Greenies

Greenies are a brand of dental chew treats for dogs, manufactured by the PetSafe brand. They are designed to help clean dogs' teeth and freshen their breath. The treats are typically V-shaped and come in various sizes to suit different dog breeds. The primary ingredients usually include wheat gluten, gelatin, and natural flavors.

The concept behind Greenies is to provide a palatable way for dogs to engage in a chewing behavior that helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup. The texture of the treat is intended to be firm enough to provide a cleaning action as the dog chews, similar to brushing. They are often recommended by veterinarians as a supplement to regular dental care.

Greenies are available in several formulations, including options for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, as well as variations for specific dental needs like tartar control or sensitive teeth. The product line also includes different flavors. While generally considered safe, it's always advised for owners to supervise their dogs when giving them any chew treat to prevent choking hazards. Overconsumption can also lead to digestive upset.
