The 2022 Pet Independent Innovation Awards, an independent recognition platform highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products in the highly competitive Pet Care industry, today announced Pet’s Best Life, a company dedicated to improving pet health and nutrition, is the winner of the “Dog Treat Functional Product of the Year ” award for their Yummy Combs® Dog Treats.

While most oral care treats for dogs are in the shape of a bone or stick, Yummy Combs® are made with an innovative patented honeycomb shape. It’s the first ever thin-walled treat that flosses and scrubs the teeth 360° all the way to the gum line both on the upper and lower jaw at the same time.

Yummy Combs® are packed with 47% animal protein with chicken as the first ingredient providing essential amino acids that dogs need. In addition to this higher amount of protein, the treats also have less starch with the purpose of avoiding obesity - the number one nutritional concern in dogs. Additionally, the complete and balanced treat includes vitamins, minerals and twelve specific wellness ingredients that work together to support digestion, healthy skin and coat, cognitive function, as well as dental, heart and joint health - all while providing no empty calories. They are also all natural, gluten free, grain free and Non-GMO.

Importantly, Yummy Combs® treats are safe. They are made wide enough to deter gulping when dogs are fed the proper sized treat for their weight. In addition, due to the patent pending ingredient Slick ‘M™, the treat becomes exceptionally slippery when it touches saliva, water or gastric juices. Slick ‘M™ along with the thin walls help to dissolve the treat quickly while making it easy to digest.

“We’re so honored that Yummy Combs have won this award from Pet Innovation. Along with Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist Dr. Jan Bellows and Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist Dr. Lon Lewis, we set out to create a unique treat that encompasses the best in Oral Care, Nutrition, Enjoyment and Safety,” said Dr. Joe Roetheli, co-Founder of Pets Best Life. “It’s the revolutionary shape that makes all the difference. Pet owners love to watch their pups get excited and dance, wiggle and waggle waiting for a Yummy Combs® dog treat.”

The mission of the annual Pet Innovation Awards Program is to honor innovation and recognize the excellence, hard work and success in a range of Pet Care industry categories, including Apparel, Grooming & Cleaning, Food & Treats, Health, Housing, Toys, Training, Retailers & Services and more. The 2022 Pet Innovation Awards attracted more than 2,000 nominations from around the world.

“With periodontal disease being the number one disease in dogs, in the advanced stages dogs may be in significant pain. However, pets tend to hide this out of instinct. Unfortunately, the effects of periodontal disease don’t remain confined to the teeth and gums - this disease can lead to problems with a dog’s organs and even cause heart disease if the bacteria enters the bloodstream,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Independent Innovation Awards. “Revolutionary Yummy Combs Dog Treats are changing the way people treat their dogs. Yummy Combs is the perfect combination of revolutionary oral care, nutrition, advanced safety and wellness all for the pet’s best life. With its great taste, it’s the easiest, most fun way to floss and brush your dog’s teeth. Congratulations on winning ‘Dog Treat Functional Product of the Year.’”
