Are these okay to give a Pekingese? She has such tiny teeth I'm afraid she will just swallow whole pieces.

I feed the weight management teenie greenies to my Chihuahua and Chia-Pom. They have small teeth, and do well with these. They wait every day when we get home from work by the greenie jar!

There are mini sized (petite) and they are ok for Pekinese. My sister has two tea cup poodles and these are what she gives her dogs. It's always good to check with your vet, but my vet recommended the regular size to me for my australian shepherd.

It is hard to know how your dog will do with these but they do come in smaller sizes. I have a rescue with many missing teeth and she just loves her Greenies.

Yes, our GREENIES® dental chews can be fed to a Pekingese. Please choose the right size depending on the weight of your dog. We recommend the TEENIE® Treats for dogs 5-15 pounds and the Petite Treats for dogs 15-25 pounds. Our dental chews are not suitable for dogs less than 5 lbs. or dogs less than 6 months of age.

hi, i just got these from the vet. my mini doxie just had her canine teeth pulled in december, and yes, she still eats these treats. she also has had 6 other teeth taken out, so, somehow, she can still work on these. the vet, highly recommended them. i have three dogs (10 yr old terrier, 8 yr old doxie and a puppy), they all trade off on these treats. the doxie usually will take the treat after it is worked on by the other dogs, but she does chew them.

I wouldn't chew them, but that's just me. My suggestion would be to get a pill splitter and split them. I bought a good one from Amazon and use it to split vitamins and my diabetic med pills which are large. Maybe this would work for you!

They vary in size and thickness. Some are about an 1/8" thick and some are a bit more than 1/4". None have been thicker than that. If your dog is fairly small (we have miniature beagles) they will be able to chew these. They might not last too long with larger breeds but it helps with massaging their gums. I hope this answers your question.

I think so. My dog needs a bit of coaxing to start chewing on these. But once she starts she finishes it!

Yes I would think they would be fine. Bully sticks soften up as a dog chews on them. My dogs eventually eat the whole stick. I would just make sure that, since your dog is a puppy, you really monitor him/her closely as they are chewing the bully stick.

I'm probably not the best one to answer this question, because my dog is not really the least bit picky. I can tell you that with most medication type things I have to wrap them in cheese or put them in a spoonful of peanut butter to get her to swallow them down, but with these, I open the bottle, drop 2 on the ground and she swoops in and chows down. She thinks they are a treat just like her Meaty Bones or Beggin' Strips!

I'm not sure what you mean by enough. These are snacks--given as a treat, not to be used as a meal. These snacks are larger than you'd give such a small dog, so you may want to break them into little pieces. My dogs weigh 50-60 lbs and this is a favorite treat!

I give these tablets (Adenosyl 425) to my dog daily, but as a whole pill. The pills are coated so they are designed to be swallowed whole. I can see why you would asked that question as these pills are solid and I do not see why they could not be chewed. It would only matter to the dog I think as to the taste of the pill.

They are not small nor large.... More middle size... I think they would be fine for a smaller dog. I have labs and my dogs love this food.... If anything, the size is too small for a bigger dog, but they can eat any size.

It all depends on your dog's eating habits. The petite are 3.5" x 1". I give them to my 80 lb chow boy, my 40 chow girl and my 29 lb puppy. They are not brittle; they are more of a soft chew and pieces chunk off (if you will). Total consumption time is not long. My dogs are not gulpers so I am not concerned about choking. But if yours is, observation time during consumption will likely be less than 3 minutes. There is a noticeable difference is in their dentals. Since they receive plain pumpkin for fiber their teeth become stained. This keeps them pearly white. Good luck.

If your little shih tsu has any trouble chewing then I wouldn't get them as they are fairly hard. If not then they are fine. My older cockapoo who was twelve didn't chew them at all but my younger four year old cockapoo liked them and had no trouble.Hope this helps you to decide.

No, they are hard and crunchy (they are hard to the touch and sound crunchy when she's eating them), which is probably one way they clean the teeth. There are some soft treats out there but not Greenies.

They're actually small, less than an inch. I have a bigger dog that I give it to her before I feed her twice a day and she swallows it without even chewing. No issue with size or taste from her!

I don't think any of these are small enough to swallow, but I would check the website and make sure. I forget what the age limit was, but I have seen and played with the toys, lol, with my grandson, and they do not seem small enough to fit in their mouths. The long ones are small in circumference, but are too long to be easily swallowed. Hope this helps!

The chewable tablets are scored down the middle so you can snap them in half. I would use 1 and 1/2 tab. At first, my dog wouldn't eat them, but now he loves them - like a treat. If you have the non-chewable pills, get a pill splitter. If this dosage doesn't seem to be enough, then up it to 2. . Hope this helps!

I don't believe so. You might have to check with companies customer service. I have small children and dogs that have chewed them and haven't had any problems. Again, I would check with the company.
