Canophera Coffee Wood XS Dog Chew

The Canophera Coffee Wood Extra Small (XS) Dog Chew is a natural, sustainable, and long-lasting chew toy specifically designed for very small dogs and puppies. It's a great option for satisfying a dog's natural urge to chew while promoting dental health.

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

• Target Audience: The "Extra Small" size is specifically recommended for dogs weighing up to 10 lbs (approximately 5 kg). This is the smallest size available and is perfect for toy breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Papillons, as well as young puppies (typically from 6 months old and up, depending on the manufacturer's specific advice).

• Primary Ingredient: The chew is made from 100% coffee tree wood and nothing else. This is a significant feature as it means the chew is:

  • All-natural and free from artificial ingredients.

  • Vegan-friendly and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities to meat proteins.

  • Calorie-free, caffeine-free, and sugar-free, making it a great option for dogs on a diet.

• Health and Dental Benefits:

  • Dental Cleaning: As the dog chews, the fibrous texture of the wood acts like a natural toothbrush. This helps to scrape away plaque and tartar buildup from their teeth, which promotes better oral hygiene and strengthens their jaw muscles.

  • Stress and Boredom Relief: Chewing is a natural and calming behavior for dogs. The durability of the coffee wood stick provides a long-lasting outlet for this instinct, which can help reduce stress and boredom.

• Safety and "Splintering":

  • A key feature of coffee wood is its durability and how it breaks down. Unlike some other woods that can splinter into sharp, dangerous pieces, coffee wood is known to break down into fine, soft, fibrous flakes. These small, digestible pieces are generally considered safe for a dog to swallow in small amounts.

  • However, supervision is always essential. No chew is completely indestructible. It's important to monitor your dog's chewing habits and remove the chew if it becomes too small to prevent a choking hazard.

• Eco-Friendly: Canophera products are known for their sustainability. The chews are made from the wood of coffee trees that have reached the end of their coffee bean-producing life, so no new trees are cut down for their production. This makes the chews a zero-waste and environmentally friendly product.
