Why All-Natural Dog Chews Matter for Canadian Pet Parents

Let’s be honest - not all chews are created equal. Some are basically the “fast food” of the dog world: gone in 30 seconds, packed with mystery fillers, and leaving you wondering if your pup actually got anything out of it besides a tummy grumble. That’s where all-natural, long-lasting dog chews step in.

At Brindle Pet Supplies, we see firsthand why Canadian dog parents are switching to natural options like collagen sticks, bully sticks, beef esophagus, beef cheeks, and bull tails. These chews don’t just taste great (according to every drooly customer review we’ve ever read) - they also come with real benefits:

• Dental health support: the natural gnawing action helps reduce plaque and tartar buildup. Your vet (and your dog’s breath) will thank you.
• Stress and anxiety relief: chewing is one of the most natural ways for dogs to calm themselves. If your pup gets restless during thunderstorms, car rides, or when you leave for work, a natural chew can be their new coping mechanism.
• Digestibility: unlike some synthetic chews or rawhides that can upset tummies, natural options from trusted brands like RedBarn and Purely Paws break down more easily.
• Longer-lasting enjoyment: instead of disappearing faster than a dropped piece of bacon, these chews actually hold up, keeping your dog engaged for longer.
• Great addition to their normal food routine including kibble, freeze-dried or dehydrated food.

And because you’re shopping with a Canadian company, you don’t need to worry about shipping surprises or sketchy imports - when you buy dog chews online in Canada from Brindle Pets, you’re choosing products that are carefully sourced, safe, and delivered fast.

The Chew Test Quick Comparison: Which Natural Chew Fits Your Pup?

Before we dive deeper into each chew, here’s a quick side-by-side look at the five all-natural dog chews Canadian pet parents love most. 

Collagen Sticks: The Canadian Favourite for Gentle but Lasting Chews

If you’ve ever wished your dog’s chew was more than just a five-minute distraction, collagen sticks might be your answer. At Brindle Pet Supplies, our customers love them because they strike the perfect balance between digestibility, durability, and health benefits.

Unlike rawhide (which has earned its fair share of side-eye from vets), collagen sticks are fully digestible and packed with protein that supports muscle strength, joint health, and shiny coats. That means your pup isn’t just chewing for fun - they’re chewing for wellness.

Why Dog Parents Love Collagen Sticks

• Gentle but durable - ideal for puppies, seniors, and moderate chewers.
• Digestible & natural - breaks down easily in the stomach, no scary blockages.
• Joint & skin support - natural source of collagen for mobility and coat health.
• Less stink, more chew - compared to some other chews (looking at you, pig ears).

Brindle Picks: Purely Paws Collagen Sticks

Our exclusive Canadian brand, Purely Paws, has become a customer favourite for collagen chews. Made from single-ingredient, all-natural beef collagen, these sticks are a safer, longer-lasting alternative to rawhide. Plus, because they’re part of the Purely Paws line, you’re supporting a Canadian company while giving your pup a chew you can trust.

Bully Sticks: The Classic Long-Lasting Chew Canadian Dogs Swear By

When it comes to long-lasting dog chews, bully sticks are the gold standard. They’ve been keeping Canadian dogs busy (and carpets safe from boredom chewing) for years. Unlike synthetic chews or bones that can splinter, bully sticks are all-natural, fully digestible, and protein-packed.

For pet parents, they’re more than just a treat - they’re a lifesaver during Zoom calls, dinner prep, or any time you need 30 minutes of peace and quiet.

Why Dog Parents Love Bully Sticks

• Durable distraction – a go-to choice for heavy chewers.
• High in protein – supports muscle health and overall nutrition.
• Digestible & natural – safer than rawhide or plastic-based chews.
• Calming effect – great for dogs with anxiety, boredom, or crate training.
• Subscription-friendly – keep the chews coming with a bully stick subscription so you never run out.

Brindle Picks: RedBarn Bully Sticks

At Brindle Pet Supplies, RedBarn bully sticks are one of our top sellers - and for good reason. They’re available in multiple sizes, made with single-ingredient beef, and sourced from trusted suppliers. Pair that with Brindle Pets’ fast Canada-wide shipping or set up a bully stick subscription for stress-free restocking, and you’ve got one of the easiest ways to keep your dog (and your furniture) happy.

