Greenies
satisfy your dog's natural desire to chew. The consistency/ingredients
have been shown to help reduce odors, control dental tartar (calculus),
strengthen gums and diminish oral bacteria.
Some
chew products contain other inert materials which are not digestible.
All ingredients in Greenies the original smart-treat are highly
digestible and, except for the palatability enhancer, are used in human
food products.
Greenies
prevent buildup of dental calculus, are exceptionally palatable, highly
digestible and improve digestibility of other foods.
Dental
Calculus
A
leading dental research group found that giving dogs only one Greenies
daily almost totally prevented dental calculus accumulation. On a scale
of 0 for no calculus accumulation to 45 for heavy calculus buildup, the
dogs given one Greenies daily scored an average of 3.3 compared to 26
when Greenies were not given. Statistically, this is a highly
significant (<0.0001) decrease in calculus accumulation.
Greenies dental attributes were developed primarily as a maintenance
program for a dogs' teeth following cleaning by a veterinarian.
Palatability
A
study conducted by a leading nationally-know, highly respected,
independent third-party testing research kennel, proved that most dogs
prefer Greenies. When given a choice, 70% of dogs in the study
preferred Greenies to a leading commercial chew treat. All dogs - 100%
- preferred Greenies to a leading rawhide chew treat.
Digestibility
The
same nationally-know lab also found that in addition to Greenies being
highly digestible, feeding Greenies with other foods actually increases
digestibility of those foods. Their research showed a blend of just 10%
Greenies and 90% dry food increases protein digestibility in the food
from 78.1% to 85.5% - a 10% increase. Digestibility of fat, calories,
dry matter also increased. This ensures that your pet obtains maximum
nutrition from its diet; in fact, your dog can obtain the same level of
nutrition from less dry dog food when Greenies provided, so we
recommend that you decrease the amount of dog food provided by 5-10%.

Choose the Right Size Greenies for Your Dog:

Greenies®
Feeding Directions
Greenies® are
recommended for dogs over 6 months of age and over 10 pounds Feed the correct size Greenies®
for your dog’s weight 1-2 times daily as a treat. Greenies®
are not intended to be complete and balanced and therefore should not
constitute more than 25% of your dog’s diet. A greenish color
in the dog’s stool is a normal and harmless result of
consuming chlorophyll, a key ingredient and natural breath freshener.
As with any treat, always offer water after feeding.
CAUTION
As with any edible product, monitor your dog to
ensure the treat is adequately chewed.
Gulping any item can be harmful or even fatal to a dog.
