Would you dare to sniff your dog’s breath?
Comedian Fortune Feimster just dared you to, and there’s a good reason why.

It's a playful but powerful effort to raise awareness about the importance of canine dental care.

Studies show that 80% of dogs develop dental issues by the age of three, yet only 27% of dog-owning households purchase oral care treats.
That’s why the campaign challenges pet parents to get closer to the problem by literally sniffing their dog’s breath.
That funky smell could be a sign of something more serious.
“I’ve always been a dog lover, whether it’s dog kisses or zoomies around the yard, they’ve got my whole heart. But even I've been guilty of dodging a stinky kiss or two.”
“That's why I loved teaming up with GREENIES for this pet parent challenge as it’s been equal parts fun and eye-opening,” Feimster shared in a press release,
The campaign leans into a popular approach in pet marketing, using humor to spark real conversations about your fur babies' health.
GREENIES Rolls Out AI Health Check
As part of the campaign, GREENIES has introduced Canine Dental Check.
It's a free, AI-powered tool that analyzes photos of a dog’s teeth and gums to provide dental health insights that owners can discuss with their vet.
It’s a simple, at-home solution designed to take the guesswork out of spotting early signs of oral disease.
