Bow Wow Labs Highlights Chew Innovation for National Pet Dental Health Month

The majority of pet parents don’t brush their dogs’ teeth, making this February’s National Pet Dental Health Month a good time to remember other canine oral care options. Bow Wow Labs reminds pet parents that one of the easiest, most natural ways to ensure a dog’s teeth and gums stay healthy is to encourage safe chewing. Using a veterinarian-approved safety device like the Bow Wow Buddy allows dogs to enjoy long-term chews while increasing saliva production, which helps clear food particles and bacteria. Chewing also stimulates blood flow to the gums, supports healthier tissue and mimics a natural brushing effect to reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

Daily, supervised 10-minute chewing sessions with a firm SafeFit chew like a bully or collagen stick (allowing two to three sticks to last throughout the week) supports optimal dental health. Safety should be a top priority when offering a dog any chew. Accidental choking is possible as the treat becomes smaller, and it’s a problem that a reliable safety device can help solve.

“Our Bow Wow Buddy is the first-of-its-kind safety device that lets dogs safely chew their favorite treats, keeping their teeth and gums healthy,” said Bow Wow Labs President, Brian O’Neil. “A natural behavior for dogs, chewing also provides other health benefits like redirecting nervous energy and mental stimulation.”

Bow Wow Labs created the Bow Wow Buddy, the original chew stick safety device, to help prevent choking and to make treat time worry-free. As the first product of its kind, Bow Wow Buddy sets the standard for pet chewing safety, giving dogs a secure way to naturally brush their teeth and pet owners peace of mind.
