Nylabone has donated a selection of its durable chew toys to Medical Detection Dogs to support the charity’s work training dogs for life-changing assistance and medical detection roles.
The donation will benefit dogs at every stage of training from young puppies beginning their journey through to older dogs who are developing the specialist scent detection skills that enable them to support people living with complex medical conditions and assist pioneering medical research.
Medical Detection Dogs places the highest importance on each dog's health and welfare, with carefully managed nutrition and thoughtfully chosen treats and chews playing an important role in their daily routine, enrichment and development. The charity trains Assistance Dogs to support people with complex medical conditions, while its Bio Detection Dogs use their extraordinary sense of smell to detect diseases including cancer, Parkinson's disease and bacterial infections.
Harry Scott, European Brand Manager at Nylabone, said,
“Canine welfare is at the heart of everything we do, so we're delighted to support the remarkable work of Medical Detection Dogs. Positive chewing is an important part of every dog's wellbeing, helping to provide enrichment and satisfy natural chewing instincts, particularly during training. We'd also like to thank our UK distributor, Rosewood, for helping facilitate this donation and ensuring our products reach the dogs that can benefit from them most. It's wonderful to know our products are playing a small part in supporting these incredible dogs as they prepare for the important roles they will go on to fulfil."
