Hi! I have an 8 month old kitten and ive recently noticed that her breath stinks a bit and I want to take care of her dental health.So I recently tried the greenies treats to help to prevent any possible future plague or tartar build up. I tried to brush her teeth but that failed. Artemis didn't even want to try the chicken flavored toothpaste. Are greenies effective for dental health? what Would you recommend to maintain her dental health? Are water additives effective for dental heath?

Is it ok to give my 35lb dachshund-pitbull mix the petite greenies? Says intended for 5-15lb dogs. I got them as a gift when he was a puppy but obviously couldn’t give it to him then and he has not outgrown them!

My shih tzu has been biting at his paws and scratching. It seems worse today and I’m wondering if it’s the greenies treats. He’s very sensitive to foods and it took us awhile to find the right food, royal canin shih tzu line. Thanks

I bought my 4 month old puppy greenies not realizing I wasn’t supposed to give them to him until he was 6 months old so I never gave him any. Today he got the whole bag when I wasn’t home is he going to be ok?

I am trying to worm my cat (2 Drontal pills). I have tried to pill him (I can pill my other cat no problem), but he can fit the pill out the side of his mouth between his teeth, & those pills dissolve pretty quickly, so trying over & over dissolves the pills without getting in his system. I’ve tried crushing & mixing with wet cat food; he refuses to eat it. I’ve tried pill treats like Greenies, even with a few decoy Greenies first. He eats the treat & leaves the pill behind. Please, any tips?

Hi, Thatcher has been having diarrhea for the past 2-3 days. We stopped feeding her treats (her greenies and jerked) to see if that would help, but it hasn't. Her diarrhea has gotten worse, and it is now coupled with clear looking slime as well as regular diarrhea. She is a puppy still, and I know that these things happen, but since it's been over the span of several days I just wanted to see if maybe there was something that needed treatment.

I bought Sentry Petrodex toothpaste and my dog hates me trying to brush her teeth even with all of the suggestions provided to gradually introduce her to it.. However, she loves greenies and I put a little of the toothpaste on the greenie and she will eat the greenie and chew it good. I do this once daily. Her teeth have improved a lot. I only put about the tip of an index finger amount on the greenie. Is this a safe method since she is eating the toothpaste?

My 7 year old cat has no energy and seems to be getting weak. Eats and drinks well, elimination seems normal, but seems too skinny. I am worried that she is eating too much meat and not getting enough calcium, or that because there is some grain in Greenies, that she could have a reaction to them. She is moving so slow. I did notice a little congestion in chest or breathing, and has had brownish eye discharge. I want a Holistic Vet that uses Naturopathic remedies, not drug medicines. Advise me.

My 18 month old labradoodle has developed bad breath and buildup on the lingual surfaces of his teeth, which is red-ish/brown color. I assumed this was tartar build up from not brushing his teeth often enough. Upon researching some tartar removal options (such as greenies and raw hides), I read that dogs do not accumulate tartar/calculus buildup on the lingual surfaces. Should I be concerned about the dark-colored build up on my dog’s teeth?
