My Italian Greyhound has one a day for YEARS with no issues. He, too, once got one stuck to the roof of his mouth and I easily extracted it. As with ANY such treat, it's important to monitor your dog to assure he CHEWS it well, which my dog always has. If your dog doesn't chew such treats, AS THE DIRECTIONS STATE, don't feed him Greenies, that simple. IGs are notorious for requiring good dental care. For mine, the Greenies GREATLY increase times between expensive dental cleanings at the vet and mine has a FIT until he gets his after dinner! He holds his between his feet and chews them as if doing a demonstration for the company, alternating from one side of his back teeth to the other--takes him about 10 minutes to finish. Without trying to cast aspersions on any of the other reviewers here, it's difficult to take seriously the review of a woman who feeds the wrong size to her chihuahua.... A 5 lb. dog should be given a TEENY WEENY Greenie, which would greatly reduce the chances of it becoming wedged in her dog's mouth. It would also be MUCH easier to extract in the event it still happened. All anecdotal “evidence” aside, Greenies are safe for MOST dogs. My Italian Greyhound has one a day for YEARS with no issues.

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! My shih-tzu had an episode after consuming a greenie.

The greenie was very rubbery. 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.
