A Safe, Natural Chew for Redirecting Chewing Behaviour
Our Root Chews for Dogs are long-lasting, natural chews made from sustainably harvested heather root. Designed to safely redirect chewing behaviour, they provide dogs with the satisfaction of gnawing without the risks associated with outdoor sticks or household furniture.
Heather root chews are naturally tough, low odour, and gradually wear down as your dog chews. Small, soft fibres break away rather than sharp splinters, making them a safer alternative to found wood.

Suitable for Puppies from 12 Weeks+
Root chews are suitable from 12 weeks+, when puppies begin to experience teething and increased chewing urges. At this stage, chewing can help soothe sore gums and may even assist with loosening wobbly baby teeth.
Providing an appropriate chew during this stage helps redirect chewing away from furniture, skirting boards, and other household items.
Supports Teething, Dental & Jaw Health
The firm, natural texture of heather root helps support dental hygiene by gently reducing plaque and tartar buildup through mechanical chewing. Regular gnawing also helps strengthen jaw muscles and satisfy natural chewing instincts.
Low Odour & Long-Lasting
Root chews are extremely low odour, making them ideal for use indoors. Their dense structure makes them a very long-lasting chew, keeping dogs mentally engaged and occupied for extended periods.
Simple, Natural Ingredients
- Ingredients: 100% Heather Root
- Finished with olive oil
- No additives or preservatives
- Free from grain, gluten, and rawhide
Each root chew is carefully sanded smooth and finished with olive oil to enhance durability and natural appeal.
As this is a natural product, size, shape, and weight will vary. Root chews are graded by weight rather than length.
Responsibly & Sustainably Sourced
Our root chews are harvested by hand from heather roots in protected areas within the UK. Only the tuber of the root is collected, allowing the plant to regrow naturally, making these chews an eco-sustainable choice.
