“The reality is that many of us are all too familiar with, or
may even understand firsthand, what someone endures when they are
diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Glen S. Axelrod, President and
CEO of Nylabone® Products. “Ongoing support is essential, and furry
friends have a special gift for helping their pet parents when they
need it most. We offer this chew toy as a way for pups to show
their support for this meaningful cause.”
According to the World Cancer Research Fund, breast cancer is
the most common cancer in women worldwide. An estimated 1 in 8
women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. As
there is currently no known cure, early diagnosis is critical to
survival—which is why NBCF offers free, innovative programs to
women facing breast cancer so that no one goes through it
alone.
The USA-made pink chew toy comes in Nylabone’s iconic Souper
shape and is made of the brand’s toughest material. Designed to
challenge even the most extreme chewers, it has ridges and nubs
that help clean teeth as dogs chew while fighting boredom and
discouraging destructive chewing. In addition to its unique
textured surface, this long-lasting chew toy features delicious
chicken flavor throughout. It is recommended for dogs over 50
pounds and currently available for purchase at online
retailers.
Nylabone’s contribution supports Central Garden & Pet’s
Impact strategy, which is dedicated to making positive changes
through philanthropic work, focusing on community health, employee
well-being and sustainability. Nylabone’s partnership with NBCF is
just one component of Nylabone Cares, a donation program primarily
committed to helping dogs find and stay in their forever homes.
Through this initiative, Nylabone assists numerous shelters,
charities, and non-profit organizations by providing high-quality
donations and educating pet parents across the country.
