I think what you should take away from this thread is... every dog is different, just like every human is different. First of all, the hype over Greenies is blown WAY out of proportion. It's simply because there is a company to sue that it's making news headlines. For the number of Greenies sold to the number of incidents... it's tiny. My mom's black lab snarfed down an entire corn cob half (honest!) that got lodged in her digestive system. She had to get surgery. ANYTHING a dog gets to that it does not chew properly can cause the same problem. That's like saying you shouldn't giv gummy bears to 20-year olds because a few people DIE from choking on gummy bears. *shrug* Media hype is lame, people... think about the logic behind things before you repeat it.
As for rawhide, there's really little concern as long as your dog chews it. You'll know soon enough if your dog is compatible with rawhide. Get a medium-sized piece in any shape and let them at it. If they like it AND the chew it... great! If either of those is missing... bad!
Common sense really...
