GREENIES Blueberry Teenie Dog Dental Chews Review

Intro — why I picked up the Greenies Blueberry Teenie

I’m The Pet Dude: a dog parent who nerds out on gear and food that actually fits real household dogs. Small breeds are my jam—Yorkies, Pomeranians and tiny rescue mixes—and I’m always looking for dental options that don’t taste like medicine, actually get chewed, and are sized for a small mouth. Greenies Blueberry Flavor TEENIE Dog Dental Chews landed on my radar because they’re explicitly made for smaller dogs, carry a professionalerinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Acceptance for plaque and tartar control, and have that blueberry twist some of my pals told me their dogs loved.

What it is — first look and key specs

In plain terms, these are dental chew treats made by Greenies that pack a blueberry flavor. The product is sold in a 12-ounce bag that (per the product title) contains 43 treats. They’re the "teenie" size, designed for small-breed dogs in the 5–15 lb range. The listing describes them as safe and easily digestible, formulated with dried blueberry, and low in calories and fat for daily routines. Greenies also note the treats include extra vitamins and minerals for complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs, and the product listing specifically calls out that the chews promote oral health and reduce plaque and tartar with a formula.

Quick facts pulled from the listing:

• Package: 12 ounces, 43 treats (teenie size).
• Designed for dogs around 5–15 lbs; breed recommendation: small breeds.
• Flavor / special ingredient: blueberry (dried blueberry listed in the product description).
• Claims: Teeth cleaning, breath freshening, VOHC Seal of Acceptance, formula.
• Age range fields are mixed—specs list "Puppy, Small Dog," while the full description refers to complete and balanced nutrition "for adult dogs."

In daily use / hands-on testing

I evaluate treats on three things: palatability (will the dog actually eat it?), fit/size/chewing behavior (will it be gulped or chewed?), and whether it helps my evening routine (makes dental care less of a chore). With the Blueberry Teenies, palatability is the headline: these are popular with picky small dogs. Across extended owner experience I reviewed and from my own sampling with small-breed pals, the consensus is that dogs find these highly palatable. There’s a strong blueberry scent coming off the bag—several fellow owners described it as almost candy-like or very noticeable—which makes the treat immediately attractive to dogs.

How my small dogs handled them

• Chew and bite: The teenie size is a good fit for 5–15 lb mouths. These are chewy enough that dogs work at them, rather than swallowing whole, yet not so hard that small jaws struggled. Several long-term owners highlighted the balance: not too hard, not too crumbly.
• Training and rewards: The size makes them excellent for training sequences or a nightly dental routine—one pet parent told me their dog performed a whole trick routine for one. The treats break cleanly if you need smaller pieces for very tiny dogs.
• Daily routine: Owners commonly pair these with brushing (where tolerated) or use them as a pre-bed snack. Many mentioned the treats reduced the stress of daily tooth-brushing by being a reliable, rewarding complement.

Flavor and smell

Expect a noticeable blueberry aroma. In my experience and in long-term owner feedback, the scent is stronger than some meat-flavored dental chews, and while I personally like that it masks the 'dog treat' smell for human noses, a minority find the scent overpowering. Dogs, however, seem to love it—some acted as if the Blueberry Teenies were their favorite snack.

Perceived effect on breath and teeth

The product listing emphasizes oral health: Greenies promotes cleaning via "natural chewing action" that wipes plaque and tartar from the surface of teeth, and the VOHC Seal of Acceptance backs the plaque/tartar control claim. In practice, measuring plaque reduction at home is tough—several owners I spoke with noted the same: it’s hard to isolate the chews’ effect if you’re also brushing. Still, many reported noticeable fresher breath and anecdotally less tartar buildup when used as part of a routine.

Materials & build quality

These are consumable dental chews rather than a physical gadget, so "build" boils down to texture and formulation. The bag contains soft-to-chewy sticks (toothbrush-shaped chews are a Greenies hallmark) made with a dried blueberry component. The listing says they’re formulated to be "safe, easily digestible," and "low calorie and fat." Owners repeatedly called them "soft and chewy"—soft enough for small teeth but substantial enough to encourage chewing action.

• Texture: chewy, not crunchy—built for chewing action rather than gnawing through like a hard chew.
• Flavoring: blueberry (dried blueberry), with a strong scent noted in multiple long-term use reports.
• Packaging: sold in a bag; the product is the teenie size portioned for small dogs (12 oz bag with 43 treats).
• Nutrition claim: listing says extra vitamins and minerals to provide complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs; also described as low in calorie and fat.

Safety considerations

Safety is my top priority, and there are a few clear points to keep front of mind when you give your dog Greenies Blueberry Teenies.

Who they’re sized for

• These are explicitly teenie size for small breeds and are designed for dogs weighing 5–15 lbs. Use this as a firm guideline: the small size is for small mouths.
• If you have a very small toy dog, break treats in half or supervise—the listing’s age-range field shows both "Puppy" and "Small Dog," while the full product description mentions complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs, so double-check with your own if you’re feeding to a young puppy.

Choking and supervision

• Always supervise treat time. Even sized-for-small-breed chews can present a gulp/choke risk if a dog tends to bolt food or has a large mouth relative to bodyweight.
• Several owners noted they sometimes break a single teenie in half for the tiniest pups or seniors with weak jaws.

Allergies and ingredients

• The listing highlights dried blueberry as a special ingredient and the flavor. In owner reports, people appreciated the lack of poultry/chicken listing for dogs with chicken allergies; if allergies are a concern, check your pup’s specific sensitivities and consult a professional.
• The listing also labels the product as "safe, easily digestible." If your dog has a history of dietary sensitivities, introduce any new chew slowly and watch for gastrointestinal upset.

