What's The Best Thing To Chew for Your Dog?

We all know that dogs are naturally chewers, it’s just part of being a dog. And this is also a very important part! If you take it seriously, his chewing can help his mouth become healthier and stronger. Instead, it will destroy any appliance in the home and even bite people. First of all, chewing is a human behavior to cope with stress. Humans chew their nails, clench their teeth, and bite objects to vent their emotional tension or pressure. So if this is a natural behavior for us, it’s no surprise that it’s natural and necessary for our dogs.

Whether they are puppies or adults, all dogs need to chew. Puppies chew when they are teething to relieve pain and soothe their gums, or just to explore their new world (just like babies!). They then continue into adulthood to keep their chewing muscles strong, their teeth clean, and their brains active. At the same time, chewing can help older dogs cope with anxiety, depression, and boredom. In fact, it's one of three enrichment activities that can help calm an overly or anxious dog. In humans, we can relate this to the desire to chew gum. Have you ever noticed that chewing gum can make you more alert and promote more positive mood and relaxation? If chewing can do this for us, then chewing must be good for our dogs. That is, as long as they're chewing the right stuff.

Chewing is good for your dog’s physical and mental health, so it’s important to provide them with plenty of safe and suitable chewing items. If they don’t, they’ll pull out their own chew “toys,” like your most expensive pair of shoes, the legs of a dining room chair, the nearest electrical cord, or even your arm!

There are so many dog chews and chew toys to choose from these days! Which ones are the best? Which one should you avoid? How do you choose? Are rope toys safe for dogs? Is it harmful to dogs? What about rawhide? These are some of the issues that are worth considering for pet lovers. It is very important to choose toys that are suitable for the "little owners" of your own family.
