WHIMZEES - HELPING ALL DOGS
GAIN CHAMPIONSHIP SMILES!
It may be the month for Crufts, but it doesn’t mean only championship dogs can
display championship smiles!
W
himzees - the all natural daily
dental chew for dogs - has
been bringing a simple and
fun message around daily
dental care to its consumers
here in the UK via online platforms, with the
help of an entertaining video and interactive
campaign through its Facebook page - www.
facebook.com/WhimzeesUK
Caring for dogs’ teeth is the reason behind
every Whimzees dental chew produced, and
supporting this important message of canine
dental care is Whimzees’ Dr Danielle Bernal –
a global expert in pet healthcare with over a
decade of experience in veterinary medicine
specialising in animal nutrition. Dr Bernal is
over in the UK this month, visiting Crufts and
promoting good canine dental practice to
owners and pet stores alike.
“Canine dental disease is an epidemic in the
UK and the number one health issue affecting
all dogs. In the past 10 years alone there has
been a 23% increase in dental disease
seen in companion animals to now
impact 80% of adult dogs and 96% of
dogs over 12 years of age,” explains
Dr Bernal.
Yet despite these alarming statistics
showing the number of dogs suffering
dental issues, just 2% of dog owners
are actively caring for their dog’s teeth
by brushing on a daily basis.
Dr Bernal continues: “To you and I,
dogs with discoloured teeth, red or
inflamed gums or just even that ‘doggy
breath’ may seem a normal part of
being a dog; but in fact they are the
very real signs of tooth decay which
will be causing a pet unnecessary
discomfort.”
Dr Bernal explains how we should be caring
for our dogs’ teeth far more regularly, ideally
brushing their teeth at home as well as taking
them to the vets for dental check-ups: “With
today’s ever hectic lifestyle we are seeing more
and more that in order to have successful
at-home care for our dogs teeth, we need
to give owners a simple and easy - but also
scientifically proven - option to help them keep
their dogs teeth clean.

A dental chew like Whimzees can be that
perfect solution. Two Whimzees shapes – the
toothbrush and Brushzees - have received
accreditation from the Veterinary Oral Health
Council (VOHC) for their role in tartar reduction.
“It has been shown in numerous studies
that when given daily, these all natural dental
chews help reduce plaque and tartar build up
whilst promoting healthier gums and a fresher
breath than if that dog was just eating regular
dry food. These are the exact benefits that
can help minimise the occurrence of dental
disease,” says Dr Bernal.
But can you teach an old dog new tricks?
As dog owners, we may be worried that we
haven’t done the right thing by our dog’s teeth
this far; however the good news is that it is
never too late to start the right approach to
dental care for your pet and it doesn’t have to
be a daunting process.
“Making some simple changes, like offering
a daily Whimzees dental chew and booking
in your annual vet check-up to get your dog’s
teeth checked is the easiest way to
start your faithful friend on its way to
better dental health,” says Dr Bernal.
This month at Crufts, Dr Bernal
will be offering free dental check-
ups to dogs visiting the Whimzees
stand with their owners and
advising on how to get dogs’ teeth
to top condition.
“I am really excited to be meeting
UK dog owners and their animals
and helping them get daily dental
care right for their pets,” Dr Bernal
concludes.
Whimzees uses all-natural
ingredients, is low in fat and
calories and has no artificial
colours, flavours, preservatives, GMOs,
gluten, or meat. This means that Whimzees
is suitable for daily use for all dogs and
especially the sensitive ones. Best of all,
with a three times longer chewing time than
leading competitor dental chews, they also
make for three times more fun.
Make your switch to Whimzees daily dental
care for your dog.
