When our French Bulldog, Audrey, suddenly couldn’t walk one morning, our world turned upside down. What we thought was a normal day turned into an emergency surgery and months of recovery. That’s when we first heard the word IVDD—a spinal disease that affects thousands of dogs every year.
Like so many dog parents, we had never even heard of it. But now, it’s our mission to make sure you don’t go through the same blindsiding experience. That’s why we created Pawvention: daily joint chews designed to help reduce the risk of IVDD and keep your dog moving happily for years to come.
What Is IVDD?
IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) is a painful and sometimes life-altering spinal condition. It happens when the cushioning discs between a dog’s vertebrae herniate or burst, pressing on the spinal cord.
The scary part?
It can happen suddenly. One day your dog is running, playing, and jumping like normal—and the next, they may not even be able to stand.
Some breeds, like French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, and Corgis, are especially prone because of their long spines and genetics. But any dog can be at risk.
Prevention Is Key
The hardest lesson we learned through Audrey’s journey is this: by the time IVDD strikes, it’s often too late. Prevention is the most powerful tool we have as dog parents.
That’s why we formulated Pawvention Joint Care Chews with scientifically proven ingredients like:
-
Green-Lipped Mussel – supports joint cushioning and inflammation control
-
Glucosamine – help keep cartilage and discs healthy
-
MSM – promotes connective tissue repair
Just one tasty chew a day helps support spine and disc health—giving your dog the best chance at a long, happy, and active life.
Audrey’s Story: Why Pawvention Exists
After her diagnosis, Audrey went through surgery, crate rest, and countless therapy sessions. Watching her struggle through those first wobbly steps broke our hearts.
But her resilience inspired us. She’s walking again—imperfectly, but beautifully. And now, her story is helping other dogs stay safe.
Every tub of Pawvention chews comes with our Free IVDD Prevention Guide, packed with tips like weight management, safe harness use, and home adjustments to protect your pup’s spine.
Because prevention doesn’t stop with one chew—it’s a lifestyle of love, care, and awareness.
