Nutro Products, Inc. announced today that its GREENIES products will now be offered exclusively through veterinary hospitals and pet specialty retailers. The products include canine GREENIES dental chews, FELINE GREENIES dental treats, GREENIES PILL POCKETS treats and GREENIES SMART BISCUIT treats.

“GREENIES products are recognized by veterinarians and other pet professionals as functional treats with a health benefit to dogs and cats,” said Carolyn Hanigan, Vice President of Marketing, Nutro Products, Inc. “According to several studies, nearly 75% of pets exhibit some stage of oral disease by age three. That’s why veterinarians recommend canine GREENIES® dental chews, which are clinically proven to reduce plaque and tartar build-up. Also, we believe that pet medical professionals at veterinary hospitals and well-trained, knowledgeable staff at pet specialty retailers and are best equipped to answer pet owners’ questions about our products, and to make the right recommendation.”

Hanigan added that professional recommendation is particularly important for canine GREENIES dental chews, as each of the five sizes is specially formulated to deliver the maximum dental benefit to each corresponding weight range.
