Day One: Sunday Greenies

For Max's first few posts, I'm going to review the tried and tested toys and treats that make up his day to day life. After we've cycled through those, we'll branch out to try new things. Today, I'm reviewing his Sunday Greenie ritual. Max gets one Greenie every week. Greenies are the entire meaning of life for Max. They're his favorite treat in the world and nothing gets him as excited as when I reach for the bag of Greenies in the cupboard. Since Max is a 50 lb. dog, he gets regular sized Greenies. Today, Max's friend Dings is over, so she got in on the Greenie fun. Dings weighs about the same as Max but is much gentler on toys and treats as she is three years older and has a previous jaw injury. See Max and Dings before commencement of destruction:



The Stats: Greenies

Play time: Max finished his Greenie in 3 minutes flat. I stopped watching Dings when she was halfway done at 6 minutes. That jaw issue is major.

Durability: N/A

Cost: Greenies are pretty expensive for a treat that lasts three minutes.

Safety: Greenies are safe toys, but monitor your dogs with them! If a large enough piece is swallowed, the dog can get a blockage and a resulting trip to the dog ER.
