Rich's coworker found a chew similar to greenies, but without wheat gluten. She gave us two for Tasha to try and she loved it! They last only 5 min, and still come off in chunks like greenies, but Tasha seemed to chew it well. If anyone else has tried them, or has thoughts on the ingredients, please let me know.

Here's the info:

Petfooddirect.com carries them. I suspect they're the small size I have at home, but I'm not sure.

Does Tasha do ok with the little pieces? I'm too afraid of Julie getting a little piece stuck somewhere in her digestional tract. You know all the horror stories you hear about greenies getting stuck and the dogs getting sick and needing surgery.....some have died! I would be interested to know if these treats break down any easier than greenies do. Anyone with info.-please post.
