There isn’t necessarily a minimum age for soft dental chews like Greenies. Some dogs can easily bite off large pieces of Greenies that could cause an obstruction, so you should monitor closely while he’s chewing. They also tend to have quite a few calories so it is not ideal to offer one too frequently.
