My Sophie LOVE'S her greenies!!!! I keep them in a seperate place than the rest of her treats (because I buy the largest package I can get, and they won't fit where I keep the other treats). So when she goes out and does her business after I get home from work, she gets a greenie. I ask what do you want and she runs to the cabnit where I keep them and barks and dances around like a happy kid that is going to the candy store. Just recently I didn't order them soon enough and she ran out before they came in 4 or 5 days later. She was sooooo disappointed when I showed her there wasn't any and looked like she was saying "how could you do this to me?" Made me feel bad.
Bailey and I have our daily ritual and when he comes in from his first potty time he waits and looks at me to see if I am going to give him his Greenies. He knows he gets TWO of them and if he only gets ONE (which sometimes happens if I am running out) he stands and looks at me. He LOVES his Greenies.
I am the pet parent of the pickiest toy poodle ever born. He turns his nose up at almost any food or treats that are offerred to him. So, I tried Greenies just to see; but, I wasn't expecting too much. Boy, was I wrong! From the first treat, Rascal was in love. He happily trots off to eat his treat as quickly as he can. I'm glad to have found a treat he loves that is also good for him. His teeth are cleaner and his breath is fresher, too! Glad I took a chance on Greenies!!
Each night before bed, Mickey gets her Greenie. She loves them and gets so excited when I say, "Greenie". No more bad breath when whe breathes in my face.
My westie has food allergies and can't have anything with wheat, gluten, soy or preservatives. Is there an alternative to greenies that doesn't contain any of these ingredients?
Hi, Good question. The two alternative dental products I'd recommend that don't contain any of the grain and soy products are Be Fresh Dental Solution: http://www.1800petmeds.com/Be+Fresh+Dental+Care+Solution-prod11070.html or the C.E.T. Toothpaste : http://www.1800petmeds.com/C.E.T.+Enzymatic+Toothpaste-prod10593.html
