Wood from the coffee plant “Coffea canephora” is commonly called coffee tree wood. This wood is a byproduct of coffee farming. By selling it, coffee farmers in Vietnam can generate additional income.

Due to the extremely tight bond of the fibers, coffee tree wood hardly splinters and is significantly harder than the wood from our native forests.

Only fine wood fibers come off from these chew sticks and they do not splinter. The dog's saliva softens the wood fibers, making the pieces soft and flexible. The dog can swallow and digest these small flakes without any problem. The larger pieces that come off, pick up and discard.

While the chew sticks don't last forever, they should last your dog several, long chew sessions.

Chewing the stick and wearing it down creates a sense of achievement for a dog. Depending on the dog’s eagerness to chew and the strength of its jaw, the chew stick can last several weeks.

What matters most is choosing the right size for your dog based on its weight and chewing vigor.

Coffee tree wood is characterized by its very compact and fine structure. It is heavier and more resilient to handling than other forest wood. During the process of chewing, fine wood fibers are released by the dog’s saliva, making the pieces soft and flexible. These are harmless and can be digested without a problem. Larger pieces that come off, pick up and discard. Additionally, the dog is motivated by the sense of achievement.
