Greenies Reviews

Greenies made my Staffordshire Terrier's eyes and mouth blow up like a balloon. Her left eye was swollen shut. I gave her **. It helped a lot. My other male dog wouldn’t even touch them. Be careful. I gave her the Walmart version of Greenies and they were fine so there’s a hidden ingredient clearly that’s not listed. That picture is way better since I gave her ** but you can see her eyes swollen still.

Don’t buy them. They are not digestible so if your dog swallows too big of a chunk, it’ll get stuck in their intestines and they’ll die like my dog did. There’s plenty of other natural chews you can get that your dog won’t die from. They shouldn’t even be on the shelf.

Strongly recommend against following recs on bag due to constipation in my cat. I just spent over a thousand dollars at the vet for X-ray, pain meds, enema etc. The instructions say to give 18 treats per day for every 10 lbs. My cat was miserable, constipated and vomiting. Maybe give ONE per day.

My Mixed (65% chihuahua) breed dog loves these. It is her favorite part of her day. She has been having these once a day (ok sometimes twice lol) since she was 8 weeks old, she is now almost 7 and her teeth are amazing. Her breath is better than most people's. Her Vet is amazed that they have never had to clean her teeth. No issues whatsoever.

I bought Greenies after my son visited and offered one to my pup. I have never seen her so excited about treats before. I did talk to my vet about them and he said to make sure she chewed them well so there is no blockage. I decided to cut them into small pieces. A petite sized Greenies makes 6 small pieces. She gets only 2 at bedtime and she chews them well. I do recommend them.

This is just a warning to the consumer. Greenies are a good product, but not for all dogs. When you start to give Greenies for the first time, monitor your dog. I have a large Foxhound, and she started vomiting after eating one. I tried a couple of different times to make sure. It was the Greenies. Sure enough, it was.

If I could give negative zero stars I would. I have 3 small dogs. A chihuahua and 2 dachshunds. All of my dogs were fine before I started these treats. One of my dachshunds all of a sudden started having explosive bloody diarrhea and puking them up. I will NEVER feed them to my dogs again. I threw away a whole bag of these. He’s lethargic and won’t eat or hardly drink anything. I do not at all recommend these treats to your pets.

My 10 yr old Yorkie is extremely picky & has stomach issues. He has been getting a greenie when I leave home for years. He loves them and they don't upset his stomach, so I will continue purchasing them for him. I do wish they were cheaper!

Scheduled a tooth clean. Expensive so stopped feeding my dog Greenies chews. After a few days her teeth were snow white. Figured the greenies were making her teeth brownish yellow. Thought they were supposed to clean dogs teeth.. just the opposite. Happened.

I gave my dog a Greenies treat and he threw up a few hours later. The vomit was so green and it stained my sheets and mattress. I could not get this green dye out no matter how hard I scrubbed. Made me wonder how dangerous this dye/ingredient/chemical is for a dog's digestive system that I could not wash it out. I will not recommend at all nor will I ever use it.

Overpriced and turned my dog's poo green. Why do vets recommend them. Kick back, I guess. I won't be buying them ever again and will go back to Dentastix as my dog loves them and there are no side effects.

I noticed my cat vomiting after digesting Greenies approximately anywhere from 3 to 4 hours and along with that vomiting was hairballs. Was away on vacation. He wasn’t fed any Greenies and he wasn’t vomiting so I decided to stop feeding him Greenies due to causing upset stomach. I’m not saying that every time is going to have this type of side effect but my cat dead and I will feed it to him.

My little dog developed colitis from this. Shame on Greenies. I had my doubt that this was the cause of it. I stopped for a month and she is doing gradually better. Few hundred $ vet bill. Few sleepless nights bc she had diarrhea. And a damaged baby.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I purchased Greenie chicken cat treats to help keep his teeth tartar free. It took only three days to notice the hot spot/hair loss on his chest. As he has always eaten the same Weruva wet cat food and Taste of the Wild crunchies, I assumed the Greenies were the culprit, so I immediately stopped feeding him. Mind you, at this point, he consumed only 15 treats. The very next day, I was out of the home and came home with diarrhea all over my couch. He has further hair loss under his chin.

I bought a bag of Greenies for my 10 lb Yorkie. After a few days of giving him one a day he’s been throwing up and not eating. Whole bag in the trash. Don’t give them to your dog! I’m taking him to the vet in the morning.

I have been giving my cat feline Greenies for a week now and only now just realized that all of her sudden unusual bowel movements are 100% linked to these treats that I have been giving her!! She has been experiencing bad gas and diarrhea, which is highly unusual for her and has been very low energy. I highly discourage anyone from buying this garbage!! I am crossing my fingers that my poor cat will bounce back quickly from this.

DO NOT BUY! Our dog recently needed to take a lot of medication for seizures/Valley Fever and he hates pills so figured these would make all the pill-giving 2x/day easier... He even seemed excited to eat them. But within a day he started having horrible diarrhea, completely liquid and even with a little blood at times. Could tell he even felt sick during this period as well. Because he had just started other medications we thought it was that but after experimenting and removing the pill pockets, the GI upset went away within 2 days. Terrible product that makes animals sick when the whole point is be giving them medications, so they are likely already dealing with health issues. Greenies is a trash brand and also seeing horrible reviews on their dental sticks that harm dogs' throats and intestines means I will never buy their products again.

