Grain-free for my allergy prone dogs

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2016

I have been feeding my little dogs Greenies since I got them, 1-14 yo Yorkie and 2 Pugs- 1-13 yo and 1-1yo. I stand behind the Greenies name as a loyal customer because they did what they said they would-keep my dogs' teeth clean. Even at 5 and 6 yo, they had NO tartar on their teeth and that's with infrequent brushing (I hate to admit). When the Greenie "scare" came about I wasn't even concerned because I had never had any problems feeding them. I only stopped giving them when my older Pug developed hot spots and rashes. Since I didn't know the source, I researched and found that she probably had an allergy to grains. After I eliminated all grains, she was healed. Greenies weren't grain-free yet so I didn't give them for a couple years. That's when their teeth got tartar (the two older dogs). :( Imagine my happiness when Greenies became grain-free! Ever since they were launched, I've been giving them to my dogs daily. They're more expensive but so worth it. My dogs treat them like they are canine crack, that's how much they're addicted!

Got him home and he's been fine a few the last 2 days

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

$900.00 later we will never give our Yorkshire Poodle a greenie again. This caused him massive vomiting and diahrea for 3 days. Didn't know what was causing it until later. Fed him a greenie Friday night and later that night he was yakking all night long. Then wouldn't eat the next day and had to be put on IV's and did blood tests to figure out what was going on. Got him home later the next day and while he still wasn't feeling well, he finally started to eat, but had massive lava diahrea. Took him back in to the vet and had IV's for 24 hours and antibiotics to help settle him down. Got him home and he's been fine a few the last 2 days, until last night we fed him a greenie (not knowing at the time) and when we got back from dinner noticed he vomited again. Did some searching and if you search Can dogs vomit from eating greenies, you'll see a huge forum at consumer affairs with many people having the same experiences.

$20 box cost us $900. Won't buy again.

Used to be great, now awful. - UPDATE

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018

Size: 96 TreatsVerified Purchase

UPDATE: These seem to be back to normal? I'm not sure what was going on with them for a while - see original review below - but I caved and got them again (because my dogs just don't like anything else) and the bad odor is gone and they're not arriving as hard as rocks anymore. I still soften them up by putting a damp paper towel in their container when I get them, but that is actually working again.

Original review:
These used to be wonderful. My dogs are addicted to them. I’ve had a subscribe and save standing order of two boxes per month for years. For the last two months, both boxes have arrived with all the greenies hard as rocks and smelling bad. I can’t give them to my dogs anymore! Canceling my subscribe and save and going to look for an alternative product.

My yorkies love this - doesn't really clean teeth

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020

My yorkies look forward to bedtime every night because of these treats! However, they've recently developed a bad case of smelly breath so I've been splitting one treat into a couple pieces to feed throughout the day (for more cleaning action but similar food intake!). It hasn't been too effective in reducing their smelly breath and so I'll look into other options.

Dogs love this - Greenies cost too much

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020

These do work to clean & whiten teeth.
The cost is prohibitive. I just started making my own using recipes on YouTube. Even more effective and the dogs like them even more. I checked the ingredients for Greenies, and the homemade ones seem much more healthy . What really irritates me is that Amazon keeps changing the price.

Grain-free Greenies

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020

Size: 96 TreatsVerified Purchase

I have two Greenie-addicted Papillons. I purchased the Grain-free as they were much less expensive than the usual Teenie-Greenies. They definitely have a different scent, but otherwise look the same. My dogs eat them but don't get excited over them the way the do the regular ones.

Not the best flavor Greenies

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019

Size: 96 TreatsVerified Purchase

I ordered these because it was a bigger box, I usually get the weight management but it has half as many and I have 5 small dogs . They dont like this flavor and they love the other so I'm going back to those. Greenies are great this flavor isn't.

My picky dog hates these. I wish she would ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017

Size: 43 TreatsVerified Purchase

My picky dog hates these. I wish she would eat them but instead she shoves them all over the floor with her nose until she reaches the trash can where she will wait until I pick it up off the floor and throw it in the trash. This little trick she taught herself and I was very impressed but not with the Greenies.
