Cornstarch based chewing toys for dogs and rodents.
Ferplast is pleased to present an important novelty inside the range of pet accessories: GoodBite NATURAL, an innovative range of chewing toys for dogs made from not genetically modified cornstarch.
GoodBite NATURAL is first of all a toy designed to satisfy the natural instinct to chew thus having a good stress-free function, and helping at the same time to take care of dogs' teeth.
Compared to the majority of dental toys available on the market, GoodBite NATURAL by Ferplast have different flavours, giving the product odours and tastes making them very irresistible for pets. The added flavours - beef, chicken, ham and cereal - have been chosen according to dogs' likings shown during our testing time at the Research and Development Department. The variety of flavours allows a beneficial periodic rotation, promoting continued interest for the dog.
GoodBite NATURAL products differ from traditional dental toys since they are not complementary food for animals: cornstarch is specially treated so that it cannot be digested by the organism, that's why they do not modify pets' diet.
Traditional chews presently on the market, both of animal or vegetable origin, have an important nutritional value, this is the reason why it is recommended to give them in a controller and limited way in order to avoid the frequent problem of becoming overweight.
GoodBite NATURAL is a very useful instrument for healthy dogs' mouth: this is an important relevant topic due to the majority of modern day dogs suffering from dental and gum diseases. The shape and the taste of GoodBite NATURAL stimulate a dog's urge to chew, the chewing mechanical action helps remove bacterial plaque, thus reducing tartar build-up and preventing caries development.
Moreover, GoodBite NATURAL is a completely safe product. Its special composition will not cause any gastro-intestinal obstruction because when cornstarch gets in contact with dog's saliva and the gastric juices, it turns into a jelly-like mass. GoodBite NATURAL is completely non-toxic and, contrary to traditional animal based chews, it doesn't generate any pathogen microbes, mildew or fungus, which can compromise pet's health. For this reason it doesn't have any preservation requirements and has no expiry date.
GoodBite NATURAL products are eco-friendly since they are biodegradable, they contain no heavy metals so don't release any toxic residual.