I had no idea how bad these are. I wasn’t too impressed with the ingredients to begin with, but was convinced by the claims for dental health etc. After 3 days my 9mo kitten got a UTI and started peeing blood. Currently at the emergency vet.

Feline Greenies Smartbites Chicken Flavor. I bought these for the first time Sat 2/18/23 and started giving a few to my cat a couple of times a day. She really liked them. She was healthy, no health issues. Mon 2/20 - Tue 2/21 she had no appetite and quit eating the Smartbites. I was thinking to take her to the Vet by Wed. And Wed 2/22/23 she died of lung and heart failure! She was healthy, perky, playful, had a good appetite before and up until about Mon 2/20. Died 2/22. Terrible loss. So sad.

My 10 yr old tabby female cat was diagnosed with pancreatitis last week. She is on wet food and only hairball supplements she gets are Greenies that she loves. Packaging says up to 18 treats per 10 day per 10 lb. cat. Not that I would ever feed that but she would get between 6-8 on occasion. All the ingredients say a “healthy treat”. Judging from all the comments formula needs to be investigated….

Ordered teeth-cleaning treats for cats. Received "TEENIES" for dogs. Emailed support immediately. Gmail informed me that "The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect," and continued failing for next two days. Went to their site for online support. It asked me my name three times before I found a way to get to real support. Person told me they'd get back to me immediately. That was four days ago, and they've disappeared since. Some type of weird scam site with ZERO SUPPORT. Would highly recommend against using this site for anything.

Bought the Greenies Peanut Butter Pill Pockets for my Belgian Malinois to give her meds. The smell was horrible upon opening the bag, did not smell at all like peanut butter, but I offered my dog one who just sniffed it at first, she then picked it up and immediately dropped it and would not even eat just the Greenies without the medication. Ended up throwing out the entire bag. So I do not recommend this product; the website I ordered from did not have a place for reviews (which I have recommended to them that they provide) since had I read reviews for this product prior, I would not have purchased.

Please do not buy this product. My cat died from having an obstruction and perforated intestine. She violently threw up and the greenies were 3x the size. Took to the vet after expensive treatments, I had to put her down. She was a healthy cat and I will truly miss her. DO NOT BUY, Had to give 1 star. It deserves millions of no's.

Gave my cats some Greenies after I got back from vacation. I’ll admit I probably gave them too many. One cat vomited soon after and the other vomited throughout the next day. It got to a point she was only vomiting saliva. She hasn’t eaten much today either. I saw the other reports on Greenies and felt it wound irresponsible not to share my experience.

I researched the best dental chews for dogs. Numerous sites rated greening their top choice. So about 5 years ago I changed my dog over to them. I am sorry to say they turned out to be the worst!!! I gradually notice she stopped chewing her toys and swallowed her food hole. Noticed the Greenies being so soft built up on her teeth cause severe plaque and tarter. Took her to the Vet today only to have all her teeth removed except 4. If I could get a lawyer pro bono I would sue for false advertising. If this has happened to my dog how many other have they ruined???

Purchased Feline Greenies dental treats in both chicken and catnip flavour. Gave our two cats about 4-6 each of the chicken flavour yesterday - they loved it. Great, supposed to be a healthy treat right. A few hours later our 9 month old had terrible diarrhea and he has been fairly lethargic and barely eating since and our 13 year old vomited. The only thing different was the greenies so I searched and found all the other reviews here. I am appalled to learn this is an ongoing issue that has made so many pets sick and in some cases resulted in their death! And they are still selling them! I'm furious that this company couldn't give a ** about our pet's health. Needless to say the greenies RUBBISH will be going in the bin where it belongs as it is not fit for consumption but I really hope that's the end of the issue for my cats and they recover quickly. :(.

I fed both my pups Greenies, and they’ve been having awful diarrhea the past 4 days. My pups were both totally healthy before and after 1 time of eating the treats, they’re just in bad shape. They threw up the first night, and the next morning, they both had uncontrollable diarrhea, loss of appetite, and are lethargic. Every night they both need to go out at 3am and 5am, and if I don’t take them out in time, they have accidents which NEVER happens. Please shy away from this product.

On 8/20/21, I bought a brand new bag of Peanut Butter Capsule Pill Pockets Greenies. I gave one to one dog and she had very explosive diarrhea and then vomited. She has been at the ER vet numerous times and had fecal tests, blood tests and X-rays. The X-rays revealed tons of gastritis in the intestines. She was placed on **, **, **, ** and nothing worked. I was getting ready to drive to a veterinary university hospital when I realized that It could be the Greenies. I looked online and found similar complaints. I called the vet and they agreed it finally was making sense. I strongly plead with the manufacturer to PLEASE investigate the issue.

