Chewing is an important activity for your dog to engage in; choose the right size, texture, and kind of chew toy.
BARK offers a super chewer box! It is worth it especially for a dog that has a bad habit of destroying toys.

Texture – The texture of a toy creates a unique play experience for your dog. Typically, smaller dogs like smooth and soft toys, while bigger ones like the rougher toys.
