3. Stress Relief and Emotional Balance
Chewing has a naturally calming effect on dogs, much like meditation or yoga for humans. The rhythmic act of chewing helps release endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which can soothe mild anxiety and promote emotional balance. Whether it’s during stressful situations like thunderstorms or simply after a busy day, chewing can provide a sense of comfort and security for your furry friend.
4. Boredom Reduction and Positive Behavior
A bored dog can often become a destructive dog. Chewing offers a healthy, productive outlet for dogs to channel their energy and stay occupied. By keeping your pup mentally and physically engaged, chewing helps prevent unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, digging, or chewing on household items. Providing appropriate chews can be a great way to redirect their energy and satisfy their natural instincts.
