Information On Dog Chew Toys For Heavy Chewers

By Tammie Caldwell


Chew toys are designed specifically for chewing by animals. Dogs and puppies seem to be the main animals that these products are used on. Other animals for which the commodities are meant include rodents like rabbits and birds. The animal size and types determines the type of toy chosen. There are many kinds of dog chew toys for heavy chewers and others for medium and light chewers.

the products are meant to serve several purposes in different animals. However, the main purposes are stimulation and relief from boredom. As the animals such as puppies gnaw on the item, they are soothed, making the pain associated with breaking into adult teeth to be eased. Gnawing leads to the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain, which help to relieve pain.

These items play an important role in the lives of animals. They are believed to lead to happy and healthy animals in addition to serving as a source of entertainment. Animals are kept busy and entertained as they gnaw and play with the toy. The end result is a relaxed and anxiety-free animal. Small animals are also kept busy from chewing on other valuable items. The items also lead to healthy teeth.

Today, types of these product are very many and diverse. Mineral, wood, rawhide, and paper are among the major types. Rawhide brands get manufactured from animal skin. They serve best on dogs, although other breeds of animals also do well on them except herbivores. The digestive systems of herbivores are not adapted to digest animal skin. Rawhide items are resistant to damage by birds and other small animals.

Wood that is soft and not poisonous is used in making wood toys. The products are usually coated or painted with dyes derived from vegetables. They have bright colors and serve as substitute for natural wood found in the wild by small animals and birds. They help to trim beaks and nails hence avoiding chewing-related issues. One is also saved from having to visit a vet frequently to clip teeth and nails.

Paper chew toys are manufactured using non-bleached and non-toxic paper. These brand are arguably the cheapest of all kinds and can sometimes be obtained free of charge. They do not last long and only provide stimulation for hours. Paper-based products are most suitable for small animals. On the other hand, as suggested by the name, mineral toys are manufactured from animal-safe minerals. The commodities are flavored with different flavors.

Mineral-based commodities have varied sizes and shapes. Ice-cream-shaped products are meant for rabbits while block-shaped ones are used on birds. Some designs look like bowls with fluffy minerals put inside. Nails and beaks of birds are maintained trimmed and healthy by these commodities.

Finally is the rubber toy, which comes in different sizes, designs, and shapes. In most cases these products are designed with hollows that contain treats inside. The treats make the animal to work in order to reach them. This keeps the animal busy and working.
