Root chews for dogs are made from wood and they’re safe for pets. This may sound strange to some dog owners, but it’s the truth. The chews are made from the roots of tree species such as the Java, Araack, and Heath trees.
These are known to produce some of the densest wood in the world and therefore will not splinter. Their roots are hard, but not at as hard as bone, and they won’t damage a pet’s mouth or teeth.
In contrast to bone and weaker types of wood, as a dog chews and works on a root chew the edges will slowly become slightly softer in texture. This is due to both the chewing action and the pet’s saliva. And instead of splintering, small moist wooden fibers will typically crumble off of the edge of the root.
These shavings will get on your floor and they will need to be swept or vacuumed up. However they won’t stain, smell, and aren’t dangerous. In fact they can be ingested safely and pass through your pet without a problem because roots are mainly made up of fiber.
The roots also contain natural tannins which aid in tooth and mouth cleaning and are described as a mouthwash made by Mother Nature herself.
Root chews for dogs actually can help to make a pet’s teeth stronger as well. The roots used contain large amounts of both calcium oxides and potassium which strengthen tooth enamel.
One of the best benefits of root chews and their owners is that they can last for an extremely long time. In fact depending on the type of chewer your pet is and how often you allow him to chew it, a single root can last anywhere from a few weeks to even several years.
They are so long-lasting because of several factors. Tree root chews for dogs are dense and also typically wide and sometimes oddly-shaped. So unlike a bone or traditional chew, dogs have a harder time getting leverage and really bearing down on them.
Some pets actually chew so hard that they can’t be given bones or other hard options such as antler bones because they may damage or even break their teeth. For these special power chewers in particular, tree root chews make a convenient and safe alternative.
And of course for dogs that have a love of chewing on all things made from wood whether it be furniture, windowsills, or backyard sticks, chews are usually a favorite which helps keeps them out of trouble.
