1.About BAUWAW
BAUWAW is a Japanese healthcare food brand for your beloved dogs and cats.
BAUWAW's policy is to only create things that people would want to give to their own children.
We offer a variety of products, but the "Healthcare Treats" we would like to introduce today was launched in 2022 and has exceeded cumulative sales of 100,000 units in just a few months.
*According to BAUWAW research in April 2023
BAUWAW originally dealt in dog food and cat food from Europe, a country known as a pioneer in the pet industry.
As I continued to come into contact with high-quality European food and researched the ingredients and manufacturing methods,
Before long, BAUWAW staff had begun to avoid giving Japanese food to their own children.
Japan has the wonderful ingredients and food manufacturing technology, so it would be a waste to rely on imports.
With this in mind, BAUWAW made some "promises" and decided to start preparing his own meals.
That promise is to only create things that I would want to give to my own children.
And to create products that put health first.
We would like to be of some help to you and your beloved dogs and cats in your irreplaceable daily lives.
With this in mind, BAUWAW seems to be working on creating products every day.

2. About arthritis in dogs
A dog's joints are actually very delicate.
The risk of arthritis increases with age, and it is said that approximately 45% of dogs over the age of 12 suffer from arthritis.
[Incidence of joint diseases in dogs by age]
*Source: Nihon University College of Bioresources, Department of Veterinary Medicine. Subjects: Dogs (ages 10 and over, 524 dogs) that visited Nihon University Hospital.
It is said that one of the major causes of arthritis is the decrease in glucosamine levels due to aging.
Glucosamine is the main component of cartilage, the cushion that holds bones together.
When we are young, it is produced naturally in the body, but as we get older, the amount of osteoarthritis decreases, and when bones begin to rub against each other, we start to feel pain.
In addition, glucosamine is a component that is very difficult to obtain through your regular diet.
Furthermore, once cartilage is damaged or deformed, it cannot be repaired, so your dog will have to live with joint pain for the rest of his life.
3. Treats for your dog's joint health
In response to feedback from our partners who say they are concerned about products that contain unknown ingredients, we put as much attention into what is not in our products as we do into what is in them.
The following are its features.
◆ No additives
No artificial flavors, colorings, or other unnecessary additives are used. No thickeners are used to create a thick texture.
◆ Gluten-free
After repeated trials, we have succeeded in naturally thickening the dough using gluten-free brown rice flour, making it suitable for dogs with wheat allergies.
◆ Low salt content
It is naturally flavored with domestic chicken, chicken oil, and bonito flakes powder.
The recipe eliminates as many unnecessary ingredients as possible, so the salt concentration is less than 0.1%.
◆ Supervised by a veterinarian
The nutritional ingredients have been formulated in collaboration with veterinarians to address problems that are likely to occur during the "growth to senior years" stages of your dog's life. We developed this product in the hope that it will be easy to provide early care for your dog from a young age.
Here is the actual ingredient list.
Here are the ingredients that support healthy joints:
Glucosamine
It is a component found in large amounts in the shells of shrimp, crabs, etc., and is the main component of cartilage, acting as a cushion in joints.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin, which is found in large amounts in shark fins and shark cartilage, is a component that helps retain moisture in cartilage.
*When "glucosamine" and "chondroitin" are taken together, a synergistic effect can be expected. This is because chondroitin actively supports the function of glucosamine by providing moisture and nutrition.

4. Recommended ways to eat it
We're sure you've all experienced the experience of your dog not eating the way you want it to.
So here are some recommended ways to eat it.
◆ Just open the package and give it to them
It's a simple recipe that can be eaten as is, so you can easily support your daily health.
◆ You can pour it over your regular rice or pour hot water over it to make soup.
Making soup will also help your pet get plenty of fluids. Be sure to let it cool completely before giving it to them to avoid burns.
