Greenies Original Dental Treats

Greenies Original Dental Treats carry the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Accepted seal — the independent third-party certification that evaluates dental products for demonstrated efficacy in reducing tartar and plaque accumulation through controlled clinical trials. This certification distinguishes Greenies from the majority of dental treats that make plaque and tartar reduction claims without supporting clinical evidence, and it is the standard that veterinary dentists recommend when advising pet owners on choosing effective dental hygiene products. The chew’s highly soluble texture — noticeably different from rawhide and many competing dental treats that can remain partially intact in the stomach — ensures that swallowed portions are fully digested without the gastrointestinal obstruction risk that less soluble products pose. The mechanical cleaning action of Greenies works through the chew’s distinctive textured surface, which contacts tooth surfaces above and below the gum line as the dog chews, removing the biofilm and early tartar accumulation that daily brushing addresses in humans. The natural flavoring — derived from chicken liver and other palatable proteins — creates sufficient chew motivation in most dogs to sustain the extended chewing activity that produces mechanical cleaning benefit. Greenies contain no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, using a wheatgrass ingredient for natural breath freshening alongside the dental cleaning function. Available in multiple sizes matched to dog weight categories from teenie (5-15 lbs) through large (50-100 lbs). Daily use is recommended for maximum dental benefit.