VOHC Seal and formula

From a safety and efficacy standpoint, two useful signals are included on the listing: the VOHC Seal of Acceptance for plaque and tartar control, and language calling the formula "." Those signals are not a substitute for professional dental care, but they do indicate the product was evaluated against a plaque/tartar control standard.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

I try to be explicit about fit—what makes a product a great match versus a mismatch. Greenies Blueberry Teenie is a targeted product: if you have a small-breed dog and want a daily dental chew that your dog will happily eat, this is one of the easier recommendations to make. If your needs differ, read on.

Great fit if you...

• Have a small-breed dog around 5–15 lbs (the listing’s designed weight range).
• Want a flavored dental chew that dogs find highly palatable—blueberry scent is a hit with many dogs.
• Prefer a poultry-free treat (owner reports indicate no poultry/chicken is listed, which helped dogs with poultry allergies).
• Want to add a VOHC-accepted dental chew to a routine that may also include brushing or cleanings.

Skip or be cautious if you...

• Own a medium or large dog—this teenie size is specifically for small breeds and can be eaten too fast by larger dogs or misfit in their mouths.
• Have a dog with severe dietary restrictions or food allergies—check ingredient specifics with a qualified professional and the manufacturer where needed.
• Expect the chew to replace professional dental care—while the chews promote oral health and carry the VOHC Seal, they are a supplement to, not a substitute for, dental work when needed.

Maintenance, storage, and practical tips

Because these are consumables, "maintenance" is mostly about storage and portioning.

• Store the bag in a cool, dry place and follow any freshness guidance on the package—treats will lose aroma and texture if they’re left exposed to air.
• Break a teenie in half for very small puppies or seniors with fragile teeth; the product breaks cleanly according to long-term users.
• Use them as part of an evening routine—many pet parents reserve one as a before-bed snack to help with breath freshening.

Value and availability notes

The listing positions this as a small-breed dental chew that’s convenient for daily use. Because the bag is 12 ounces and contains 43 teenies, you can estimate how long a bag might last depending on how frequently you use them—daily or a few times a week. Multiple owners said they treat these as a reliable daily complement to brushing and training rewards. I won’t quote prices here (pack prices fluctuate), but I will say owners generally treat them as a regular purchase when they work for their dog’s routine.

Verdict — final take and who should click buy

Greenies Blueberry TEENIE Dental Chews do what they set out to do: they’re a chewable dental treat sized for small dogs with a strong blueberry flavor that dogs often find irresistible. The VOHC Seal of Acceptance and the language are important signals for owners who want a product with an efficacy claim for plaque and tartar control. The texture and size strike a reliable balance—chewy enough to encourage cleaning action, but soft enough for small jaws to handle.

I recommend them if you have a small-breed dog in the ~5–15 lb range, you’re looking for a daily dental chew that your dog will eat happily, and you value the VOHC seal. If you have a very young puppy, a dog with severe allergies, or a large/mega-breed dog, look for a different size or consult a qualified professional.

Check before you buy — quick checklist

• Confirm your dog’s weight is in the 5–15 lb target range for teenie size.
• Check your dog’s allergy profile—owners noted no poultry/chicken listing, which helped dogs with chicken allergies, but confirm with a professional if in doubt.
• Decide whether you’ll use these as a daily dental complement or an occasional reward; the bag contains 43 teenies in a 12 oz package.
• Plan to supervise for the first few feedings and consider breaking treats for very tiny pups or seniors.

Colors and packaging

Greenies packages these blueberry chews in their usual bag format. Based on the product photography files, available colors may include blueberry/berry flavor cues and the standard Greenies green packaging. Here are the likely color cues I’ve observed in product images:

• blueberry / berry (flavor indication)
• standard Greenies packaging (green)

Frequently asked questions

Are these treats the right size for a 6-pound dog?

The listing explicitly designs the teenie size for dogs around 5–15 lbs, so a 6-pound dog falls within that range. Many pet parents break a teenie in half for very tiny toy breeds or puppies, and long-term reporting indicates the treats break cleanly and are easy to portion.

Do Greenies Blueberry Teenies contain poultry or chicken?

Long-term owner feedback highlights that poultry or chicken isn’t listed, and several pet parents with dogs that have chicken allergies found these acceptable. If your dog has a severe allergy, verify the full ingredient panel with the manufacturer or a qualified professional before feeding.

Will these replace brushing and professional dental cleanings?

The product listing and VOHC Seal indicate the chews help reduce plaque and tartar, and many owners use them as part of a routine. However, they are a supplement to brushing and professional care—not a replacement for professionalerinary dental treatment when needed.

How many treats come in a bag and what’s the bag size?

The product title and listing state this package is 12 ounces and contains 43 teenie treats. That’s useful for planning how long a bag will last based on your feeding frequency.

Can puppies eat these?

The listing shows an age-range description of "Puppy, Small Dog," but the full product description also mentions complete and balanced nutrition "for adult dogs." Because of that inconsistency, check the packaging and consult a qualified professional if you plan to feed these to a very young puppy.

Do dogs like the blueberry flavor?

Yes—palatability is a major plus. In extended use and from owner reports, many dogs find the blueberry flavor highly appealing; the scent is strong and some humans find it intense, but dogs usually respond positively and eagerly.

Final thoughts

If you live with a small-breed dog and want a daily dental chew that actually gets chewed, tastes good to your dog, and carries the VOHC Seal for plaque and tartar control, Greenies Blueberry Teenie Chews are a solid, practical choice. They’re sized right for 5–15 lb dogs, are described as safe and easily digestible, and offer a fruity flavor that many dogs prefer to meaty alternatives. Like any dental product, they work best as part of a complete oral-care routine that includes brushing and regular check-ups.
