Choosing the OLA Bamboo dog and cat toothbrush is an ecological choice, but also a choice for the dental health of your pet. 85% of cats and dogs will experience dental problems in their lifetime, especially infections of the gum, plaque, tartar, bacteria or even gingivitis.
The first sign of 'bad breath is often a problem… and one in two owners find that their pet sometimes has bad breath! Brushing her teeth regularly can save her a lot of trouble. Especially in the long term, tartar bacteria can pass into the blood and attach themselves to organs, which can cause heart and kidney failure.
It's worth taking a small 30 seconds to brush your furry friend's teeth every day or at least 2-3 times a week.- Pack of 2 toothbrushes for small dogs or cats

Use & maintenance:
Dry the toothbrush well before storing.
How to dispose of it:
Once the life of your toothbrush is over (it should be changed every 3-4 months) you simply need to remove the bristles using pliers or break the head before putting the handle in the compost. The rest will go in the trash. You can also reuse the handle as a stake for a plant, to identify your plants in the garden or to start your campfire! Let your imagination run wild!
Ethically made in China. -
Bamboo is a resource that renews itself quickly and has antimicrobial properties. In addition, moso bamboo, used in the manufacture of our toothbrushes, is a type of bamboo not consumed by pandas. It grows naturally without the addition of chemicals. The handle is 100% biodegradable. Nylon bristles are flexible enough to reach all corners of the mouth to keep your teeth perfectly healthy. It is a great alternative to plastic.

Our mission is to help reduce plastic waste by offering environmentally friendly products that are accessible and easy to use.
Making a difference means starting with small things. Our adventure started with the bamboo toothbrush, because it is an element that we will use all our lives and which is (almost) always plastic! But we weren't going to stop there! A ton of utility items are disposable and pollute a lot.
Hence the creation of our various other ecological products, such as our reusable bamboo utensils and straws, our reusable makeup removal pads, our ecological dental floss and much more!
Social economy
For OLA Bamboo, social involvement is an integral part of the company's mission This is why we are doing business with Re-Source Integration, a social economy company located in Gatineau, which employs more than one hundreds of people with a disability, either an intellectual disability, physical limitations or mental health problems. We also work with the company Pivot Center-du-Québec, located in Drummondville, which is a psychosocial rehabilitation service through the medium of work. Participants in recovery are people aged 18 and over living with a mental health problem.
Whether it is for the assembly of certain products and displays or for the engravings of certain corporate products; it is a pride for us to work with these wonderful teams!
We plant trees
When you buy an OLA Bamboo product, you at the same time, participate in tree planting with Compensation CO2 Québec. It is very important for us to decrease our carbon footprint and to help the health of our beautiful planet. Since the start of the adventure, more than 2,000 trees have been planted in Notre-Dame des Bois and 1,000 more in Stratford, Quebec ... thanks to you!
