The Greenies Pill Pockets are full of wheat and corn. I'd avoid them. 
JD took about 10 pills per day and I always used mashed sweet potatoes; not to hide them, but to help them go down easier and not get stuck at the back of his tongue. 
Other "coatings" you can try are peanut butter, liverwurst (braunschweiger), or cream cheese.

Curious if greenies pill pockets are still okay to use. I’m currently just sticking pills in a little piece of sweet potato everyday. Looking for options.

I use them. I give a half to each dog in the evening do they do much good? I doubt it but the dogs love them. The rawhide is a ground up and hasn’t caused any problems.

Lol,  yeah I guess this is  a grooming discussion.  However, my dog eats the chews  and the toothpaste like food!!

My vet recommends them ( because she sells them) but I do not use them because they are rawhide.

Quite a few people use CET products for their dogs' dental health. Here are the results from a search I did:

Diane, we've had a LOT of discussions here about Life's Abundance. We do not eeommend it. It is sold through a multilevel marketing plan, otherwise known as a pyramid scheme, and this is why some breeders use it and recommend it. They make a LOT of money in commissions from the sales, especially when you use their link to order it. The food is made by Trilogy, which also makes Nu-Vet vitamins (same deal) and many breeders insist that you give those as well, to the point of extending their health warranties if you give the vitamins. I personally would run from such a breeder. NO normal healthy puppy needs any kind of vitamin supplement.
The food appears to be a run-of-the-mill food, which is way overpriced because of all the commissions (the company calls it "compensation structure", and we have posted the charts of all the layers of commissions that are paid: the breeder, her field representaive, etc). I personally would rather put my food buidget towards better ingrdients as opposed to sales commissions. Another problem with the food is the lack of transparency about the sourcing of the ingredients and the manufacturing of the food. The company refuses to give out information about these issues and of course, I will not recommend any food whose sourcing of ingredients I cannot verify. 
Unfortunately, you will have to buy at least two weeks worth of LA, because you must not change the pup's food for at least that long after he/she comes home. Whatever you do, do not sign up for autoship of the food. Others who have done so have found it almost impossible to cancel; the company is very aggressive in pursuing you. 
Buy the smallest size bag available and make sure it is done as a one-time purchase.

My breeder feeds her puppies and recommends Life’s Abundance dog  food. I know other breeder that use/recommend it as well. I did some quick research and it seemed to be a quality food but I completely trust the reviews/recommendations of Karen and other knowledgeable people in this group Any thoughts on Life’s Abudance?
