Well, LOTS of companies lie about their products all the time for the bottom line, which is money. So I don't see why this company would be exempt from it. I don't see what a vet would gain by saying they found a gelatinous mass that was not digestible, if it wasn't true. In all honestly the company is not telling the truth about it being digestible to the extent they claim. Now that it not a cause for people to stop giving them if they feel that their situations pose no problems and if they like the product, but honest representation of a product SHOULD be a priority, but for many many companies it's not. I do blame companies for doing whatever it takes to sell product, to the point of lying, and it's not just about the greenies, it happens all the time with all sorts of different companies.
My dog once ate a pin cushion full of pins and was able to pass them all, but that doesn't make them safe to give. Everyone has to decide if a product is safe, in their opinion, to give, but companies should be held responsible for not telling the full truth about their products.
