Good questions

Straight answers about The Grip Ring, the same way we’d give them over email.

All yak-chew questions
Why a ring instead of a bar?

Grip. Dogs that hold their chew between their paws keep a ring steady much more easily than a straight bar, so they chew longer and lose it less. Same cheese, better handle.

Is the ring safe once it wears thin?

Treat it like any churpi: once any part is small enough to fit fully in the mouth, take it away. Rings wear unevenly, so check the thin points as the session goes on.

My large dog loves holding chews. Ring or bar?

For big jaws we still recommend a large bar or the Power Slab. The ring’s cross-section is sized for small and medium dogs, and big paw-holders do fine with a long bar.
