Yeah, I'd heard about that, we've never given our girls greenies, thank goodness!

:-) I thought about the girls when I read this.

Yeah, Aussie tends to eat her treats whole if she thinks anyone else is going to try to take them. *sigh* Ergo we stay away from *really* hard treats, they get bones, which she loves to chew and your treats. :)

Yeah, I talked to a few people on Dogster who's dogs died after eating Greenies - right after that, we stopped giving them to Angus.
He threw up almost every time he had them anyway, and he ALWAYS threw up large pieces!
