CNN report on Greenies

**Flatcoatluver** · 02-16-2006, 01:37 PM

I'm not giving my dog's greenies because I don't have the time to watch them, they love to make their greenies last a life time.

We don't give them to Sequoia because she liked to stuff them lengthwise in her mouth and run around the house with them. I was afraid she was going to swallow them whole. I even tried a bigger size and she still managed to get it lengthwise in her mouth. Since she doesn't chew much I didn't feel it was worth the worry.

I am not trying to be an alarmist at all. Like I said there are millions of dogs that have chewed these and not had a problem at all.

I feel the same as Carmen.
Of course, whenever I give my dogs any sort of chew, I lay on the floor with my face in their face watching every bite, call me a weirdo.

I actually enjoy it, though.

Denyce, have you tried the Greenies Lil Bits for Sequoia? I know my dogs eat Greenies like it's crack, so since their so tasty it might be a nice little treat or something.

Hehehe
I do that too. I like it. My husband calls me "the bone holder" because sometimes, I'm on the floor with them with a bone or treat in each hand, holding it for them while they chew. I get cramps in my hands sometimes from them tugging. Ouch but fun!

Yep, I do the same! :P

I hold it for the girls. Simba is very good about chewing his treat/bones/etc so I trust him - but the girls need to be watched.

I really like doing it, sort of a bonding thing, ya know?

No I haven't seen those, however if they are hard Sequoia won't chew them. We have had her teeth checked just to make sure they aren't sore because she really doesn't seem to like hard things to chew. But then she really doesn't even destroy her stuffies. She nibbles on them with her front teeth but she won't pull or chew them. She won't even eat crunchy treats. Her favorite treats are these venison ones we buy at a pet store here. But they are chewy.

This is what they look like.
They are very tiny. Easy to chew. Frankie would get a few for training when he was little.
