Greenies
Greenies
Greenies (/ɡriːniːz/) are a brand of dental treats and supplements for pets, primarily dogs and cats. They are produced by the Nutro Company, a subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated.
Etymology
The term "Greenies" is derived from the green color of the treats, which is intended to be visually appealing to pets. The name is also a play on the term "goodies," implying that the treats are a desirable reward for pets.
Description
Greenies are designed to help improve the oral health of pets. They are formulated to help control plaque and tartar, freshen breath, and maintain healthier teeth and gums. The treats are made with natural ingredients and are nutritionally complete, providing a balanced diet for pets when fed in conjunction with regular meals.
Varieties
There are several varieties of Greenies available, including:
- Greenies Dental Chews: These are the original Greenies treats. They are shaped like a toothbrush to help clean pets' teeth as they chew.
- Greenies Pill Pockets: These are designed to make it easier for pet owners to give their pets medication. The treats have a built-in pocket for holding a pill, and the taste of the treat helps mask the taste of the medication.
- Greenies JointCare Treats: These treats are formulated with natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin to help support joint health in pets.
- Greenies Weight Management Treats: These are lower in calories and fat than the original Greenies treats, making them a good choice for pets that need to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
