Level 1: The Gentle Selection
The Profile: Soft, pliable, and easily digestible.
The Purpose: Level 1 resources are designed for high-frequency use. Because they can be easily broken down, they are the essential tool for rapid-fire training and rewarding engagement without interrupting focus.
Expertly Screened For:
• Young Learners: Perfect for puppies (from 8–12 weeks) whose secondary teeth are still developing.
• Golden Years: Ideal for seniors with more fragile jaw strength.
• High-Stakes Focus: When you need a quick "pure-protein hit" for recall or scent-work.
Level 2: The Moderate Selection
The Profile: Firmer textures that offer a "Satisfying Chew."
The Purpose: Level 2 acts as the bridge between a reward and a task. These resources require more "jaw-work," which helps promote Oral Wellness and encourages Settled Behaviour through focused chewing.
Expertly Screened For:
• Daily Maintenance: Dogs who need a purposeful task to decompress after a walk.
• The "Looming Learner": Adolescents who are graduating from Level 1 but aren't yet "Power" chewers.
• Mental Calm: Using a firmer texture to lower the heart rate through the natural rhythm of chewing.
Level 3: The Power Selection
The Profile: Durable, intense, and long-lasting.
The Purpose: Level 3 resources are high-durability tools designed for Structural Health and maximum engagement. These provide the ultimate "occupational therapy" for dogs, offering a long-term task that supports Strong Foundations and joint agility.
Expertly Screened For:
• Strong Jaw Profiles: Breeds that require a durable outlet for their natural chewing instincts.
• Longevity: When you need a resource that provides 20+ minutes of focused enrichment.
• Oral Wellness: The intense texture provides a mechanical cleaning action for a Healthy Gum Line.
The "Flex" Philosophy
In the screening process, we recognise that dogs are individuals. That’s why you will see a "Level Flex" on many of our descriptions.
• A Level 2 resource for a Labrador might flex into a Level 3 task for a Toy Poodle.
• A Level 1 strip might flex into a Level 2 "chewing task" for a tiny puppy.
We provide the logic so you can make the best choice for your dog.
