In reply to Alys.

Thanks Alys, it’s always great to get a positive recommendation from a vet – thank you!

Dogs love their sticks, don’t they! My dog included. I’ve found coffee wood good in the past, although I have more success with bones – which my dog loves to chew on my bedroom carpet, and only on my bedroom carpet.

I’m a vet who thoroughly hates vet food and anything like it. I adore your website and recommend it to so many people.
My dog is an odd boy and has impeccable teeth, why? He gnaws on wood. (I do not recommend this for most dogs unless they are actively spitting out the wood as swallowing can lead to severe internal damage. He is also very closely monitored). He resembles a tobacco chewer with his wood, it’s rather interesting. He will turn his nose up and a perfectly good bone and go back to his piece of firewood. He will actively take a new one from the wood basket when his is getting too small for him to hold in his paws or if there isn’t much left to chew or gnaw happily. He uses both large branch pieces and actual trunk pieces.
I took him in once to do a dental after my partner and I got together (originally his dog) and there was nothing to do. I was happily bored for an hour.

In reply to Karen Mitchell. Thanks Karen, very much appreciated. I had Sacha Packer slating me for using a click-bait title - not sure if she actually read the article.

“this is what Purina (Nestle) have to say about your dog’s canine teeth”..

Really keen to see what people feed their dogs in regards to bones. The research I have conducted is full of conflicting types of bones. Marrow bones are ok vs marrow bones will break teeth.
Definitely don’t want to visit the vet, but want my dog to have the dental benefits.
