So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
January 27, 2017
I have a Maltese/Shih Tzu who is about 15 pounds. If you have a small dog, then you probably know that they inevitably have teeth problems.
I had Timber's teeth cleaned at the vet in conjunction with his neuter surgery since he was already being put under. A few months later, long story short, he ended up with a broken jaw after rough-housing with my German Shepherd. He was on soft food for three months, and of course the tartar build-up came right back during that time.
After a check-up at the vets office, they tried to sell me teeth cleaning again. There was no way I was going to subject my little guy to being put under again (he was under for 3-1/2 hours for the jaw surgery, plus was under for the neuter and initial teeth cleaning a few months prior).
I decided to give these a try to see if they would help before doing anything more drastic and I couldn't believe the results after a couple of weeks. Nearly all the tartar was gone and his breath had improved temendously.
I really like these, because although the big ones I give to my German Shepherd are very hard (as they need to be), these "teenie" ones are just a little bit soft and perfect for my little dog - especially with the jaw injury.
One tip is to find the "add-on" version of these which actually saves you a lot of money if you're placing an order for other Amazon things. Definitely way more affordable than the big box pet stores.

Choking Hazard
July 1, 2018
There is a safety hazard with this product that I was unaware of. I purchased the correct sized treat, teenie, for my 9.4 lbs. Maltipoo. The treats are shaped like toothbrushes, and are hard. My dog almost choked to death when the treat got lodged in his throat. He was acting strangely, and it took me a few moments to figure out what was happening. Thankfully, I was able to dislodge the treat from his throat with my fingers, but I got bit in the process because he was in a state of panic. This could’ve also done damage to his throat. Imagine getting a toothbrush lodged down your throat... This was very upsetting to me and my dog. I will no longer be purchasing this product for any of my four pups.

I decided to get these for my dog because they were on sale and I it had pretty good reviews and someone had told me these were amongst the best treats of this kind. I previously had been buying her the Milk Bone Brushing Chews in "Fresh Breath" and while my dog loved them, I thought I would give these a shot because they came up cheaper than the same amount/servings for the Milk Bones. I regret it now because she doesn't seem to like them all that much. She will sniff them and then turn her nose up to them and doesn't get anywhere near as excited for them as the Milk Bones. When I do finally manage to get her to eat them, she chews them up much quicker than other treats that have the same function so I don't think they are as chewy as they claim. They also have done nothing to help her breath, which is really bad. I unfortunately missed the return cut-off day by one day because I had kept forgetting to try and return them. AND, they're now even more money than they were when I got them. I know a lot of people seem to like these for their dog, and maybe my dog is just picky with extra bad breathe, but I would recommend saving your money and going with a cheaper option.

Although I have not personally tried these greenies myself, I think I can confidently say my lhasa loved them. He normally gets the regular greenies but I opted for these to see if they would leave his mouth smelling a little fresher. They surprisingly did, not by a large margin but his mouth did smell slightly less dog-ish than usual, which I loved. They definitely come as advertised about the size of a mini sized candy bar (think snickers minis). Overall would probably purchase again.

I've used Greenies in the past and always wondered if they made a difference. Well, I recently moved, and in the move, could not locate our dogs Greenies. A few weeks went by and I really started to notice that her breath was getting pretty nasty.
We have paid to have her sedated and her teeth cleaned, so her teeth were not terrible, but I absolutely notice a difference when she is not eating her Greenies. They help with her breath, and her teeth do look cleaner.
So, why 4 stars? There are lots of treats out there that my dog will gobble up...but the only way we can get her to eat a Greenie is to make a game of it. I generally run around the house with it playing keep-away, then I toss it and run after it, making sure my dog gets to it first. That is the only way we have found that she will eat one. I wish Greenie could make a yummier treat that dogs will gobble up, but at least I can get my dog to eat them.

The product arrived on time and packaging in tact.
This is a personal preference, the product is loosing it's appeal. After using this product religiously for 5 years I can say I haven't seen a benefit in my pets oral care. They are very gummy, my Dierks loves them and he is extremely particular with is treats. There are too many pets hospitalized and enduring painful surgeries due to the product not fully digesting in the system. Simply research your product when it comes to your pet, you are their advocate.

This bag is a surprise when it arrives... those are really tiny little treats. But... we marveled yesterday at how huge a difference one of my dog's teeth made... His teeth seem to have turned all white. I don't know if it's these things are a miracle. I'm suspicious about miracles. But, the other little dog's teeth look much better too... so, maybe it is these things. Don't know what else it could be. If so, the results were shocking. They seem to love these as treats and they are disappointed that they can only have one a day. But sometimes those big brown begging eyes really get to momma and I can't resist giving them another. They are a bite for our 40lb dog... but he wants one too and if I offer him something else, he turns his nose up at me and looks pitiful till I relent. I think they're expensive and that'll slow down my buying too many, I have three dogs and I spend several hundred a month in other ways. So, I have to budget. But I am going to keep buying here until I find them cheaper somewhere else....

these were great. We had a huge German Shepard, but he was such a beauty and only a 1 /12 yrs. but very active. He could inhale those in one bite, and I could not even break the into. He loved them. we no longer have him for he just was to strong and big for my daughter and I to handle. The law officer had just lost his 13 yr. old one, and wanted him for training. We let them have him for we knew he would have the best of care always. They keep us up dated on how quick he is learning, and pictures.
I would recommend this product for any large dog owner.

My dogs love these.. this is my personal favorite (The Fresh) for helping to keep bad breath down.. Most other dental treats they can break up easily and swallow and I don't feel they do as good a job. These take even my serious chewer a few minutes to eat. I wish they would take longer to chew them up, but they are all pretty speedy.

My min pin and I start each day by me holding up the Greenies bag and saying, "Greenie Morning? Anyone want a Greenie?" He runs and gets excited like it's the first time he tried one even though we have beening doing Greenie mornings for 3 1/2 years. It won't clean your dogs teeth or take the place of a dental cleaning but it seems all dogs love them. My dog loves his Teeny Greenies.
