Kitty Tested: Greenies Dental Treats
I received Greenies dental treats for cats as a free sample from their website. I have been interested in introducing natural and organic products to me and the boyfriend’s life and after seeing their website, I realized that people aren’t the only ones who can get a little greener.
Greenies, like most companies, started off as most other great ideas do–Trying to find a solution to a problem–The problem being animals with bad breath. Greenies make their dog and cat treats with nothing but their health in mind and when they were put to the ultimate test by participating in a third party dental test, it showed that using Greenies dental treats and chews once a day resulted in a 69% reduction in tartar and a 10.5% reduction in plaque versus pets who ate the same food as they did all the time, but did not have the Greenies dental chews.
Greenies are also the makers of the Pill Pockets we posted about last month.
I received the feline dental treats in the ocean fish flavor and at first glance, I was a little put off by their color. I’m traditionally used to the Pounce cat treats with cute colors and even multi-colored snacks, but Greenies doesn’t use any artificial coloring or flavors and the color didn’t put my cat Devin off one bit, she loved them and even eats them up faster than she does the Pounce treats I’ve been giving her since I got her. In fact, Greenies are kitty tested and approved!

I’m going to try those out for my pets. It’s a great idea, and I would feel better knowing that I’m getting treats for them that benefit their dental health and rewarding them instead of just the latter.

I think also I will get some. I know at times my cat..Snowball has bad breath. He drools a lot and well it would be nice to have a better smelling breath!
Thanks for the share!

Thanks! I know dogs love them and I don’t know why I haven’t tried them for my cats. If only they could talk and ask for them. It is on my next pet shopping list.

Ok, I have to know if these treats really work. If it can help even the breath of my kitty then these treats might be worth a shot, but what is actually in them that promotes kitty cleaning of the teeth?

My cat is so fussy he won’t eat any treats except catnip. All the pets here are fussy. Would you believe the rabbit won’t eat carrots! Seriously he hates them but he loves peanuts and brussel sprout stalks

My Dog loves these Greenies.. But she’s a huge alsation so she only digs those bigger varieties, although I make her make all the tricks I can remember seeing on TV before letting her finish it.. An amazingly healthy and effective way to train your pets and to make them eat their greens as well..

Well, I usually only feed my two house cats dried food, it has generally done both of them good over their 5 years of life. However, it is bound to happen as my two cats get older and I am sure to keep this tip in mind, that is if they do not stick their noses up at them

I have always been taught that meat eaters like cats is not capable of digesting greenies properly and that their diet should not be based upon it – but I guess some small pieces wouldn’t disturb the cat, dog or whatever animal we are talking about

Growing your own organic catnip is easy. And you can make catnip tea for your and your boyfriend, too. It will relax you! Or, you can just buy it…I just love the gardening part. Be careful, once your cat tries organic…they get picky!
