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
