THE NATURAL DESIRE TO CHEW

THE NATURAL DESIRE TO CHEW

Did you know that chewing has always been a natural way for dogs to soothe their nerves, unwind, and stay engaged?

When our canine friends chew on something, they release hormones like dopamine and serotonin, which are linked to feelings of happiness and joy. By giving our dogs something to chew on, we help them fulfill their instinctual needs. Since many of us no longer live in rural areas where dogs can engage in their traditional roles, it’s important to find ways to support our companions in today’s bustling cities and towns, where they can easily feel overstimulated and under-stimulated.

As pet owners we want to do the best we can to make our pets both happy and active by providing them the best of everything. One way we can do this is through tasty and delicious pet treat chews for your pets that can help promote dental health and mental enrichment. Here is how we recommend finding the best chews for your dog.

Benefits of Dog Chews

All-natural dog chews come with a bunch of benefits, and here are a few of them:

Dental Health: Chewing on treats can reduce plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth, promoting better oral hygiene and preventing dental issues.

Mental Stimulation: Chews provide mental stimulation and help ease boredom, especially for active pets. It can also involve them in mind activities such as playing with toys and training, which promotes their overall well-being.

Improved Digestion: Natural chews are made with components that support intestinal health to facilitate digestion. Chews enriched with fiber or probiotics can help your pet’s digestive tract function more normally, which lowers their risk of upset stomachs and other digestive problems.

Choosing the Right Dog Chews

The size, age, and chewing habits of your canine best friend should all be considered when choosing treats or chews. If your pet is an aggressive chewer, get a more robust one that can resist forceful chewing. Some Important points for choosing the right treat include: 

Texture and Size: Select Treats appropriate for your pet’s size and chewing habits so that it does not harm them.

Ingredients: Choose for the treats that are made naturally with no artificial preservatives or additives.

Purpose: Consider the purpose of treats like you want to train your dog for dental health, or simply as a fun snack.
