Well, this can be common in many pet treats. Rawhide chews will expand in the dog's throat and choke them, even if the bite was small. They are so tough and leathery that if the bite is just slightly big, it has a great risk of expanding in the dog's esophagus. Baisically, those have to be shredded very finely to be completly safe. With Greenies being so compact, I've noticed that it is actually difficult for my dogs to eat them. They give up and leave them all over the house. Other veggie bones also clean teeth.(the bones with the little ridges that you can crack off with your hand) They are also easier for the dog to proporly chew, are broken down better in the digestive system, and are also not nearly as expensive as Greenies. It's very sad, but you do have to be careful when buying pet treats.
