(PRESS RELEASE) FRANKLIN, TN — Pet parents are closer to their pets than ever before, so they are no strangers to their dogs’ strong breath. However, they can become nose blind to it and that smell can be a sign of dental trouble. In fact, 80% of dogs develop dental issues by the age of 3*. That’s why GREENIES, the #1 dog and cat dental treat, has partnered with comedian and dog mom, Fortune Feimster, to launch a new challenge to playfully “Double Dog Dare” pet parents to sniff their dog’s breath.
By challenging pet parents to get up close and personal with their dog’s breath, GREENIES hopes to make pet parents more aware of their pets’ oral hygiene by educating them on early signs of dental issues and helping them feel confident that they are taking the right steps to stay on top of their dog’s dental health. Untreated dental problems can lead to pain, infections and broader health issues, which means regular monitoring and oral care routines, paired with veterinarian examinations, are crucial.
“I’ve always been a dog lover, whether it’s dog kisses or zoomies around the yard, they’ve got my whole heart. But even I’ve been guilty of dodging a stinky kiss or two,” said Fortune Feimster. “That’s why I loved teaming up with GREENIES for this pet parent challenge as it’s been equal parts fun and eye-opening.”
To make regular monitoring even easier, GREENIES recently launched their new AI-powered GREENIES Canine Dental Check, which gives you insights into your dog’s dental health—to discuss with your vet. Using advanced AI technology, Canine Dental Check evaluates the appearance of your dog’s teeth and gums from a photo you take at home. It’s an easy way to monitor your dog’s dental health and assess whether there are visual signs of potential problems to discuss with your veterinarian.
“As a category leader in oral health, the GREENIES brand strives to be pet parents’ partner in managing their pet’s dental health and that’s why we look to innovate beyond just our products,” said Jean-Paul Jansen, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Pet Nutrition North America. “Our GREENIES Canine Dental Check tool is designed to ease stress by helping pet parents understand if their pet has a potential dental issue and to know when to consult a vet. This is just the first in a series of digital tools from Mars, committed to pioneering technologies that empower pet parents to confidently care for their pets. Our aim is to put health monitoring tools into the hands of pet parents that enhance their lifelong, joy-filled bond together.”
With GREENIES Canine Dental Check and their line of dental health products for cats and dogs, GREENIES highlights the crucial role pet parents play in maintaining dental health for dogs and starting a healthy oral care routine. And when you add GREENIES Dental Treats to your pet’s daily routine, you can help improve dog dental hygiene to support their oral and overall health.
