Alert for dog owners: stay away from Greenies

I didn’t realize this was a problem until recently, but apparently there’s evidence that Greenies are very bad for your dog. We’d been giving them to Ronan, who has a history of sensitive stomach issues, for some time, and I guess we didn’t think that Greenies were part of the problem because he’d had a tendency to get sick before we started giving them to him.

Recently, on a hunch, we stopped giving him Greenies, and miraculously, he stopped getting sick.

Then we find this out.

We’re now using Buddy Biscuits, which we found at Whole Foods, and we have a lot healthier Scottie to show for it.

  • You’ll recall Ronan never got anything but 100 percent crunchy Milk Bones (for small dogs, no less) when he came strutting into 214 Murphy.
    Seriously, thanks for passing this along.

  • Ronan appreciates that, unlike Mom and Dad, not everybody is trying to kill him.

  • This was in the news several months ago. I thought you saw it since it was all over CNN for a while.

  • I try and avoid CNN when I can. In this case, that seems to have been a bad thing.

  • I do, too, now. When I get home, guess what’s on? Nancy Grace and then all the hollywood news I can handle…which is about 15 seconds. I miss Rudi. 🙂

    No Diamond – Ronan eats Nutro, which is good for his sensitive little stomach.
    Tell everybody we said hello….
