I just bought some today for Mia and my Lab Brandy.

The Petite says for 6 mo and older/10 lbs. And it says 2 a day????? That seems like a HUGE amount. I was thinking 1 maybe 2 a week.

Do you give these to your younger pups? Mia eats the nylabone bacon and cheese edible bones just fine.

I bought a sample of the bits and gave her just a couple and she loved them.

TIA

Yes, that's an insane amount, even for a 10 lb dog, in my opinion. They probably just say that so you'll buy more of them, or perhaps if your dog ONLY eats Greenies that day and nothing else.

We feed Yoda a maximum of two per week, we started giving it to him maybe around 6-8 months of age. Just check to see how Mia is after you give her a half of one, and check to see if it goes through her system well the next day.
