Greenies Original Dog Dental Treat Regular 170g

Our corgi is not the most house broken when it comes to grooming. He gets fuzzy or runs away from you so sometimes brushing teeth can take longer than expected. We mentioned this to our local vet and asked for recommendations or suggestions of what to do, as Teolif our corgi, was showing signs of some build-up in his teeth. He told us to try out Greenies because the texture of it helps clean the teeth as the dog chews. Well I was skeptical and not sure if adding this treat to a treat-driven corgi would be of any use. But so far it has helped the process. Our corgi is obsessed with the treats, no surprise there. But it has also reduced the build-up to a more manageable occasional brushing-teeth need. This doesn't replace having to brush his teeth and it never will ... MoreOur corgi is not the most house broken when it comes to grooming.

This doesn't replace having to brush his teeth and it never will but it has helped tremendously to not have to chase him around just for brushing his teeth so often. We give him one a day, sometimes every other day and it's helped. Unfortunately I never took progress pictures but it works just takes time to see results. Oh and we get him the petite or tiny size because regular just seems to big for him, plus we have to keep his diet in check.

I purchased these because we struggle with our two dogs and brushing their teeth, they just don’t like it. I saw that Greenies had amazing reviews so that’s what helped me decide. My dog Cleo ate it up. She’s a Rottweiler, and will literally eat ANYTHING (except lettuce haha) She eats ate hers right by my feet. Her smell test after…hmm not bad. Now for Boomer, his breath would make a baby cry. He’s always sleeping, so I joke and say he’s more like a cat. So it has to be like a permanent morning breath for him. He gently takes the Greenie from my hand and walks to his bed to eat it. A few min later he comes to me wagging his tail-so I take that as he liked it. I do the smell test on his breath…it still smells like trash can in the middle of a hot summer day. Ok, ... MoreI purchased these because we struggle with our two dogs and brushing their teeth, they just don’t like it. I saw that Greenies had amazing reviews so that’s what helped me decide.

I do the smell test on his breath…it still smells like trash can in the middle of a hot summer day. Ok, ok..maybe it was slightly better than where he started from. I suppose Greenies work as well as where your dogs breath starts out and then with continued use, it can get fresher and fresher. But, continued use is the problem for my buddy Boomer. You see, that evening and through the night, he kept on asking me to let him out to go outside because he had diarrhea. I kept the box of Greenies and would give one to Cleo whenever her breath needed it and Boomer wasn’t looking (he’s deaf, so it’s super easy to sneak around him LOL) But, another time since Boomer’s initial tasting, a family member gave him a Greenie (not knowing that he couldn’t eat them) and his poor stomach was just as upset. So Greenies are a win for Cleo’s breath, not so much for Boomer. I’m thinking his stomach is just sensitive to a particular ingredient. I haven’t experimented with anything else for his breath since, but I will eventually. If your dog does not have a sensitive stomach, I’d say give these a try. Maybe try a small box at first, not go crazy with a value size until you know how your dog likes them.

We have a small 10 pound rescue chiweenie that simply will not allow us to brush her teeth. She will eat almost anything but she completely hates the canine toothpastes so we decided to offer the Greenies and she loves them. They are not 100% effective at improving her breath, but they do offer a method to help her dental hygiene, a real issue for small dogs, and hopefully the combination of the Greenies with a variety of other kinds of chews and Aquadent added to her water can help her maintain good dental hygiene. Years ago I lost a 3 year old dog who died from the effects of the anesthesia during a dental cleaning so I never want to have to put a dog through that risk again. All in all, Greenies have a good track record, they cause my dog no adverse effects at ... MoreWe have a small 10 pound rescue chiweenie that simply will not allow us to brush her teeth.

All in all, Greenies have a good track record, they cause my dog no adverse effects at all, the price has been reasonable and my dog loves the taste. I will be continuing to provide these treats to our young dog.

My babies love these so they get an A+ for flavor. However, I am cautious as a pet parent. These are hard chews that ever so slightly soften when eaten. I have one fur baby with sensitive teeth so I am concerned she may hurt her teeth or have breakage eating such a hard treat. I have another senior baby who has a bad habit of swallowing his treats once it breaks off and small enough for him to have in a his mouth. That being said I do think these can present a choking hazard. These would be great in bite sized form or made in a softer version. I don’t really see a difference in their dental heath especially since my dogs eat them a little unconventionally. Greenies don’t have much of a texture on the exterior so I’m not sure if it’s able to scrape plaque.

