| Updated Greenies Info |
| Okay everyone, today's updates on greenies related problems and deaths. What is being done? What can you do? |
Collected on the Internet, 2005 I have a warning to pass on with a story to tell of my own..... On the way back from the Dobe National this year, I was walking one of the dogs at the airport waiting for the owner to return our rental car when the dog decided to throw up.....I was shocked to see a mass of green rubber-like material and immediately called the owner. The mass looked like something you would see in the pad under a carpet. I was assured the dog did not shred anything...and that the only thing the dog had been given to eat recently was a "Greenie"... |
"...one of those formed green dog treats that look like a toothbrush.....I couldn't believe one of those pressed dog treats would reconstitute into what looked like a mass of foam rubber pieces!
Well, after getting home my friend did an experiment....cut up one of those things and soaked it in water overnight....low and behold a mass of foam rubber crap! Certainly NOT digestible! We both made a note to never feed those things again...and then last night in the Seattle area the newscast did a piece on...you guessed it GREENIES! A whole story about how dogs are DYING from blockages after eating those stupid things! Here is a link to the article....turns out they are NOT 100% digestible....DUH!
SO PLEASE pass this info on....permission to cross post!!
Mike Eastwood passed on this information of recent news stories as well:

One of our readers who wishes to be Anoymous wrote a comment to us as follows:
"My father works at a plant that manufactures "Greenies", which also manufactures plastics. The weird thing is, Greenies are manufactured in the same machine that plastic products were once manufactured in. I don't believe that "Greenies" are even proper for dogs to eat. I have personally seen the manufacturing conditions, and I won't feed them to my dog. "
And one more I would like you all to notice:
"I work for a PR company and we are looking for stories evidence or anything of the kind to submit a national press release. We are all dog owners and we are frankly pissed. Please contact me asap email
ocvinc@gmail.com We have a data base of every single paper in the country and more. We are working for free and we want to spread the word creatively about a possible class action."
Please everyone, if you have not already done so, get in touch with this PR company or your local news station and tell them YOUR story.
