A shape paws can pin
The ring sits between front paws instead of shooting across the floor.
Why it wears our name
Watch a medium dog work a straight bar and you’ll see the problem: it skids, it flips, it vanishes under the couch and gets barked at. The Grip Ring is the same slow-dried yak cheese in a shape a dog can pin between its front paws and actually work on.
Less chasing means longer, calmer sessions and more real chewing per chew. It’s the collection’s pick for medium dogs, paw-holders, and anyone tired of retrieving cheese from under the furniture.
Same churpi credentials
Slow-dried yak cheese: high protein, low odor, three-ingredient label.
Calmer, longer sessions
Less skidding and chasing turns chew time into settle-down time.
Right-sized for the middle
Best for small and medium dogs with gentle to steady chewing styles.
Good questions
Straight answers about The Grip Ring, the same way we’d give them over email.
All yak-chew questionsYak chew size guideWhy 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.