Best dental chews

I didn't think these would make a difference -- boy was I wrong! I was using a different, cheaper brand for about 6 months and thought they were doing the job until I started giving my boys Greenies! My boys' teeth and breath are so much better after only 2 weeks. There is a noticeable difference in the tartar and whiteness of their teeth and no more stinky breath. I do try to brush their teeth but only have minimal success so these are my best alternative when brushing is not an option. Yes, they are more expensive but not as expensive as having a dental cleaning at the vet. So yes, for me, these are a win/win. Never going back to my old brand. My dogs love them to boot!

Conversation with a dog

I buy Greenies on the recommendation of Nina: that's my dog. We came home from visiting Maxi who is Nina bestie.It transpired that Nina had a tete a tete with Maxie who talked her into browbeating me to get her some.Ay, Buggerlugs, her name for me, how's about we try some Greenies?Look, Nina, you get a 3 course meal each night, now you want to up it to 4!They're good for my teeth!Says who?Says Maxie!So I'm supposed to take notice of a dog?At which I was accused of speciesism, blatant disregard for her feelings and a total disregard for her dental wellbeing.I tried to explain something or other but she just got up and exited the room. Went into the back yard to commune with Nature, as she put it.I was going to continue the conversation with her in the yard ... MoreI buy Greenies on the recommendation of Nina: that's my dog.

Massive diarrhea

I’ve given treats from this recent order in two separate occasion. After the first one, we came to massive diarrhea all over our hallway carpet. This was the only different/new thing she ate that day besides white rice with her kibbles (normal daily breakfast). She had diarrhea for two straight days and had to go to vet for prescription. I wasn’t 100% sure it was the greenies.Fast forward for 7 days later and her diarrhea have disappeared. My 11 yo nephew gave my dog this treat while I was preoccupied. Again, diarrhea for 3 days.This may work for others but it was absolutely terrible for us. Had to donate the rest of the bag to family friend whose dog enjoys this.

My boy LOVES these!

At a recent vet visit, the doctor said that my 7 year old ShihTzu will need his first dental cleaning this fall. I expressed this to my mother, who offered him a teeny greenies treat, which my sister's dog gets daily. She told me that they are healthy for your dog, and help clean their teeth with chewing. He seemed to enjoy it, but I wasn't sure whether he would eat them as happily at home. (Treats from "Grammy" are special, and he would take and eat it from her even if he didn't like it).I'm happy to report that we are on day 3 of his daily teeny greenies treat, and he LOVES them! I know they won't replace a dental cleaning, but I am thrilled that he is so excited when I grab the bag to get his treat. He does a little tappy dance, and smiles at me while I'm ... MoreAt a recent vet visit, the doctor said that my 7 year old ShihTzu will need his first dental cleaning this fall.

After I give it to him, he finds a cozy spot to enjoy it, and will roll around in happiness, or give me a kiss and a smile after he finishes.Teeny Greenies Original has become a happy part of his daily routine, and because of this, you've gained another lifetime customer! I plan to get the other flavors for him to try as well, and hope he enjoys them just as much. The best part is knowing that my dog is enjoying such a healthy treat that's good for him- packed with vitamins and minerals that will help his body and teeth stay strong. We look forward to many happy tail wagging daily treat moments with Teeny Greenies in the future!Thank You Greenies!

Product Good but Sizing Not So Much

I bought these for my dog based on her weight but they are too big for her. She is a true Heinz-57 mixed breed which can making sizing an issue at times but she was pretty far over the next size down (by a third lbs) so I figured this would be the size for her. I wanted to make sure she was getting the benefits with the correct size but this definitely seems like something you have some wiggle room with. I wish the manufacture or Chewy would note that if you have a senior, or a smaller mouth, or less of a chewer you might want to consider other sizes. They have all kinds of styles of these (including as sr. option that was just added) but the single flavor in the larger quantity was the most cost effective so I bought them in bulk unfortunately.

This is why I love Chewy.

The product is 100% dog dad approved because the vet said Bentley’s teeth are in great shape. Told him about Greenies. He said stick with it. Next, the PRICE!! I know we do the most for our pets and I always will. But everything has gotten so expensive. I usually go to a big box store for these but after looking on Chewy, they had a sale price plus a coupon. I know I could probably find a coupon online somewhere and print it out etc. but, Chewy makes us so easy to do from the app. Lastly, I’ve been using Chewy for at least the last decade. Their most valuable business model is getting their items to you ASAP! I lived in San Diego my whole life and wasn’t too surprised that my items arrived quickly. However, when I moved 7 years ago to rural south Arkansas (45 minute ... MoreThe product is 100% dog dad approved because the vet said Bentley’s teeth are in great shape. Told him about Greenies.
