Greenies?? I'm a new yorkie mom so I'm not familar with "greenies" will someone explain to me what they are? |
They are just green chewies usually in the shape of a tooth brush. They are suppose to be really really good for the teeth. My dog is only 3#, so I cut them in half---that is the small ones. If I can't find the small ones, I cut them in thirds. They love them. You can get them at Wal-Mart or I'm sure a vet's office. Pat |
Just got back from the groomers where Higgins had a bath and Pogo had the works. They look sooooooo handsome, my boys. While we were there we bought a new supply of Greenies and some Royal Canin. They really love the Greenies and the groomer commented on how clean and nice Higgin's teeth were......so the Greenies WORK! I'll keep using them even though they are pricey, because Higgins will NOT stand for having his teeth brushed........ |
Glad to hear they work! One wonders when they buy these things if it is worth it. I will continue to give them to her besides brushing her teeth. SAnything to help the tarter! Pat |
The other thing that is really great about the greenies is that they keep Hercules occupied for a while. I too break them in half, and half of one will keep his attention for 1/2 hour to an hour. It's nice to have something to keep him busy instead of having to put him in the kennel when I need to get something done or what not. |
i want to try some, but they are soooooooo expensive, ........ do they selll them individualy? |
I get them at Petco. They are called something else besides greenies, but they are the same thing. They cost about 0.75 each. You might want to check them out. Cyndie and Trevor |
cool. thanks ill have to look into that......... 75 cents is much more affordable than $14 for 10 or so |
Wal-Mart sells them individually. They are bigger, but all you need do is cut them with a serated knife into smaller sizes. And they do keep them occupied for quite a little while! Pat |
Greenies I just tried those greenies for my 2 gurls, and they loved them. It kept them busy for about 1/2 hour, and they ate the whole thing! I gave them one a day now, for a few days. Is that okay? Or is it too much? Or can I give them more than that, since they love them? Money is not an object when it comes to my gurls. LOL! Thanks for all of the greenie help, guys. :p |
I'm not sure how much one should give them either. My dog weighs 3#, so i break the little ones in half. The big ones in thirds. I remember the Vet telling me when i give treats that a teaspoon full is a lot on a little dog. That especially during the first year,they needed to take most of their calories from the dog food. |
PetSmart aslo sells greenies that are "lose" in a bag that you can give them also. |
I've heard they help breath too ... is this true? |
Check ebay for good deals on greenies; we got a bag of 48 for about $16 + shipping!! I just read the back of the label and it suggests feeding 1-2 greenies a day as a treat. Ranger only gets 1-2 a week so they are more like his "special" treats :p. It is true that Greenies help freshen breath; they contain chlorophyll (hence the greenie) which is the breath freshener. |
I JUST tried one of these things with toby and it is like CAT NIP FOR DOGS!!!!..... he goes FRANTIC if the greenie leaves his SIGHT!! Too bad they are a little expensive, but i did find individual packaged ones at petco for 99 cents :p thanks to those of you that suggested these, i didnt actually believe they were all what you said until i gave one to toby! :) |
