Australian owned dog care
FreshPup started with a surgery, a cone, and a problem nothing on the shelf could fix.
When our dog needed jaw surgery, his breath changed overnight. Every dental product we tried required something he physically couldn’t do. So we found another way.
Our story
He came home from surgery and nothing was the same.
When Baxter needed jaw surgery, we were just relieved he got through it. The cone, the recovery, the restricted diet, the soft food only. We could handle all of that. What we weren’t ready for was the smell.
His limited post-surgery diet changed his breath almost overnight. And it wasn’t subtle. Every time he came over for comfort during recovery, every time he rested his head on our lap, we’d instinctively turn away. He was healing, he needed us close, and we were pulling back from him when he needed us most.
He was recovering from surgery and all we could think about was his breath. The guilt was horrible.
So we tried to fix it. But here’s the thing about a dog recovering from jaw surgery. You can’t shove a toothbrush in there. Dental chews were completely off the table. His jaw couldn’t handle them, and even if it could, his restricted diet ruled them out. Oral sprays? Try getting a spray near the mouth of a dog who just had his jaw operated on. He flinched every time a hand went near his face.
Every single dental product on the shelf was designed for a healthy dog with a normal mouth who’d happily sit still and cooperate. We didn’t have that dog. We had a dog in a cone who could barely eat, let alone chew on a dental stick.
But he could still drink water. That hadn’t changed. Surgery or not, cone or not, restricted diet or not, he still walked over to his bowl and drank, multiple times a day, without being asked.
What if the solution just went in his water?
We found a formula with three active ingredients. CPC to break apart the bacterial biofilm building up in his mouth, green tea extract to soothe his inflamed gums, and zinc gluconate to neutralise the sulfur compounds causing the stink. Completely clear. Tasteless. One capful, once a day, straight into his bowl. He couldn’t see it. He couldn’t taste it. He just drank his water like he always did.
Within a couple of weeks, the difference was real. Not just the breath, the closeness. We stopped turning our heads. He stopped getting the cold shoulder during cuddles. We could actually be there for him while he healed, without that invisible wall between us.
That’s why FreshPup exists. Not because we set out to build a pet brand. Because we had a dog who needed help, and nothing on the shelf could give it to him.
We figured if it worked for the hardest case, a dog recovering from jaw surgery on a restricted diet who couldn’t use anything else, it would work for any dog whose owner was quietly pulling away from the smell.
