Natural Pet Coffee Wood Tough Dog Chew Toy, Brown, Large

I still cannot believe I'm buying stick for my dogs! BUT, Coffee Wood kind of crumbles, rather than splinters, when it gets wet with saliva. You may get crumbles on the floor/dog bed with these. I find it best to use the biggest diameter the dog can fit into its mouth to prevent it biting down with great force. Because these aren't as rigid as most of the plastic chews they are easier on my older dog's teeth. If you happen to get one with a large split in it, do return and exchange. I've only received one like this in several years and more than 10 chews. These are my Cattle Dogs new favorite chews. I wouldn't rank my boys as heavy duty chewers (not like my Pibble or Irish Wolfhound, for example) but dogs that have quite strong bite strength and just want something to chomp on when they are bored. My foster puppies also love them for teething and seem to prefer them above most of the many, many other toys of all textures and densities. With the exception of stuffed Kongs and food puzzle toys, but calories do need consideration. When they get too small for safety I throw them out as I do with any other toy.
