We breed goldens. Our vet recommended these - they are no longer our vet!
They seemed great at the beginning, but soon noticed our adults throwing up a lot. We used these for giving them their rather tasteless vitamin pills (high quality and tested vitamins - so it wasn't the vitamins).
These quickly become stale and the packages soon loose half of the seal (like a zip-lock), increasing them drying out. Stupid us - we finally looked them up online for other complaints - hundreds on consumer affairs site(s), and others. Even greenies own site reviews have many, many 1 star reviews.
Apparently greenies is owned by Mars, which owns Nutro, and Nutro owns greenies. Do any of you remember Nutro's recall of ALL their dog foods a few years ago? H'mmmm.
Let's forget the stuff above though (hard to!). The price of these little "healthy treats".
Purchased two (2) 60 packs of the capsule chicken pill pockets in April 2017 for $7.97 and $9.74. In August they had a "special" for subscribe and save for 20% off the now roughly $11.50 price (in August). As of September 15, 2017 they are $16.99 ... MORE than DOUBLE of just a few months ago.
BUT, the main reason to stay clear of ALL of Greenies products are the MANY, MANY, MANY negative reviews and apparent causation of sickness of animals that are given these.
Buyer beware.

Update June 2016: the last bag seemed fine, but since then I encounter bags of mush.By just being Frank on April 26, 2016
So much for quality control, does not seem to be much in this department going for this company.
A nice product, little competition, but the end result is no longer worth it... cheaper and easier to wrap a tablet in a slice of deli meat and go from there.
My dogs, most of them seniors on meds or fosters on meds, have been taking their prescriptions willfully and regularly thanks to Pill Pockets. There's just something about them that my arctics (Malamutes and Siberians) love.
Pros: mushy, enabling most any kind of tablet, capsule or pill to be wadded up into a tasty treat and quickly consumed.
Cons: what used to be a bag of formed "pockets" has recently become a foil bag filled with with bits and pieces of what might have been, or should have been pockets. True, I can make up a mush-ball with meds inside, but my monthly supply (120 pockets for 2 jumbo Malamutes) is experiencing shortfall after piecing together pockets from parts.
Greenies, Inc needs to inspect their output and fix their Quality Control problems.
