Controversy Over Greenies Dog Treats
Consumer Specialist Jee-Yun Lee tells you why purchasing dog treats can be tricky.
Some dog lovers have nothing but great things to say about the treats called Greenies, but there are others who claim they’re dangerous because the animals have a hard time digesting them.
Greenies do come with feeding guidelines, and guardians are supposed to check the package to make sure they’re buying the right size treat for their pooch. For more information on these chewy dog snacks, visit the Greenies’ website by clicking here.

There are a number of other items that can pose a risk to your four-legged friend. Lynda Elmy of the Toronto Humane Society said bones, including beef shanks and joints, and rawhide chews can be dangerous.
“Never leave your dog alone when they’re chewing on a bone,” she tells Pulse24.com. “You should be in the house and you should be there to supervise and check on what’s going on.”
That goes for toys too and items like rubber bands, string, and tinsel.
“You have to think of your pet the same way that you would think of your child. Whatever could hurt your child could hurt your dog,” Elmy explained.
There are a number of human foods that can seriously harm your pet, including:
Chocolate
Grapes and raisins
Garlic
Onions
