Dental health of our small animals is something most peopledon’t spend time thinking about, and yet it is vital to their overall health as it is for our cats, our dogs, an
d even us.

Nearly all small animals kept as pets belong to the order Rodentia (which literally means “to gnaw”) and one characteristic is that their teeth continue to grow throughout their entire lives. While rabbits are not in the same order (being members of the order Lagomorpha) but have the same feature with their teeth (this is why people think rabbits are rodents). They must chew on wood to keep their incisors short and trimmed.

Severe cases of malocclusion require a veterinarian’s intervention.
So how do we prevent this? Wooden chews! Fortunately, we have a wide assortment of sizes, colors, and shapes. Some can even be stuffed with paper or hay to hide treats inside for extra fun. Just a few of our top chews:

The Treat-K-Bob is a cool accessory to your cage. Designed to fit any of the Ware chews, it’s also a great place to put their veggies or treats so they have to work for them.
The Snak Shak is made with delicious fresh alfalfa and golden honey, making it 100 percent chewable. It gives your hours of stimulating play for your pet. It has a natural wood look, and the larger size can serve as a hidey hut.

The real key is variety – offer different types and shapes of chews, and be sure to change them out when they’ve been gnawed on for a bit.
