This week, a DDL reader asks Dr. Manley about a popular dog treat - Greenies.
This week's question:
Dr. Manley,
I have heard that Greenies can be dangerous for pets by getting "stuck" in
the digestive tract. Is there any truth to this?
Thank you!
Molly
Dr. Manley's Reply:
Hi Molly,
 There were some reports of obstructions caused by the product a couple of years ago. Greenies have been reformulated to dissolve in the digestive tract. They are safer than they have ever been.
Thanks for the question....Dr. Manley

Spring will be here soon, and doggies everywhere will be heading to dog parks, restaurant patios, and walking trails. When driving with your pet, don't let your dog ride with his head outside the window. This makes him vulnerable to inner ear damage and lung infections, or he could be injured by flying objects. Keep your dog in his crate or in a harness attached to a seat buckle. |
