Last week CNN reported on potential dangers with Greenies. In case you didn't see it, here's the link. (I'm not trying to be a scare-monger, but just posting it so you'll know.)
I was really glad to see CNN finally get the word out on this. The reason I give her greenie biscuits is to avoid the dangers associated with the greenies. The issues with greenies stem from dogs not properly chewing the Greenie itself, and I am here to tell you from firsthand experience that it's scary when that happens. Pugs are, after all, just pigs with their name spelled wrong.
What Chloe is getting are Milk-Bone type biscuits with very small bits of Greenies baked into them. These give the Greenie flavor that she loves without the danger of eating it in pieces too large for her digestive system or esophagus.
As an aside, pugs have been known to eat other bad things for their digestion, like plastic cups, ornament hangers and underwear. It's all true. I've seen it with my own eyes. ;-)

Ohhh, I'll have to mention those to my friend. After the report came out they decided that they weren't going to buy Greenies for their dog anymore and their dog loves Greenies. :)
