When Petros lost his first dog to canine oral disease, he was inspired to not let his rescued pit bull suffer the same fate. Watch his inspiring story and learn about the invention that might just revolutionize canine dental care.

Mocha with his Brushing Stick

When we met Petros, we were inspired by his story and his passion for canine dental care. Sadly, Petros’ story isn’t unique, as nearly 80% of dogs over the age of 5 suffer from some kind periodontal disease. Advanced cases of the disease can lead to organ failure and even death, especially in smaller breed dogs.

Inspired by his invention, we decided to make the Bright Bite Brushing Stick part of our Project Play™ collection. Not only will your purchase help the dental health of your own dog, but your purchase will provide a toy for a shelter dog in need!
