Nylabone, an industry-leading creator of innovative dog chew
toys, chew treats, and dental solutions for more than 60 years, has
partnered with National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.® (NBCF) to
offer a custom-made Power Chew Souper chew toy in pink—the
universal color for breast cancer awareness. For every one of these
chew toys purchased, $1 will be donated to NBCF to aid in their
mission to provide help and inspire hope to those affected by
breast cancer.
Scheduled to hit online retailers October 1st, 2019—the first
day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month—the extra-large pink Nylabone®
Souper will give both people and dogs an opportunity to show their
support. Dogs have an innate ability for showing their pet parents
unconditional love when they need it most, and this chew toy
provides them an outlet to do the same for those impacted by breast
cancer. The Nylabone tagline “Together, we ‘chews’ hope” emphasizes
the brand’s commitment to joining every hand and paw in the effort
to promote breast cancer awareness.
“When somebody is diagnosed with breast cancer, life changes—not
only for the individual, but also for everyone who cares about
them,” said Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of Nylabone
Products. “The support from family members, pets, and everyone else
who joins the cause makes a huge difference. That’s why we’re
honored to provide a way for dogs and people to show their support
together and remind breast cancer patients they’re not alone.”
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women.
There is no known cure and it’s estimated that one woman will be
diagnosed every two minutes in the United States*. In light of
these impactful facts, NBCF believes no one should face breast
cancer alone. That’s why this non-profit organization is dedicated
to Helping Women Now® at every step of the breast cancer journey,
providing early detection, education, and support services
including free mammograms through their network of hospitals.
This USA-made pink Nylabone chew toy lets dogs safely satisfy
their natural urge to chew in addition to helping raise breast
cancer awareness. Like all Nylabone Power Chew toys, the Souper is
made of long-lasting nylon and discourages destructive chewing,
provides dogs entertainment, and helps them cope with issues like
separation anxiety. Additionally, it features delicious chicken
flavor throughout while dental ridges and nubs help clean teeth as
dogs chew.
Nylabone’s partnership with NBCF is directed through Nylabone
Cares, a donation program committed to helping dogs and the people
who love them live happy, healthy lives. This initiative supports
charitable causes for dogs and their owners, educating pet parents
on why dogs chew and how to establish healthy chewing habits.
Nylabone Cares also donates chew toys to shelter dogs and dogs
training as life-saving service animals for people in need.
