What is a chewing root?

A chewing root is a piece of root wood. The tubers usually come from a particular tree heath. Chewroots are available in different sizes. The hardwood cannot normally splinter when your dog chews on it. This means that the risk of injury is very low. As we know, this is not always guaranteed with normal sticks that the four-legged friends find when they go for a walk.

What are the advantages of chewing roots for dogs?

Buying a chewing root can be a good decision for several reasons. Because your four-legged friend benefits from it in several ways.

  • Occupation: Dogs love to chew on objects. A chewing root is one way to keep your four-legged friend busy in everyday life.
  • Stress relief: Just like for humans, stress can be an enormous burden for dogs. Chewing on the chewing root helps your four-legged friend to calm down and relax.
  • Durability: Chewable roots can last for several months. This means that your four-legged friend will enjoy them for a long time. However, if the chewing root has reached a size where there is a risk of it being swallowed, you should replace it.
  • Dental care: The mechanical friction when chewing on the hard wood helps to remove plaque from the dog's teeth. In this way, a chewing root can support dental care at least a little.

Chewable roots for dogs: Safety first

As already mentioned, the risk of injury with a chewing root is quite low. Normally, the dog only rasps off tiny pieces with its teeth. This simply makes the chewing root smaller over time. Apart from that, nothing should happen.

Nevertheless, you should take a look at it from time to time. This way, you can see promptly if the chewing root is damaged and if there is a risk of something splintering off. After all, wood splinters can cause unpleasant injuries in the mouth and throat of your four-legged friend.
