you MUST watch and control your dog. Dogs can die from eating rawhide, panty hose, rocks, socks, ANYthing.
My sister's dog got the dresser drawer open, after opening the closed bedroom door BTW, and ate about twenty socks. $2,000 of emergency surgeries and two months later, she is fine.
I had a customer who had to rush her dog to the vet at midnight for a likewise costly surgery ... after the dog ate pounds of gravel out the the driveway. They had had the dog, and the gravel driveway, for ten years prior to this with no incident.
My dogs get, and will continue to get, Greenies. And I will continue to watch them while they eat them.

"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
