I just came across this on cnn.com: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/14/dangerous.dogtreat/index.html

I know it's been posted here before, but it bears repeating.

:thanx: for the reminder. Great idea to re-post in case our new members are not aware of this problem.

Mine have been enjoying them for years with no ill effect.
If you've stopped giving your dog their favorite treat the company has come out with biscuits with the shredded ones in it.

All the bad stuff happened before I even knew about them, never tried them. Glad I didn't start!

I stay clean away from those things. I also told Butch to do the same. He really didn't like the looks of them from the start.

I saw this on cnn.com. Glad to see it's getting more recognition. The thing I can't understand is why you keep seeing Greenies sold in vet offices, advertised in pet catalogs as "vet" recommended, etc.? :scratch: Scary huh?

I stopped giving that to Gi 2 months (???) ago when it was posted here. A good reminder. There are so many other treats that she didn't really miss out. :)
