TEWKSBURY, Mass., March 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- You know what they say about forming healthy habits: start them while you’re young! Taking that philosophy to heart, WHIMZEES™ all-natural daily dental chews is introducing its first two shapes for puppies to give dogs healthy smiles from puppyhood. Previously only available for adult dogs, WHIMZEES now makes something for every dog in the family, no matter their age or size.
WHIMZEES Puppy daily dental chews are uniquely made for new smiles, with a soft and gentle texture made specifically for developing teeth and gums and added calcium to support strong teeth and bones. And unlike competing products that are only suitable for puppies six months or older, WHIMZEES Puppy chews are made for puppies as young as three months old. They are also the only dental chew to be Non-GMO Project Verified.
The newest chews come in adorable duck and teddy bear shapes that pups and their parents will love. With unique ridges and grooves, the new shapes were designed to reach small spaces between puppy’s teeth, help ensure proper blood flow through gums, and help prevent plaque, tartar and bad breath.
“While we wish our puppies could stay young forever, they grow quickly, and it’s important we help support that growth early on to set the foundation for a happy and healthy life,” says Lauren Brecher, WHIMZEES Brand Manager. “Our new daily dental chews for puppies mean we can make proper dental care part of the routine earlier than ever – and of course have some fun in the process to evoke lots of tail wags and puppy kisses from our new furry family members!”
The release of puppy chews reinforces the brand’s encouragement of a daily dental routine for dogs. WHIMZEES invites pet parents to prioritize cleaning canine smiles and pick a time each day—dubbed WHIMZEES O’CLOCK — Time to Brush!
With entertaining videos of dogs chewing a WHIMZEES dental chew at the chime of a cuckoo clock, the brand aims to inspire more pet parents across the country to have some fun with their dog’s dental wellbeing and turn brushing into a habit.
Recent scientific studies show that WHIMZEES are 80 percent more effective in reducing plaque than leading competitors1 and have a three times longer chewing time for three times more fun. Using limited, all-natural ingredients, WHIMZEES provide “Triple Care Dental Health” by helping to reduce (1) tartar, (2) plaque, and (3) bad breath.
WHIMZEES Puppy shapes are available in two sizes, XS – S (available in a one month-supply bag of 30 chews) and M – L (available in a two-week supply bag of 14 chews), and are appropriate for puppies three months or older. The new shapes will be available at select pet specialty retailers, independent retailers and online. They will also be on showcase at this week’s Global Pet Expo in Orlando, FL at Booth 1475.