Actually I had given one dog Greenies many times…but then we had bloody diarrhea. Then my other dog got bloody diarrhea. Several trips to the vet and significant $$$$ and I couldn’t figure out the cause. Started a process of elimination. I couldn’t imagine a product I had given before, that my vet sold at one time being the cause. When I eliminated the greenies the diarrhea stopped. I am pretty surprised with all of these very bad reviews the product is still on the market. I hope this helps get a response from the company.

8 days ago my cat urinated in my bed twice in the middle of the night. The night before I fed him a Greenies treat while going to bed. I bought the treats two months prior for the first time and had been infrequently giving them to him. I took him to the vet and dropped him off for the day until they could get urine. Everything came back normal, except that his urine was dilute. The vet mentioned Kidney Failure being a possibility, and I requested blood work to be done. He came back with all the classic values of Kidney Failure.

I got a bag of these for hairball control. I had never tried them before. A week later I gave her 4 treats in the morning and she threw them up. Then in the afternoon she started throwing up a green liquid and foam all night long for about 12 hours and was very sick. It was like she had been poisoned and there was nothing else she could have gotten into. She got sick at least ten or more times. I had to take her to the emergency vet hospital. They did blood work on her and the only thing wrong was her blood sugar was a little high due to the stress. They gave her fluids Intravenously as she was severely dehydrated and anti nausea medication. They gave her pills for the nausea and an appetite stimulant to take home. Cost me $430.

I have been using GREENIES Grain free now for two weeks and my dog is now so sick he has bloody diarrhea and is suffering so much all he does is drink water and poop.. I will NEVER use this product EVER.. How can this make him so ill, I am taking him to the vet today. I hope he will survive as he is so young.. Please consider your pet's life should you buy this stuff.. I love my dog so much..

I reached out twice already in two years to let Greenies know as a loyal long time customer how I loved their products even when I had a bad stale batch purchased from my local state brothers market. I went out of my way to try a different batch from my local Target which were more fresh! My dogs love it so now I shop there for chews. But, their customer service rep end did not compensate or coupon or help in any way to alleviate the situation. Coming from 10 years in customer service I couldn’t believe this is how they treat their customers with a complaint and compliment for loyalty. Truly disappointed!

Even though I’m horrified to read about all the horror stories of cats dying and dogs getting sick, I honestly can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience with this company or its products. In August of 2019, I adopted Dakota who is the absolute light of my life. As a new pet owner, it was a constant trial and error with finding an appropriate dog food right down to healthy supplements and treats. I loved the ingredients list for Greenies dental treats and Dakota has never had any trouble with it.

On Jan. 13, 2021 Greenies treats were delivered to me from Chewy.com. I got them for my middle-aged cat because she liked canned food, had some bad breath, and I wanted her to eat something that would benefit her dental health. I wanted her to eat more dry food as well and give her treats for being a good kitty. I would give her 5 to 8 morsels at night to make her happy. If I didn't give her the treats she would keep meowing and I couldn't sleep at night. In the morning I would find the morsels mostly chewed up with some residual.

My 2 yr old cat has been eating Greenies for almost a year and he loves them. BUT recently I had bought 2 lg bags from one of the big box stores and I had a small bag from the local grocery store. large bags were salmon flavor and catnip flavor dental treats and the small bag was also salmon flavor dental treats. All bags had more than a year before expiry date. I gave my cat some of one of the lg bags and he threw up 20min later. I didn't think it was the treats as he had not reacted to them like this before so next day I gave him some of same bag and he threw up again within 20 min. So the following day I opened the other big bag and gave him figuring it may be one bad bag and he threw up again! So then next day I gave him some from the small bag I had got at the grocery store and he threw those up also within 20 min!!! That's 3 different bags from 2 different stores!!!

Hello,

My dog started having full body seizures out of nowhere. I was feeding her Greenies dental bones, for her teeth, for about 5-6 months total. She had no issues with them until about 2-3 months into me feeding them to her. But I had no idea that these were the cause. I took her to the vet numerous times trying to find out what was wrong with her. They never figured it out, they only gave me epilepsy medication that made her hungry all the time.

Our 6 lb pomchi and 11 lb are both sick after just 1 serving. Gave it to them yesterday noon and next day the Pomchi hasn’t eaten all day, you can hear her stomach is upset and she has been lethargic and sleeping whole time. The pomeranian ate today but has constant diarrhea and his stomach is churning. These dogs are both 3 yrs old and rarely have dietary issues. The Greenies are in the garbage where they belong.

This happened a couple of years ago but at the time I didn't write a review: I purchased Greenies off of Amazon because I wanted to be a better dog mom and take care of my corgi/ dachshund mixes bad breath and dental care. I never paid attention to my dog's stools as we had a large forested yard and because he is a private sort of fellow. However...maybe 3 or 4 days in after starting giving him Greenies I came home from work and... my dog did not meet me at the door. Instead I called out to him and he slowly and shakily made his way from another room. I knew he was sick. I picked him up... he yelped. He whimpered. Completely lethargic.
