Greenies?
Hi
Does anyone know of a product similar to "Feline Greenies" that is available in a larger size? Bubba loves them, and I like giving him the occasional treat, especially one that will help keep the fangs clean, but they seem to be too small for him. Dainty feeder that he is, he gobbles them down without chewing them... I solved this problem with his food by switching to Royal Canin Maine Coon formula which has large enough kibbles that he *can't* swallow them without first chewing them. TIA |

I would stay away from Greenies. The product caused serious problems for
dogs. I know, apparently not for cats. (so far as we know) Barb |

As you've already discovered, treats are usually swallowed whole and don't have any benefit to their teeth anyway. A better bet is to brush his teeth with pet toothpaste (not human toothpaste) or feed a raw diet. The enzymes help keep the teeth clean. (I know this from experience--since I've switched to raw, my one cat's teeth, formerly prone to tartar, are staying cleaner longer than with canned or dry.) |
