I don't know why this latest article is making such a splash- I've known
about the problem with Greenies for years.

Why the focus *yet again* on Greenies? I don't give any chew
stuff to one of my dogs: turkey necks, sperm bones, etc. are
off-limits to Rocky The Gulper, but Friday the Nibbler is fine
with them all - including Greenies. (He no longer gets
Greenies, but for reasons not associated with blockage.)

IMO, the Greenies manufacturer have been responsible in the
promotion of their product. It dismays me that so many people
are so willing to blame the product when the product was
entirely inappropriate to their dogs' habits to begin with.
