As my dog reached age 6 and higher, his teeth were building up with tartar
I tried actually brushing my dogs teeth with a toothbrush but he didn't seem to like it
I considered getting him treats for teeth but are too expensive
And with another dog growing and starting to get tartar I had to do something because of the diseases they could get
I saw on Pinterest a recipe for dog greenies but the recipe asked for activated charcoal, ghee, and other ingredients I don't even know what they are
I looked for a different recipe because did not have or even heard of these ingredients
I saw a simple recipe and added more ingredients to it like apple cider vinegar (only a drop of it) and coconut oil
My dogs need apple cider vinegar because they have a few bald spots from the fleas and the vinegar also kills the fleas
I also added coconut oil because I read that it cleans teeth and leaves their fur shiny

Ingredients

1 cup flour

1 egg optional

1/4 cup parsley fresh or not

1/3 cup mint fresh

1/3 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

3 tbs coconut oil optional

1/4 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar optional

A little bit of ham for flavor if you are using water instead of broth

Pour the yogurt in a medium bowl with mashed or melted coconut oil
Mix and add in half the water or broth
Chop up the mint, parsley, mint , and ham
Add them in with the yogurt
Mix and add in half the cup of flour
After you have mixed the flour, add in all the water
Mix throughly and add in the last of the flour
Knead the dough
Make the treats into whatever shape you want
I prefer sticks
Since I wanted to make sticks, I added in a little more water to scoop it into a ziplock bag and cut a hole
I piped out sticks of dough on a greased sheet of wax paper and baked it for 20 minutes or until nice and crunchy
