Chewing is a natural behavior in all dogs, as it helps reduce stress and can also control barking, digging or other destructive behavior. The key to embracing your dog's natural need to chew is to offer appropriate chew objects to help satisfy and relieve chewing urges. Petstages Multi Rope Chew provides differently weaved, colourful ropes all tied in one. All the ropes are 100% cotton, and they help clean teeth when chewed. Three large knots provide added interest for hours of fun. Available in regular, and mini which is great for small breed dogs.
