(PRESS RELEASE) AZUSA, CA – February is National Pet Dental Health Month, which focuses on the importance of taking care of our pets’ teeth and gums. Eighty percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats have some form of periodontal disease by the age of 3, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

Not only can this be painful, but if left untreated the bacteria from periodontal disease can spread to major organs such as the heart and kidneys, causing serious health problems. A good program of oral hygiene that includes regular toothbrushing and annual veterinary dental checkups can help prevent periodontal disease.

Pet parents now have a new, “sweeter” way to give their dog the at-home oral care she needs – with EcoBath Manuka Honey pet dental products from Cardinal Pet Care. An eco-friendly, nature-based approach to caring for pets’ teeth and gums, the EcoBath line includes a Tooth Gel and a Dental Water Additive, both made with Natural Manuka Honey from New Zealand.

A popular ingredient in human personal care products, Manuka Honey is known for its remarkable natural healing and antibacterial properties. In EcoBath dental products, Manuka Honey helps heal and soothe the gums. Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) – another part of the exclusive Honey Hygiene formula found in EcoBath products – gently cleans the teeth, while other ingredients freshen the breath naturally.

EcoBath Tooth Gel offers the added benefit of hardening the teeth and helping to rebuild tooth enamel. EcoBath Dental Water Additive, when added to a dog or cat’s regular water bowl, will reduce harmful bacteria, resulting in a cleaner, fresher mouth. Additionally, EcoBath Dental Water Additive contains electrolytes to rehydrate and glucosamine to promote joint health.

EcoBath Manuka Honey Tooth Gel is available in a package that includes a 2-oz. tube of tooth gel and a pet finger toothbrush at a suggested retail price of $12.99. EcoBath Dental Water Additive is packaged in a 17-oz. bottle at a suggested retail price of $12.99.

All EcoBath Manuka Honey products are made in Cardinal Pet Care’s solar-powered California facility.

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
