GREENIES Weight Management TEENIE Natural Dog Dental Care Chews Weight Control Dog Treats, 12 oz. Pack (43 Treats)

So here's the deal ....I have bought and advocated for Greenies for many years. I have small dogs . They LOVE them . One of my dogs (Pekingese , almost 4 yrs old) really loves her greenie treats and so I was breaking the teenie size (got both regular and weight maintenance bags) into smaller pieces and giving them to her as little bits throughout the day after going potty, after a walk, or as a treat otherwise . The equivalent to 1, sometimes up to 2 teenie size greenies per 24 hours or so . Not every day , but often and consistently throughout the week . For about 3 years . Noticed some green poop as a result often , didn't seem like a big deal , and healthy happy dogs otherwise . I give them to our other dog too, who is a senior . But I started noticing bloating in our one dog who eats the greenies nearly daily , and some other bowel issues, not really realizing the cause of the issue or how bad it was going to get . Then recently I noticed some bright blood with her poop, which was obviously alarming . But it seemed to be a one time deal . Fast forward one week later ....Shes restless at night , seemed to be wanting to whip around and bite her back legs suddenly , like some mysterious thing was going on that was bothering her. I realize now it was from stomach pings and pangs I guess . Then I noticed she was in obvious discomfort, she's got a lot of fur , so I didn't realize she was as bloated as she was . Vomited her dinner . Bloody poop again. Next morning she cried out when I touched her sides or tried to pick her up , and suddenly couldn't jump up on things , and by the time I got her to the vet that day , she was even having trouble walking like her back wa ms hurting her (this all being symptoms of pancreatitis) . Took her immediately to the vet ....Vet X-ray showed lots of painful gas in her intestines , and pancreatitis inflammation of her poor tissues (blood work still good, fortunately) It was very painful for her and I realize now that she probably was having a lot of those symptoms over a longer period of time from trying to process the greenies , but since it was not acute or obvious , I missed the signs and discomfort she was experiencing . She had to have meds for immediate relief and recovery of the stomach and bowel inflammation , bloating, bloody poop etc. As a result, I really scrutinized her total diet ....and I cut all the greenies out ....that's the only change I have made ... NO more greenie treats. The only other treat she got much less often was another garbage treat that's a "digestible" rawhide called Dreambones which I'm also very suspicious of , as it has similar ingredients to the greenies. No more of that garbage either . If I don't make the treat myself , then I don't give it to her . So I have a big worthless bag of leftover Greenie's now . I don't even in good conscience feel like I can donate it . What if thry harm some other poor dogs .My dog's bowels and little system are recovering, mercifully . A truly frightening and painful experience...and expensive vet too. And I always try to buy the very "best" for my dogs with all foods and products (Honest Kitchen , Taste of the Wild) and I thought for a long time that these greenies were a relatively healthy, harmless and safe treat to regularly give . So I will never give my animals these greenies again ...why take the risk??! Cruel kindness on my part . Read the other bad reviews and sad experiences .... maybe nothing will ever happen to your dog , but maybe something bad will . So why on earth would you take that risk. Interestingly , the person in front of me at the vet was also there with a dog (schnauzer) who was experiencing occasional blood with pooping , and I overheard them say his favorite treat was the Greenies and he often had the Greenie pill pockets (even saw them by more from the vet for meds he was going home with) People , like me , just don't know the potential harm they're giving. So beware . If you wouldn't eat it yourself , don't give it to your dog.

I am a CVT (certified veterinary technician) and a dog owner, and I can tell you that two problems are becoming more and more common among pets: one, dental disease, and two, obesity.Decades ago, the idea of dental care for pets was laughable. Dogs and cats didn't outlive their teeth, basically. But over the years, our understanding of diet and preventative medicine has improved. Now pets are living much longer, we realize the impact dental health has on the pet's overall well-being, and we know that it's important to keep those chompers as close to pearly-white as possible. Regular healthcare includes dental cleanings, which can get expensive if it involves a lot of tooth/gum damage.The best way to prevent dental disease is to brush your dog's teeth.Another aid is dental-formula food and treats, which can help with tartar control. (Use these WITH, not instead of, brushing!)The Veterinary Oral Health Council approves of Greenies Dental Chews. (Their website lists the products they endorse.) Greenies offers a variety of chews, and this Weight Management formula addresses the other issue that our pets are facing: obesity. Using Greenies judiciously won't load your pet with calories.Both of my dogs love their Greenies!

Daisy had gained way too much weight. My husband loved to give her tr5eats but when her weight gain started to impact her health, we had a talk. C hanged her treats to the weight6 management greenies and vegetables, which he could give her once a day thus satisfying her desire for a treat and his need for treating her. Daisy has lost 7 lbs and looks and acts so much better. Her pancreatitis has cleared up. Thank you Greenies for being a big part of this health improvement for my Daisy.

So I actually bought these for my cat, and she loves them. I first started with the little crunchy ones made for cats, but since I adopted her from the mean streets, where she went hungry a lot, so now she eats so fast that she was swallowing the little ones whole. Well, that defeats the whole point of the crunchy chewing part to clean her teeth. SO I thought I'd try the ones for small dogs, since they are firm, but soft, so the dogs teeth sink into it as they chew, plus, they are the toothbrush looking things size. So I cut them up into pieces, and it worked! She has to chew them, can't swallow the pieces whole, so I'm hoping it will give her the advantage of helping clean her teeth. My other cat loves them too.

My Karen Terrier mix loves this treat. It took him a day or two to get used to it but now he looks forward to them every day. My vet recommended this product to me and I was a little hesitant at first to buy it because of the price but my main reason for getting it was that it was designed for chewers and was supposed to help with bad breath. Happy to say that it did what it claimed. Within about a week of giving him one or two of these treats daily I definitely noticed an improvement in his breath. I just bought a second one. Definitely recommend. .

I’ve been looking for the “Weight Management” kind for a very long time! They used to be readily available, but I think Greenies discontinued this particular kind, which I’m super disappointed about. My doggie is chubby, so these were a great daily treat for her and they really do help with keeping their teeth clean. I highly recommend any Greenies brand products!

SHOKO, my 10 year old Toy Poodle LOVES his Greenies. He gets one after his morning walk! He can barely contain himself while I take one out of the bag. He knows to sit down patiently until I offer that day’s treat.

My dog loves them...a bit too much.cries for them..The only problem I've found is you must keep the bag tightly closed. They start out chewy soft but will get rock hard if you leave the bag open. They freshen dog breath too Vet told me two a day..The dog wants 5 a day What to do?

色々なガムを試しましたが、一番食いつきがよいのがこれ。シニアになってきたこともあり、柔らかさもほどよいのかも。病院の歯検診も◎です。

お値段がお安くていいです。お留守番する時に、与えて行きます。もらえる時は、自らお座りして、お目々ウルウルです。

美味しく食べてます

took too long to get to me, not worth the money supposed to be a denti stick only lasted seconds.

My dogs absolutely love these! Every night I take out 2 from their "cookie jar" in the kitchen and the boys run upstairs and sit outside of the bedroom waiting for me to come up and give them their "bedtime treat."They have not had any problems with digestion, but a couple of times part of the chew got stuck in the roof of their mouth, I think from being overly zealous about eating them and I had to dislodge the piece. It was not a choking risk, but I do think that dogs should be supervised when eating these (it will only take a minute finish) in case they do get a piece stuck, or try to swallow it whole.I do find that the greenies help a lot for keeping the teeth clean, but I still brush about once a week to make sure all teeth are being reached.
