What does Natural mean for GREENIES™

As loving pet owners ourselves, the health and well-being of our pets is always our top priority. That’s why we make all GREENIES™ Dental Treats with delicious, healthy ingredients that are easy to digest and help promote overall pet health. As the popularity of natural pet food continues to grow, more and more pet food manufacturers are putting the term “natural” on their product labels. We understand that there is often confusion about what the term actually means for pet food products like GREENIES™ Dental Treats.

GREENIES™ Dental Treats adheres to the guidelines set forth by Association of American Feed Control Officials(AAFCO). AAFCO guidelines are the leading standards in the pet food industry for product claims.

AAFCO defines “natural” as ingredients “derived from plant, animal or mined, unprocessed or subject to physical, heat, rendering, purification, extraction, hydrolysis, enzymolysis or fermentation, but not subjected to chemically synthetic process.”

Just like any food, it is important that your pet’s food, including treats, is balanced to meet his or her nutritional needs. That’s why GREENIES™ Dental Treats are made with natural ingredients plus added supplements such as vitamins, minerals and nutrients which may not be found naturally, but are safe and necessary for your pet’s growth and overall health.
