Greenies Pantry Treat-Pak Petite 50 Bones 30 oz — 

 

I know some people recommend this product as an aid to keep a good dental health for your dog. But "Please", be careful when giving these to your dogs; as Veterinary technician I have seen first hand some problems with this product.

For those furry guys that chew the whole piece, it works "OK" to keep their teeth relatively clean. But for those dogs that do not chew it thouroughly and like to swallow (some times really large pieces), this might be a potential hazard; a foreing  body obstruction (intestinal blockage) waiting to happen. Some times this condition will require exploratory surgery if the dog  can't pass this on its feces.

I believe this is an OK product that could be an aid for your dog's dental health. But use it "ONLY" under the direct supervision of the owner. As a general rule, ask your veterinarian before start using a new product for your dog. Also there are more less hazardous ways to keep a good dental health for your dog.
