The Importance of Choosing the Right Chew Size

One of our most frequently asked questions revolves around determining the appropriate size chew for your dog. Understandably, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this query, as each dog's characteristics, such as size, weight, breed, and chewing habits, are unique. However, through thorough research, we've established an average weight-to-chew ratio to provide pet parents with a starting point.

Our range of chews typically aligns in terms of weight and size, facilitating selection based on your dog's specific needs:

For Coffee Wood Sticks & Coffee+Coco:

  • XS: Suitable for dogs up to 10 lbs
  • S: Designed for dogs weighing 11-20 lbs
  • M: Catering to dogs weighing 21-45 lbs
  • L: Tailored for dogs weighing 46-85 lbs
  • XL: Intended for dogs weighing 85 lbs and above

For Briar Root, Antlers & Sheep Horns:

  • XS: Recommended for dogs up to 10 lbs
  • S: Suitable for dogs weighing 11-20 lbs
  • M: Designed for dogs weighing 21-45 lbs
  • L: Tailored for dogs weighing 46-65 lbs
  • XL: Intended for dogs weighing 66-85 lbs
  • XXL: Suitable for dogs over 85 lbs

It's important to note that even dogs of similar breed and weight may require different chews based on their individual chewing tendencies. For instance, one may exhibit more aggressive chewing behavior than another, warranting a different type of chew.

To ensure the best fit for your furry companion:

  • Assess your dog's chewing behavior (refer to our blog for guidance)
  • Determine their weight and refer to our suggested weight-to-chew size
  • If your dog falls within the heavy to power chewer categories, consider opting for a larger size in Coffee Wood Sticks or Coffee+Coco
  • For serious power chewers, Briar Root or an Antler Whole offer a longer-lasting chewing experience

While selecting the right chew may involve some trial and error, we encourage you to share any uninterested chews with other furry friends, as preferences can vary among dogs. Your dedication to finding the perfect chew ensures a happy and thriving companion.
