A sunny afternoon with Sydney’s dog-loving community
There’s something special about spending a sunny afternoon surrounded by dogs and the people who love them. Yesterday, Sunday 20 September, Arca Lab joined a free pop-up event at Erko Hotel, bringing together plenty of local dog parents for a relaxed afternoon in the sunshine.
From 12 pm to 3 pm, we had the chance to meet fellow dog lovers, chat about their pups and share what we’ve been creating at Arca Lab. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday, and we’re so grateful to everyone who stopped by.
A Sunny Afternoon with Sydney’s Dog Parents
It was wonderful seeing so many dog parents come out and enjoy the day with their pups.
One of our favourite parts of running Arca Lab is getting to meet our community in person. We love chatting with fellow dog lovers, hearing about their dogs and sharing what inspired us to create a fruity alternative to everyday dog toothpaste.
And, of course, we couldn’t resist bringing a little fun along!
Spin the Wheel to Win: Freebies, Discounts and Lots of Smiles
Our Spin the Wheel to Win was a big hit, with lots of customers stopping by to have a go.
The best part? The majority of customers walked away with something! From discounts on Arca Lab products to free finger toothbrushes, there were plenty of little wins throughout the afternoon.
It was lovely seeing everyone get involved, have a spin and enjoy a little surprise. We wanted to make the event fun for everyone, and it was great to see so many people taking part.
Whether you won a discount or picked up a free finger brush, we hope you enjoyed your little Arca Lab treat!
Making Dog Teeth Brushing a Little More Enjoyable
At Arca Lab, we believe caring for our dogs should feel like a natural part of everyday life — not another thing to stress about.
That’s why we created Watermelon Burst Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste, a fruity alternative to the more familiar meat, poultry and mint flavours often found in dog toothpaste.
Here’s what makes it part of our everyday routine:
- Fruity watermelon flavour: A fun alternative for dogs who might prefer something different.
- Mess-free pump bottle: Designed to make dispensing toothpaste simple.
- Enzymatic formula: Made with bromelain, a pineapple-derived enzyme.
- Free finger toothbrush: Every toothpaste comes with a finger toothbrush to help you get started.
We know every dog is different, and brushing habits take time to build. Our goal is to help dog parents find a routine that works for them and their pups.

New to Brushing Your Dog’s Teeth?

A few simple tips to help you begin:
- Let your dog sniff and explore the toothbrush first.
- Start with a small amount of dog-specific toothpaste.
- Gently introduce brushing in short sessions.
