Pet Product Recall Update - Are Greenies Dog Treats Going to Be Recalled?
February 15, 2006
In a recent CNN story, it was revealed that at least 13 dogs have died after being fed “a greeny,” which is the top-selling dog treat in America.
The Greenies brand dog treats can become stuck in a dog’s throat or intestine where, according to some veterinarians, they do not break down properly for swallowing or digestion.
Despite the fact that Greenies are marketed and packaged as being easily digested, a veterinarian from Denver, Colorado told CNN “Certainly the ones that we’ve taken out, esophageal or intestinal, that have been in for days are still very hard”.
At least one set of dog owners, Michael Eastwood and wife Jenny Reiff, have filed a lawsuit against Greenies. They will be taking the dog treat company to court for $5 million in New York, blaming Greenies for the death of their dog Burt.

My Maltese has been eating these for a while, but this morning was choking and vomited up several pieces of an undigested greenie he had eaten 24 hours before. The greenie was very rubbery.
My shih-tzu had an episode after consuming a greenie. He was in obvious pain, hardly able to move on the first day. Days 2-5, he was placed on chicken and rice diet. He didn’t have any bowel movement for 5 days. He went to the vet 3 times in those 5 days, had an x-ray, a rectal exam, multiple meds, and lotsa love. The vet didn’t believe it was a greenie. I have never fed them to my dog since then. We now go to a new vet, who also said she never heard of greenies causing distress. I guess now she will!
after using greenies,i switched to grennies smart biscuit because it was supposed to be safer.it killed my mini schnauzer,or so i believe very strongly.she was up todate on all her vet checks,very healthy,happy and playful until she ate a smart biscuit.
