Greenies are a popular dental treat for dogs, but it's essential to check the ingredient list, especially if your dog has dietary sensitivities like a chicken allergy.
- Check the ingredient list on the package for any mention of chicken or chicken-derived ingredients.
- Be aware of any terms like "poultry," "animal by-products," or "flavorings" that could indicate the presence of chicken.
- Monitor your dog for signs of an allergic reaction, such as itching, vomiting, or diarrhea, after trying a new treat.
Understanding the ingredients in your dog's treats is crucial because even a small amount of an allergen can cause an adverse reaction in sensitive pets. Greenies typically vary in formulation, so assessing the specific product you have is crucial to ensure your dog's safety and health.
