Greenies are nutritious snacks for your pet... my friend has a coon (VERY PICKY) and she says her kitty LOVES them!
She said it took about 5 weeks to get them (could be becasue we are in canada), but she received 5 mini sample packs and a coupon, plus - if she reponds to them letting them know what her litties fav. flavour is - they will send her another free sample in that flavour!
Talk about a marketing campaign!
This is available in the US AND Canada (wohoo!), and it's free - so what they hay! |

my cats won't eat them....also dogs have died from these things.
Not a lot of dogs but enough to steer me away from them. |

I have heard about dogs choking and dying from greenies. But all the cases I read about were becuz the owners either gave the dog a size too small for them in which the dog tried to swallow the whole big piece and choked on it or the owner got a larger greenie and chopped it into small pieces and fed it to the dog and it got stuck in their throat.
Every dog I have ever given a greenie LOVED them and it was like giving catnip to a cat. So keeping that in mind and a dogs tendency to scarf things down without chewing....well ultimately I can see where that would lead to problems cuz people weren't thinking. Of course Greenies arent the only popular chew toys that can cause problems, so just imagine all the possibilities when buying stuff for your pets. |

Oh and Vianne really likes the Feline Greenies. They are nothing like the dog kind tho. I sometimes use them for her trick training. Either that or she really likes the crunchy Aquari-yums. But sometimes I just use pieces of food. She's not too picky when it comes to crunchy stuff, lol.  |
