Press Release, Care for your Canine’s Smile Anytime, Anywhere with Pedigree Dentastix – the latest way to give your dog a healthy mouth.
Get your doggy’s dental health sorted this summer with PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ – the chews that care for your canine’s smile anytime, anywhere!
Dental disease is a common problem among our canine friends, with peridontal disease the main oral disease affecting dogs today. The disease is caused by plaque and calculus build-up, with bacteria also causing oral malodour – otherwise known as stinky dog breath!
Dental care chews such as PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ are a great-tasting addition to your dog’s daily oral health regime. With a patented X-shape design, PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ help to clean down to the gum line for up to 80 per cent tartar build-up reduction.
And with their handy, portable size, you can take PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ with you anytime, anywhere! Whether you’re a Paris Hilton whose pooch goes everywhere you do, or a Jessica Biel whose doggy gets fit hiking up hills, pop PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ in your handbag or backpack and you – and your pooch – are sorted!
Not only does an effective oral routine help to reduce the risk of dental disease, but studies also indicate that the bacteria associated with gum disease may also impact heart, kidney and liver health – making your dog’s oral health essential to their overall wellbeing.
Pedigree Marketing Manager Oliver Downs says that while toothbrushing is the recognised gold-standard method to reduce the risk of dental disease, associated care such as dental chews and regular check-ups are equally important to promoting good oral health for dogs.
“PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ are an excellent way for dog owners to start a preventative approach to oral care for their pets,” says Downs.
“As well as feeding their dogs oral care treats such as PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™, owners need to embark on daily toothbrushing, check for signs of gum disease and book regular check-ups at their local vet as part of their oral health care regime.”
PEDIGREE® DENTAStix™ (RRP $5.99 - 110g for small dogs, RRP $6.29 - 180g for medium dogs and RRP $6.49 - 270g for large dogs) are available in stores nationwide.
