GNAW & ORDER
Chewing Enrichment Progam
At QK Dogs in Connecticut, we understand that chewing is more than just a habit—it’s a natural, healthy instinct for your canine companion. But without the right guidance, your dog’s chewing can lead to destructive behaviors and serious dental health issues.
Step Into Your Dog’s Story
You want a calmer, happier, and healthier dog. And QK is here to provide a proven plan with our Gnaw & Order Chewing Enrichment Program, a science-backed, structured experience designed to take the guesswork out of chewing.
The Problem
-
Destructive Chewing: Without an appropriate outlet, dogs turn to furniture or shoes, causing frustration for you—and an unsatisfied pup.
-
Dental Troubles: According to the AKC, 90% of dogs over two suffer from some level of periodontal disease—often starting as early as 2.5 years old.
-
Unchanneled Energy & Stress: Dogs lacking structured chew time can experience higher stress levels, excessive barking, and other anxiety-related behaviors.
The Solution: Gnaw & Order Chewing Enrichment with Private, Focused Chew Sessions
Your dog enjoys distraction-free, individually guided chew sessions—free from competition and resource guarding—leading to optimal mental and physical benefits.
Timed & Varied Chews
We use short, timed chewing intervals proven to be more effective than unlimited access. Your pup stays engaged and positively tired, thanks to our rotating selection of premium dog chews with exciting flavors and textures.
