I thought they were good for the dog. They are suppose to clean their teeth and help with bad breath.

I have Great Danes and German Shepherds. My dogs ONLY get Petite greenies (because I know they chew them up all the way) because I have seen dogs with the green runs. (yucky) They also only get one evyer couple days at the very most instead of the one a day which the package says. I also feed any rawhide this way. I give my dogs plenty of time to digest the rawhide or greenies before feeding them anything else and they only get rawhide every couple of weeks. The last thing I need is a surgury bill! As long as you are careful the dog should be fine. I also agree with the precious comment about a miracle cure for bad breath. They help, but they are not going to fix the problem. Also, bad breath doesnt always stem from bad teeth. If the dogs teeth seem ok but the dog still has bad breath try some Charcoal biscuits, they help deoderize the digestive tract, as does the chlorophyl in the greenies. Merrick makes a little tub of real small "breath biscuits" with chlorophyll in them but they arent as hard as greenies, they are more like your typical Iams biscuit consistancy. Just a few suggestions from the retail side of the pet industry.
