NEPTUNE CITY, N.J., February 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nylabone®, an iconic brand in the Central Garden & Pet portfolio (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA), is celebrating its 70th birthday in 2025 with a year-long campaign dedicated to its heartfelt mission; helping dogs find and stay in loving homes. As part of this milestone celebration, Nylabone is partnering with Best Friends Animal Society® to support pet adoptions by providing chew toys that promote healthy chewing habits, reduce anxiety, and increase a dog's chances of being adopted.
To kick off the celebration, Nylabone is launching the CHEWS for Good™ buy a Nylabone, give a Nylabone initiative. From February 14, 2025 through December 31, 2025, for every Nylabone product purchased, the company will donate an equal number of Nylabone toys to dogs in Best Friends Animal Society-affiliated shelters and rescues–up to a total of 25,000 toys.
"As we celebrate 70 years of making a difference for dogs and their families, we're proud to continue our mission of improving the lives of homeless dogs," said Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of Nylabone Products. "According to Best Friends Animal Society, 2.5 million dogs entered U.S. shelters in 2023, and 457,000 dogs were surrendered. A 2021 analysis revealed that roughly 11% of dogs surrendered were due to either personality or minor behavior issues, such as destructive chewing. By providing chew toys that reduce anxiety and encourage calm, adoptable behavior, we are helping more dogs find and stay in loving homes."
