A new article on CNN reports that Greenies, the best selling dog treat in the country, has been linked to at least 13 dog deaths.
It seems that large pieces of the bone can easily lodge in a dog’s esophagus or intestine. Greenies are marketed as being easy to digest, but Veterinarians who have removed blockages say that the pieces of Greenies that are removed are still very hard and have not begun to be digested by the dog.