Beef Esophagus: The Underrated Chew with Big Benefits

Beef esophagus might not sound glamorous, but don’t let the name fool you - dogs go crazy for it. These chews are softer and easier to chew than bully sticks, making them a great choice for small to medium dogs or pups that don’t have jaws of steel. They are better suited as a daily snack rather than a long-lasting chew. 

Why Dog Parents Love Beef Esophagus

• Easier to chew – perfect for puppies, seniors, and smaller breeds.
• Naturally rich in glucosamine – supports joint health.
• Novel protein – a great option for dogs with food sensitivities.
• High palatability – even picky eaters can’t resist.

Brindle Picks: Purely Paws Beef Esophagus

Part of our exclusive Purely Paws line, these chews are single-ingredient, natural, and air-dried to lock in flavour. They’re a fantastic “everyday” chew for dogs that need something satisfying but not too tough.

Beef Cheeks: A Tasty Twist on Long-Lasting Chews

Looking for something different? Beef cheeks deliver a unique chewing experience that’s both durable and delicious. They’re thicker than most chews but not quite as dense as bones, giving dogs a new texture to sink their teeth into.

Why Dog Parents Love Beef Cheeks

• Durable – long-lasting without being rock-hard.
• Flavorful – high in natural beef taste.
• Supports jaw strength – great exercise for heavy chewers.
• Exciting variety – offers something different from standard chews.

Brindle Picks: RedBarn Beef Cheeks

RedBarn’s beef cheeks are customer favourites for their quality and consistency. Dogs love the taste, and pet parents love that they’re natural, safe, and long-lasting. They come in many options including:

• RedBarn Natural Beef Cheek - Small
• RedBarn Natural Beef Cheek - Large
• RedBarn Glazed Beef Cheek - Small
• RedBarn Glazed Beef Cheek - Large
• RedBarn Bully Glazed Beef Cheek - Small
• RedBarn Bully Glazed Beef Cheek - Large

Bull Tails: The Power Chew for Hours of Engagement

Last but definitely not least: bull tails. These chews are the heavy hitters of the lineup, built for serious chewers who can shred through anything else you put in front of them.

Why Dog Parents Love Bull Tails

• Ultra-durable – one of the longest-lasting natural chews.
• Unique texture – tough but still digestible.
• Engages power chewers – keeps them busy for hours.
• Great boredom buster – ideal for dogs left alone during the workday.

Brindle Picks: Open Range Bull Tails

The Open Range bull tails are a Canadian customer favourite for tough chewers. Made from natural beef, they’re as close as you’ll get to an indestructible chew - without the risks of synthetic toys or rawhide.

RedBarn vs. Purely Paws: A Brand Showdown

You’ve seen these names throughout the Chew Test, and for good reason. Both RedBarn and Purely Paws deliver quality, consistency, and natural goodness. Here’s how they compare:

• RedBarn – trusted globally, known for their bully sticks and beef cheeks. Reliable quality and wide availability.

• Purely Paws – a Canadian-owned brand, exclusive to Brindle Pet Supplies. Known for collagen sticks, esophagus, and bull tails that are natural, affordable, available in resealable bulk packs and subscription-ready.

The truth? You can’t go wrong with either. Many Canadian dog parents mix and match, keeping both in rotation to give their pups variety.

How to Choose the Right Chew for Your Dog

Not sure which chew to try first? Here are a few tips:

• Size matters – match the chew to your dog’s size and chewing power.
• Consider sensitivities – choose novel proteins (like esophagus) if your dog has allergies.
• Chew style – heavy chewer? Try bull tails or beef cheeks. Gentle gnawer? Collagen or esophagus might be better.
• Anxiety buster – bully sticks and bull tails are fantastic for calming stressed pups.
• Keep variety – rotating chews keeps your dog engaged and supports dental health.

Safety Tips for Natural Dog Chews

A quick reminder: even with the best dog chews, safety comes first.

• Always supervise your dog while chewing.
• Choose the right size chew - too small can be a choking risk.
• Replace or discard when the chew becomes small enough to swallow.
• Provide fresh water alongside chews.
