Dog Loves Treat
Sadie loves these chews. As soon as she comes in from doing her business outside she is ready for her chew. She gobbles this down. These have really helped her breath. Sadie and I would recommend this chew very highly.

WOW...
I have a fussy dog who turns her nose up to everything...but these Greenies...different scenero ..the minute I opened the bag she was interested. She was outside playing with the neighbors new 8 week old little puppy...when the UPS man dropped off the package...MiMi stopped playing, and grabbed the Greenie when I offered it to her!! The puppy came over to smell it........and ran home with one like it was candy!! Awesumn! I also love the Greenie pill pockets...again MiMi smells the pill, and turns her head away when I cover it with meat...the Greenie pill pockets are amazing! Than you so much for inventing them!

Easy to use product that works!
Jessie and our 3 other dogs love the Greenies Dental Chews. All 4 dogs weight 65 plus pounds and I order the small Greenies for them and they get one every night before bedtime. They recognize everything that I get from PetMeds and get very excited at what comes out of the white box! The prices are better than anything local and they are delivered to my front door! They sit in a row every night waiting for their Greenie!

Zephy adores all the treats I have bought from PetMeds, specially Greenies. But, If Greenies are supposed to help dental hygiene, how does they enhance my dog's dental health if he swallows everything I give him. I'll take Zephy to the Vet for tartar treatment, but still..., could it be a biting problem?
Thank you for your question Millie. Here are some of the benefits of giving your furry buddy Greenies: Bristles and Grooves: Wrap around teeth for greater surface contact as well as provide break points so bite sizes are safe and manageable. Brush head: Encourage dogs to manipulate the product in their mouth so more teeth get cleaned. Chewy Texture: Allows teeth to sink in all the way to the gums for more effective cleaning. Handle Valley: Guides a dog's mouth naturally to the brush head and provides an additional groove for teeth to fit into. Knuckle Ends: Provide break points to maximize digestibility and help dogs grip the treat with their paws for easier chewing.
Thank you for your question Oehmie, I would not recommend feeding Greenies on white carpeting due to possible staining from some of the natural ingredients.
Thank you for your question Jewel, Teenies are approximately 25 calories per treat, Petites are approximately 54 calories per treat and Regular approximately 90 calories per treat.
