Drool by Dr Chris Brown – NEW! In-Betweeners Gland + Gut Health Treats & Teeth + Breath Dental Treat Peanut Butter
The ridiculously handsome Bondi Vet does it again with a new range of healthy treats to fix some of our pups most pressing problems. Did you know a digestive system is home to over 100 trillion bacteria? Drool’s In-Betweeners Gland + Gut Health Treats (Salmon) are designed to tackle one of the least glamorous dog issues—anal gland discomfort and digestive imbalance. They are big chunky treats made with hypoallergenic Aussie salmon, green banana flour, and targeted prebiotics, to support gut health, reduce scooting, (rubbing their bums on the ground) and help sensitive pups feel their best. They’re grain-free, human-grade, and ideal for dogs with allergies or skin flare-ups. Not a quick fix, but a four-week health upgrade in treat form. My two greyhounds taste tested these plus the dental plus the dental treats which are made with real Aussie peanut butter, Atlantic Brown Kelp, Tasmanian Bull Kelp, Vitamin C and Coconut Oil. Over 80% of dogs show signs of dental disease by age 3 and most pet parents don’t even realise it’s there. The ingredients proven to reduce tartar build-up and promote health gums. For longer lasting fresh breath! Of the two both my pups preferred the taste of the anal gland biccies, but munched up both packets over a week or so! Buy here $13.99 a packet.
The SpineAlign™ Dream Bed by Drool. Dr. Chris Brown
I didn’t think I’d ever envy my dog’s sleep setup. But then I spotted the SpineAlign™ Dream Bed at the Dog Lovers show in Sydney a few weeks ago and fell in love. Finally the bed arrived— it looks like a mini sofa! Maggie my greyhound can’t jump on it quick enough and is living in orthopedic bliss while my own mattress is arguably less comfortable. Designed by vet Dr. Chris Brown, the dual-layer memory foam is Australian-made, odour-free, and so plush. Maggie is already onto the vibe – “restorative nap incoming.” I love the navy bucle cover. Its soft, breathable, waterproof, and machine-washable. What sets it apart is the SpineAlign™ tech: a subtle elevation that keeps her long, lean frame in perfect alignment. She’s been loving using the sides for her head or paws. She is a fabulous roacher and its held her steady on her tummy, side and upside down. I have sat on it with her and its SO DARN comfy so we have cuddles on her sofa, rather than her being on ours! I really love how stylish it is. Some of our other dog beds look less than design led in our lounge and it fits snuggly by our Peloton and as its a little higher up easy for us to scratch her tummy or ears whilst we watch Netflix! Massive thumbs up. I can’t believe how much I love it – and I am not a dog…
At $369.99, it’s not a casual impulse buy—but if your dog’s sleep and comfort are your priority, your vet bills are climbing, or you just want to spoil them rotten, this bed earns its keep. Bonus: it’s backed by a 10-year no-sag foam guarantee and a lifetime warranty on the cover.
