Pet treats: what's actually in them?

Read first. Treats are for intermittent or supplemental feeding only — they are not a complete diet and should not replace a dog or cat's main food. Follow the pack's daily feeding guidance and size guidance (a treat sized for a large dog is not suitable for a small dog, and some dental treats are not for puppies under 4–6 months). This page records ingredient lists only and does not assess dental claims (including VOHC acceptance) or recommend any treat. For a pet with allergies, dental disease or a medical condition, speak to your veterinarian.

On the Singapore shelf, pet treats are dominated by dental sticks and chews (Pedigree Dentastix, Greenies, Whimzees, Purina Dentalife) and cat treats (Temptations, Whiskas Temptations, Feline Greenies, Ciao Churu). This page covers dog dental treats and cat dental treats where a list was retrieved. Dog food and cat food are separate categories.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick.

Pedigree Dentastix Daily Dental Chews — Large, 21s (UK listing, partial)

The two sticks in the pack (light brown chicken, dark brown beef) have different liver contents, stated separately. Dog, dental UK listing only — partial list

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Nutrition — composition as printed (guaranteed analysis)

Pet treats do not carry a human nutrition panel. Their composition is printed as a guaranteed analysis: minimum crude protein and crude fat, maximum crude fibre and moisture, plus ash and other guarantees where stated. All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g of product as printed (percentages), with energy in kcal ME/kg where printed. Human nutrition columns (sugars, sodium, saturated fat) do not apply to pet treats and are not shown — the guaranteed analysis is the composition, and no human panel is invented for it.

Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. Click a column header to sort the table; "not stated" always sorts last.

Per-serving figures (quoted exactly as printed, not converted): Greenies Original — 25 kcal ME/Treat (US retailer listing). Feline Greenies (AU FAQ) — approximately 15–16% crude fat; sodium within 0.3–0.9% (the average range for dry cat foods); total complex carbohydrate about 30%, predominantly starch. Per-serving rows are kept separate from the table above and are never sorted against it.

Observed numbers, no verdict: the two Greenies products are the only treats on this page with a retrieved guaranteed analysis — dog Greenies at 28% crude protein (min) and cat Greenies at 35% (min), both driven by wheat gluten and chicken meal respectively rather than by fresh meat. No Dentastix guaranteed analysis was retrieved in this pass.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no guaranteed-analysis panel was verified in this pass for any Dentastix variant, for Greenies Teenie, or for any product in seen-but-not-verified. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their composition figures are not estimated here.

How to read a pet treat label — the jargon, in plain English

Intermittent / supplemental feeding only
The treat is not a complete diet. It is meant as a small part of daily intake, on top of a complete food — the pack's feeding guidance states how many per day.
Sodium tripolyphosphate
The active dental ingredient in Dentastix: it binds calcium in saliva, reducing tartar formation. Its percentage (2.55% in the UK Daily) is stated because it is the functional ingredient.
VOHC Seal of Acceptance
The Veterinary Oral Health Council seal, awarded to products shown to reduce plaque or tartar in trials. Greenies carries it for plaque and tartar control; whether a specific local pack carries it must be checked on that pack — this page does not award or assume the seal.
Powdered cellulose
Refined wood-pulp fibre, used to give dental sticks their rigid, abrasive texture. It is a functional fibre, not a nutrient.
Glycerin / glycerine
A humectant that keeps treats soft and chewy. It is the second ingredient in Greenies Original and the third in Dentastix Mini.
Wheat gluten
The protein fraction of wheat. In Greenies it is the main protein source (hence 28% crude protein with no meat ingredient) and the binder that gives the treat its chewy, soluble texture.
Taurine (cat treats)
An amino acid cats cannot make enough of themselves, so it is added to cat food and treats. Feline Greenies guarantees a minimum of 0.1% taurine.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: US retailer listings (Southorn Agriculture, Shaws, Hy-Vee — Dentastix and Greenies lists and calorie content); UK retailer listings (Home Bargains — Dentastix Daily and Fresh); Australian retailer listings and Greenies Australia FAQ (Greenies Teenie, Feline Greenies AU list and guaranteed analysis); secondary review (Greenies Original guaranteed analysis — flagged as secondary). Cold Storage and FairPrice publish no pet-treat ingredient list on their product pages in this pass, so their shelves could not be panelled from their sites. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition: composition is the guaranteed analysis as printed (percentages, with energy in kcal ME/kg where printed); human nutrition columns do not apply and are not invented; per-serving figures are labelled as such and are not converted. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
