Chewing is a fundamental behavior for dogs. Much more than just a pleasure, it is essential to their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Yet, many owners still underestimate its importance in their companion's daily life.
Why is chewing so important?
Chewing is a natural need that is part of the instinct of all dogs, regardless of their age or breed.
When a dog chews regularly:
• It maintains oral health by helping to reduce plaque and tartar.
• It soothes stress and tension by releasing endorphins, hormones of well-being.
• He spends himself mentally by concentrating on a healthy and rewarding activity.
• It prevents boredom and thus limits destructive or compulsive behavior (excessive barking, chewing on objects, etc.).
• It develops self-confidence , especially in puppies and sensitive dogs.
In short, chewing directly contributes to better overall health and balanced behavior.
Promote healthy chewing
To meet this vital need, it is essential to offer your dog suitable chewing activities.
Natural solutions remain the safest and most effective:
• Dried skins (beef, lamb, etc.) for prolonged and delicious chewing,
• Water clogs for heavy chewers,
• Deer antler for long-lasting chewing rich in minerals,
• Meaty bones to rediscover ancestral eating habits.
These products, made from natural and minimally processed raw materials, respect your dog's rhythm and physiology while guaranteeing their safety.
Favor naturalness
Beware of processed treats that are too high in additives, sugars, or by-products. These can not only harm your dog's dental health, but also their digestion and overall well-being.
