Greenies were developed by Joe and Judy Roetheli when their dog suffered from “world-class bad breath.” These toothbrush-shaped chews help clean dogs’ teeth while also reducing plaque and tartar build-up, freshening up breath, and being easy to digest.
Greenies treats have caused some controversy because some veterinarians claim they don’t completely break down, potentially leading to blockages in a dog’s trachea, esophagus or intestine.

Gelatin
Gelatin is an inedible, colorless substance composed of broken-down collagen from animal parts like bones, skin, tissues and tendons. When mixed with water it forms a jelly-like consistency similar to Jell-O.
Gelatin forms the core ingredient in Greenies dental chews and lends them their signature chewiness. Together with wheat protein isolate, soy protein isolate and sodium caseinate, it lays down an easily digestible treat that’s enhanced with vitamins and minerals for an unparalleled experience!
Parsley is an herb with multiple health benefits that go far beyond garnish. These include relieving gas symptoms and aiding digestion. Plus it freshens breath while providing essential vitamins A and K!
One Greenies Original Dental Treat daily will do wonders to help maintain a dog’s teeth and breath health. Be sure to feed as directed, providing plenty of fresh drinking water at all times, and monitor them to make sure they chew each treat slowly without gulping down at once – this can be harmful or fatal for their wellbeing!
Glycerin
Glycerin (also referred to as glycerol) is an odorless and colorless viscous liquid produced either naturally or synthetically from sugar alcohols. Glycerin serves as a humectant, prevents crystallization of sugar crystals, adds softness, sweetness and texture to food and beverage products while adding bulk. Furthermore, some forms of glycerin may even act as sweeteners and alternatives to sugar for certain food and beverage products.
Greenies treats are made with non-toxic glycerin derived from plant oils like palm oil. Therefore, both dogs and humans alike are safe to consume them.

Small dogs need treats specifically tailored for them!

Incorporating easily digestible proteins makes these treats even more palatable to encourage chewing for dental health purposes – they’re safe enough for daily consumption!
