Feline Greenies

Feline Greenies is one of the more popular dental treat choices among cat owners. As compared to it's counterparts, it is also has an ingredient which is responsible for actually scraping the plaque off of the teeth; aside from others which only prevent the build up of plaque. While Greenies does help to prevent the build up, it also effectively scraps it from the teeth in the event of an existing of a build up.

Greenies are specially formulated with rosemary to give off a nice smelling odor from your cat's mouth after he has eaten them. However, it should still be kept in mind that even rosemary cannot cover up the smell of horribly bad breath. When breath is excruciatingly horrid, it should be a sign of a more serious dental concern.

Oral Hygiene chews also have a natural antiseptic which is effective at slowing the build up of plaque and tarter, as well as giving off a nice odor in your cat's mouth.

The antiseptic is the key ingredient in these chews because it is one of the few dental treat products that actually fight bacteria in the mouth. This can help to keep harmful bacteria and infections of the mouth at bay.
