Feline Greenies Adult Dental Care Savory Salmon Flavor Cat Treats
Verified Aug 22, 2026
A crunchy dental treat for adult cats, designed to help clean teeth and freshen breath while also functioning as a complete and balanced diet. It uses chicken meal as the main protein source with salmon meal for flavor, along with grains like wheat, rice, and corn gluten meal for additional nutrients and structure. This product can be used as a regular treat for most healthy adult cats, with calories low enough to fit into many cats’ daily intake when portions are controlled.

Top Pick
From a nutrition standpoint, these are more like a complete dry cat food in a treat shape, which is unusual and can be convenient if your cat eats a lot of them. The protein level is solid for an adult cat treat, and the ingredients include added taurine and a full vitamin-mineral mix to meet maintenance needs for adult cats. They’re best suited for generally healthy adult cats without chicken, wheat, or corn sensitivities, whose owners want a dental-focused crunchy snack that won’t unbalance the rest of the diet if used as directed.

Strengths
- Formulated to be complete and balanced for adult cats, so even relatively frequent treating will not unbalance their overall nutrient intake when fed as directed.
- Uses named animal protein sources (chicken meal and salmon meal) and provides a respectable 27% protein (as-fed) for an adult cat treat.
- Crunchy texture and designed shape can help mechanically clean teeth and support better breath compared with soft treats.
- Low calorie density per piece (about 1.4 calories per treat) makes portion control easier and helps limit excess calorie intake when fed according to directions.
Considerations
- Chicken meal is the primary protein, so this is not appropriate for cats with chicken allergies or sensitivities.
- Contains wheat, rice, and corn gluten meal, which are fine for most cats but may not suit those with known grain-related sensitivities (though true grain allergy is uncommon).
- Fat level is moderate at 12% (as-fed), which is fine for most cats but may need closer portion control in overweight or very sedentary cats.
- Because these are complete and balanced, large amounts could displace other foods; it’s important to stick to recommended treat quantities and adjust the main diet slightly for the extra calories.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.

02
Wheat
Wheat is a common cereal grain used in pet foods as a source of digestible carbohydrates, some plant-based protein, B vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, and it also helps with kibble texture and binding. It provides energy and fiber for many dogs but can cause food allergies or gluten sensitivities in a minority of pets and is generally less ideal as a primary ingredient for obligate carnivores like cats, so pets with known grain or wheat sensitivities should avoid it and calorie intake should be monitored to prevent weight gain.

03
Brewer's Rice
Brewer’s rice is a milling byproduct of rice processing made up of small broken white rice kernels commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible carbohydrate source, filler and binder that provides readily available energy for dogs and cats while contributing little protein, fat or fiber. It is generally gentle on the stomach and cost‑effective, but diets using it must supply other ingredients for essential nutrients; pet owners should note its relatively high glycemic load (relevant for weight or diabetic pets), the potential for trace environmental contaminants associated with rice, and not confuse it with brewer’s yeast.
04
Corn Gluten
Corn gluten (often listed as corn gluten meal) is a concentrated plant-based protein and kibble-binding ingredient commonly used in dry pet foods to boost protein content, energy density, and help with texture. It provides digestible protein for dogs but is relatively low in essential amino acids like lysine, is not an ideal sole protein source for obligate carnivores such as cats, and can be a sensitivity/allergen for some pets, so it’s best used alongside high-quality animal proteins and complementary ingredients.
05
Poultry Fat
Poultry fat is a concentrated animal fat commonly added to dog and cat foods to boost palatability, texture and caloric density while supplying essential omega‑6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid) and, in some cases, arachidonic acid important for cats. Because it is calorie‑dense and can oxidize during processing or storage, quality and preservation matter; overuse can contribute to weight gain and highly sensitive animals may rarely react to trace poultry proteins present in rendered fats.
