The Doggie Bag: Beware of the Greenies



There's a lot of concern out there about the danger of the popular dog treat Greenies. We don't include Greenies in our dog gift baskets but we know they are popular. Last year, it was top selling dog treat in the country. Here's the latest news:
  • The maker of Greenies plan on changing the labels to now say that they should not be digested entirely. Better late than never, I guess. [Houston Chronicle]
  • Pet Owners filing a lawsuit after their dogs died. [nbc4.tv]
  • Owners love Greenies, calling them 'Doggie Crack' -- it might be just as deadly. [Newsday.com]
  • Death toll up to 13 dogs because of Greenies, say owners. [CNN]

My father in law feeds his dog these all the time. I forwarded him the message. Thanks for the heads up!

Interesting. The study showed that
"compressed vegetable treats" are
in third place after bones and fishhooks for causing obstructions. Why don't we see more warnings for people who feed
the RMB (Raw Meaty Bones) Diet.
Or for that matter, people who
take their dogs fishing. Of course,
it's not possible to sue the butcher or cattleman or fishhook
manufacturer, is it!
