Canophera Coffee Wood Medium Dog Chew

The Canophera Coffee Wood Medium Dog Chew is a natural, sustainable, and long-lasting chew toy designed for medium-sized dogs. It is made from the wood of a coffee tree, a byproduct of coffee production.

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

• Target Audience: The "Medium" size is generally recommended for dogs weighing up to 45 lbs (approximately 20 kg). This size is ideal for breeds like Beagles, Border Collies, and medium-sized Poodles. For dogs with particularly strong jaws or aggressive chewing habits, it is often recommended to size up for added safety and durability.

• Primary Ingredient: The chew is made from 100% coffee tree wood and nothing else. This makes it a great option for dogs with food allergies or those on a restricted diet, as it is completely free of animal products, artificial ingredients, calories, caffeine, and sugar.

• Health and Dental Benefits:

  • Dental Cleaning: The firm, fibrous texture of the wood acts like a natural toothbrush. As the dog chews, it helps to scrape away plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth, promoting better oral hygiene and strengthening dental muscles.

  • Stress and Boredom Relief: Chewing is a natural and instinctual behavior for dogs. The act of chewing on a durable item like a coffee wood stick provides mental stimulation and can help relieve stress, anxiety, and boredom.

  • Hypoallergenic: Since it contains no animal or artificial ingredients, it is a naturally hypoallergenic chew.

• Safety and "Splintering":

  • A key aspect of coffee wood chews is how they break down. Unlike many other types of wood that can splinter into sharp, dangerous shards, coffee wood is designed to break down into fine, fibrous flakes. These small pieces are generally considered safe for a dog to swallow in small amounts as they pass through the digestive system.

  • However, supervision is still crucial. If a dog is an extremely aggressive chewer and manages to break off a large piece or a sharp splinter, it should be removed immediately to prevent a choking hazard. It's important for dog owners to monitor their pet's chewing habits and remove the chew when it becomes too small.

• Eco-Friendly: Canophera emphasizes the sustainable nature of their product. The chews are made from the wood of coffee trees that have reached the end of their productive life and would otherwise be discarded or burned, making it an eco-friendly and zero-waste product.
