Choking is scary.
Preventing it is smart.

Be smart about toys, oversight and chewing safety.

Did you know? More than 200,000 pet
choking incidents occur
in the US every year.

Why it's smart to prevent pet choking:

  1. Veterinary and emergency care costs pet parents millions of dollars per year
  2. Witnessing a choking incident can take a huge emotional toll
  3. Pets can experience physical damage, and choking can be fatal

Best known for the life-protecting Bow Wow Buddy™ and its line of SafeFit™ Bully Sticks, Bow Wow Labs is transforming the pet industry with innovative products that promote dogs’ overall health and happiness.

Renowned veterinarian, Dr. Judy Morgan, played a big part in starting National Pet Choking Prevention Day. She’s spent 37 years as a practicing veterinarian, 10 of which were in the ER. Dr. Morgan has seen way too many pet choking incidents that could have been prevented with appropriate chewing safety measures and oversight. Because of this, she’s made one of her goals to educate and enlighten pet parents about how to prevent pet choking.
