NO GREENIES

So i was in a pet store when this new pet owner was looking for things to buy...

The owner was soooooo pushing the greenies so i HAD to step in..

BOY the attitude i got for speaking up by the owner...

I just do not understand WHY? I mean they are known to be dangerous..

WHY are pet stores selling them stillChat Icon

Well, I for one think you're a great person for trying to educate someone and possibly saving their dog.Chat Icon

Re: NO GREENIES

I don't understand why the pet stores still have them it is ridiculous. That person is lucky you were there!!!! I didn't know anything when I first got Molly and remember seeing Greenies everywhere. Thank god I read the article about them on here a few months ago!

Do a search on here for the article. I believe that they are hard for the dogs to digest and a few have died from them. Chat Icon

A couple of the websites had them, but they are changing the labels to let people know that they are a choking hazzard, and also that they can cause sever digestive problems that may lead to death.
