Briar Root Chews
Dog chews made of Briar Roots offer constant activity and playfully support dental care. These chews strengthen the dental muscles, promote the natural cleaning of teeth and are a great solution for the heaviest chewers.
Additionally, we don’t harm the environment in our production process. Our briar roots are sustainably-harvested by small family businesses in the traditional way by hand without the use of heavy machinery. This method keeps the forest intact and helps to preserve this unique landscape for future generations.
Briar is the root of the Heather Tree, which grows naturally in Europe. They don’t contain any traces of animal or artificial ingredients, calories, caffeine or sugar. They are most suitable for dogs that are the toughest chewers as well as overweight dogs or dogs that have allergies.

Tips for natural chews
Always monitor your pet while chewing.
We recommend only 20-minutes a day chew session.
Small pieces will come off while the dog chews. If larger pieces come off, pick up and discard.
What is a Briar Root?
Briar roots are the dense, durable burlwood from the Erica arborea (white heath) tree, primarily harvested in the Mediterranean, famous for making high-quality tobacco pipes due to its heat resistance and beauty, but also popular as long-lasting, all-natural chew toys for dogs, offering dental benefits and an outlet for aggressive chewers. They're sustainably gathered by hand, preserving forests, and valued for their hardness, making them ideal for tough chewing.
