Coconut Rope Toys - Nature's Toothbrush
Dogs have a Natural Desire to Chew
Do you have a dog that LOVES to just gnaw on their toys? Does your dog find satisfaction from ripping apart their plush toys? If so, your dog is not alone!
Many dogs find pleasure and satisfaction chewing on softer materials and also shredding or ripping apart their toys. While the dog may enjoy this, their pet parents may not because they are left cleaning up messes and potentially wasting money on expensive toys. But worst of all, pet parents may be worried about their dog ingesting plastics, chemicals, and other harmful substances that may make their dog sick or even cause an intestinal blockage.
Dangers of dog's Chewing
Did you know that intestinal blockages are a frequent emergency in veterinary medicine? Dogs are particularly prone to this due to their tendency to ingest foreign objects. The most common causes of intestinal blockages are bones, toys, and clothing. In many cases the success rate is high; however, the cost can range anywhere from $1000-$10,000 depending on the case. Plus the recovery time and healing for the dog.
Canophera wants to put your mind at ease with our new Coconut Rope Toys. As dog people, we recognized the need for a more playful and softer chew that dogs could gnaw on and potentially shred or pull apart. The coconut rope allows dogs to do this with no harmful chemicals or additives.
With the sole ingredient of coconut husk fibers, pet parents can rest assured their pup is not only healthy and happy, but also cleaning their teeth in the process. Each toy is handmade by a small, local family business in Vietnam. They worked diligently with us to develop a rope with small 1-2 inch fibers. These ropes contain more threads than normal to support dental hygiene in your pet, helping to remove plaque and tartar off your pet's teeth naturally as they chew.
Different Ways Pups Enjoy the Coconut Rope Toys
