I'm glad that some attention is being brought to this. I know we've discussed it on this board before, but perhaps the publicity will help.

I'm so glad you posted this!  It was on the Newf-L site as well. 

Thanks....it's good to keep reminding all of us how dangerous these things can be!!!

This is the most in-depth, well researched article I've seen.  I had seen information on greenies before but it all seemed rather annecdotal and conflicting.  I was feeding our pup Freshies which are similar.  Asked our vet and he said they were safe.  Pup kept getting the runs which seemed to be connected to him getting into stuff he shouldn't.  One day I found a large chunk of freshie in his doggy doo and started to wonder.  Stopped feeding the Freshies and he's doing TONS better.  ::)
