Greenies satisfy your dog's natural desire to chew. The consistency/ingredients have been shown to help reduce odors, control dental tartar (calculus), strengthen gums and diminish oral bacteria. Some chew products contain other inert materials which are not digestible. All ingredients in Greenies the original smart-treat are highly digestible and, except for the palatability enhancer, are used in human food products. Greenies prevent buildup of dental calculus, are exceptionally palatable, highly digestible and improve digestibility of other foods. Dental Calculus A leading dental research group found that giving dogs only one Greenies daily almost totally prevented dental calculus accumulation. On a scale of 0 for no calculus accumulation to 45 for heavy calculus buildup, the dogs given one Greenies daily scored an average of 3.3 compared to 26 when Greenies were not given. Statistically, this is a highly significant (<0.0001) decrease in calculus accumulation. Greenies dental attributes were developed primarily as a maintenance program for a dogs' teeth following cleaning by a veterinarian. Palatability A study conducted by a leading nationally-know, highly respected, independent third-party testing research kennel, proved that most dogs prefer Greenies. When given a choice, 70% of dogs in the study preferred Greenies to a leading commercial chew treat. All dogs - 100% - preferred Greenies to a leading rawhide chew treat. Digestibility The same nationally-know lab also found that in addition to Greenies being highly digestible, feeding Greenies with other foods actually increases digestibility of those foods. Their research showed a blend of just 10% Greenies and 90% dry food increases protein digestibility in the food from 78.1% to 85.5% - a 10% increase. Digestibility of fat, calories, dry matter also increased. This ensures that your pet obtains maximum nutrition from its diet; in fact, your dog can obtain the same level of nutrition from less dry dog food
