Dog chews as stress relief and better dental health

It's easy for us to take a yoga class and meditate when we are stress out.. but your pooch can't quite get into those asanas, let alone sit still for a minute (unless there is a new dog meditation app out there)

 

So, instread of losing your temper (and having to medite again) why not replace your favorite pair of shoes with some appropriate doggy chews. Let's show you how to keep both our and our pooches stress levels low, so we'll both be happy

 

 

Let's first look at Reasons Why You May Have a Heavy Chewer

 

Puppies adore chewing. They're just getting ready for that dog life and starting to teeth, trying to soothe sometimes irritated gums. Or your pup just wants to try new things in his mouth. Dog chews help a lot in the puppy phase. As the phase continues more that a few days, maybe it's a good idea to choose long-lasting chews such as deer antlers.

If your dog doesn’t get enough play time or the daily walk is too short they might take their feelings out on your favourite shoes. In that case, it's a good idea to have a chew handy. Just show your doggo that the tasty treat is the right thing to be chewed on.

 

The chewing need is totally normal for dogs of all ages. This activity relieves the stress, makes keeps their jaws strong and their teeth clean. Dogs sometimes direct their chewing behavior toward inappropriate items, so they should have a variety of appropriate and attractive chew. 

 

 

Now, let's see how we can help solve the chewing issue

 

While chewing behavior is normal, dogs sometimes direct their chewing behavior toward inappropriate items. Just providing the right things to chew isn’t enough to prevent inappropriate chewing. Dogs need to learn what is okay to chew and what is not. It is important for them to know that the chewing itself is not the problem, only the object they choose is.

 

Using a baby gate or a crate to create a safer space for them can reduce their chances for mischief. 

 

In order to find out what your doggo likes on chewing and which is not that attractive for him, try on different chews.
