GNAWLERS HAPPY TUMMY DENTAL CHEW BERRIES TREAT (L)
Out of Stock
The Gnawlers Happy Tummy Berries Flavour Bone Treats is a cutting-edge functional dental chew by Gnawlers, a globally trusted premium pet treat brand, designed to address two of the most prevalent and interconnected challenges in canine wellness: poor dental hygiene and compromised digestive health. Formulated with a rich berry-infused flavor profile and crafted into an engaging bone shape, this daily dental chew delivers a dual-action benefit with every session actively reducing plaque and tartar accumulation on the tooth surface while simultaneously supporting a healthier, more settled gastrointestinal tract through a fiber-rich, easily digestible composition. Completely vegetarian, 100% natural, and entirely free from gluten, artificial colors, and artificial preservatives, this treat is a guilt-free, science-backed reward that serves your canine companion's health at every chew. Animeal is proud to offer Gnawlers Happy Tummy Berries Flavour Bone Treats to pet parents who understand that what goes into their dog's mouth matters as much as how often they brush.
Ingredients:
Berry-Derived Polyphenols and Anthocyanins Primary Bioactive Complex: The berries flavor infused into this formula delivers more than palatability it introduces a powerful class of bioactive phytochemicals. Anthocyanins, the deeply pigmented flavonoids responsible for the characteristic blue-red hues of berries such as blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) and cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), function as potent antioxidants at the cellular level. They neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) that would otherwise damage the lipid membranes of oral epithelial cells and periodontal tissue, thereby reducing the oxidative burden in the oral cavity. Of particular clinical relevance, cranberry-derived proanthocyanidins (PACs) and blueberry polyphenols have demonstrated the ability to inhibit the adherence of pathogenic oral bacteria notably Streptococcus mutans to tooth enamel and gingival tissue. By disrupting the biofilm formation that underpins dental plaque, these compounds address the root biological cause of tartar buildup and periodontal inflammation. Their anti-inflammatory effect further targets the NF-kB signaling pathway, downregulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, which are the primary mediators of gum inflammation and tissue destruction in periodontal disease.
Dietary Fiber Gastrointestinal Support Matrix: This formula is built on a fiber-rich compositional base that targets digestive regularity through both mechanical and prebiotic pathways. Soluble dietary fiber undergoes fermentation by beneficial colonic microbiota (primarily Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), yielding short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) particularly butyrate, propionate, and acetate that nourish colonocytes, reinforce the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and modulate the gut immune response. Insoluble fiber, meanwhile, adds bulk to intestinal contents and promotes healthy peristaltic movement, reducing transit time and the likelihood of constipation or loose stools. Together, these fiber fractions create a microenvironment in the colon that favors beneficial bacterial proliferation over pathogenic species, contributing to a more balanced and resilient gut microbiome with consistent daily use.
Vegetable Protein and Natural Binding Complex: The structural integrity of the bone-shaped chew is maintained through a plant-derived protein and natural binding matrix, which provides the firm yet digestible texture critical for effective mechanical dental action. As your canine companion gnaws against the bone's surface, this texture creates friction against the tooth enamel and along the gumline, physically disrupting nascent plaque biofilm before it mineralizes into calculus. This mechanical cleaning action complements the anti-adhesion activity of berry polyphenols, creating a comprehensive two-pronged approach to oral hygiene.
