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

Unfortunately, even the most careful of pet parents may need to find emergency care for their dogs. The first step is to be prepared. Find an emergency clinic close to your home and post their number in a prominent place or save it to your mobile phone. If your dog shows signs of serious injury or trauma, you can call the clinic for advice and if necessary, inform them that you are on your way with your dog so they can prepare for your arrival. |
