The 2025 Guide to Buying Dog Chews Online in Canada

Why Natural Dog Chews Are a Big Deal in 2025

If you're like most dog parents, you've probably found yourself standing in front of a wall of dog chews wondering, “What’s actually worth buying?” With more brands than ever making big claims about dental benefits, boredom busting, and “all-natural” ingredients, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why 2025 is the year of clarity - and quality.

At Brindle Pet Supplies, we’re seeing a growing shift toward natural, single-ingredient dog chews. Dog lovers across Canada are ditching synthetic chews, rawhide and non-digestible bones for bully sticks, collagen chews, and fully-digestible alternatives that support dental health and provide a safer, longer-lasting chewing experience.

But not all chews are created equal. And when you're shopping online, it's not always easy to spot the winners. That’s where this guide comes in.

Why Natural Dog Chews Are Worth the Hype

In 2025, the dog chew aisle is more crowded than ever - but not all chews are created equal. Natural dog chews are becoming the top choice for pet parents who want a safer, healthier way to satisfy their dog’s urge to chew. Here’s why they’re leading the pack:

Digestibility Matters

Unlike synthetic chews or traditional rawhide, which can splinter or cause blockages, natural dog chews like bully sticks, collagen sticks, beef tendons, and esophagus strips are fully digestible and made from single ingredients. This means fewer surprises for your dog’s stomach - and less worry for you.

Cleaner Teeth, Happier Mouths

Long-lasting dog chews do more than entertain - they support dental health by naturally scraping away plaque and tartar. Many Canadian pet parents use chews as a supplement to brushing, especially for dogs who don’t love having their teeth brushed. They're a great addition to a dental routine that includes PlaqueOff Dental Powder. 

Chews That Soothe and Satisfy

Chewing is more than a physical activity - it’s mental stimulation. Natural chews help reduce boredom, curb destructive chewing, and ease anxiety. This is especially helpful for puppies, power chewers, and anxious dogs who need a constructive outlet.

The Rise of Single-Ingredient and Sustainably Sourced Options

Pet parents are demanding transparency - and for good reason. Chews from brands like RedBarn and Purely Paws are leading the charge with single-ingredient, minimally processed options that align with the growing demand for cleaner, natural treats made from ethically sourced animal parts.

Types of Dog Chews: Which One’s Right for Your Pup?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to dog chews. The best choice depends on your dog’s breed, age, chewing strength, and health needs. Here’s a quick look at the most popular all-natural dog chews available at Brindle Pet Supplies - and what makes each one worth considering:

• Bully Sticks
• Collagen Dog Chews
• Bull Tails
• Beef Cheeks
• Tendon Dog Chews
• Esophagus Sticks
  

Bully Sticks: Still the Gold Standard for Natural Chewing

When it comes to natural dog chews, bully sticks remain the reigning champ. Made from 100% beef pizzle, these chews are single-ingredient, fully digestible, and loved by dogs of all sizes for their rich flavour and satisfying texture.

Why Dogs (and Humans) Love Them

Dogs are naturally drawn to the scent and taste of bully sticks - and when they’re properly sourced and dried, they’re not just tasty, but safe. Unlike rawhide, bully sticks don’t splinter and are easier to digest, making them one of the most reliable long-lasting dog chews available online.

Sizing and Safety Tips

Always match the bully stick size to your dog’s chewing habits. Power chewers and larger breeds may benefit from thicker or longer sticks, like the RedBarn 12” Bully Stick, while smaller dogs may do better with thinner or 6” options. Supervision is recommended, especially once the chew gets small enough to become a choking hazard.

Why a Subscription Makes Sense

If your dog can’t get enough of these, a bully stick subscription keeps you stocked up without the hassle of reordering. Brindle Pet Supplies offers flexible auto-delivery on top products like the Purely Paws Low-Odour Bully Sticks, so your pup never has to go without their favourite chew. Save 5% on all autoship orders.

Collagen Dog Chews and Why They’re the New Bully Stick

Move over bully sticks - collagen chews are quickly earning top billing with Canadian pet parents who want long-lasting chews that support whole-body health. Made from the inner layer of beef skin (not to be confused with rawhide), collagen sticks are tough, flavourful, and packed with health benefits.

Why Collagen Sticks?

Unlike traditional chews that only satisfy the urge to gnaw, collagen chews actively support your dog’s health from the inside out. They’re rich in amino acids that promote better joint mobility, skin elasticity, coat shine, and gut health. They’re also easy to digest and hold up to heavy chewers.

Purely Paws Collagen Sticks: Canadian and Clean

Our top pick? Purely Paws Collagen Sticks. Made from grass-fed beef, these chews are naturally air-dried, free from artificial additives, and crafted right here in Canada. They’re ideal for dogs who love to chew but need something a little different from the usual bully stick.

More Collagen Options to Explore

In addition to Purely Paws, Brindle Pet Supplies offers a growing range of collagen-rich chews, including braided varieties and collagen wraps, perfect for keeping dogs engaged longer.

Why pet parents are making the switch:

• Extra tough for extended chew sessions
• Health-boosting for joints, coat, and skin
• Canadian-made options with clean ingredients

Beyond the Basics: Beef Cheeks, Tendons, and Bull Tails

If you're looking to level up your chew game with unique textures and added benefits, beef cheeks, tendons, and bull tails are becoming go-to choices for dog parents who want variety, nutrition, and lasting engagement.

Beef Cheeks: Tough Yet Tasty

Unlike rawhide, beef cheek chews are made from the inner cheek of the cow and are much easier to digest. Their thick, fibrous texture makes them ideal for long-lasting chewing sessions, especially for dogs who love a good challenge. Look for RedBarn Beef Cheek Rolls or Bully Slices for a safe, flavour-packed option that also helps clean teeth as your pup chews.

Tendons: The Soft-Jointed Superstar

Beef tendons are rich in natural collagen and glucosamine, making them a great choice for joint health - especially for senior dogs or those with active lifestyles. They have a tough, sinewy texture that keeps dogs busy, but they’re still gentle on teeth and gums.

Bull Tails: The Underrated Winner

Bull tails are high in protein and low in fat, and their natural shape offers a great dental workout. As they break down, they help scrape away plaque and massage gums, making them a smart pick for dogs who need dental support but prefer something less conventional.

🛒 Top Picks from brindlepets.ca:

• RedBarn Beef Cheek Natural (Small and Large)
• RedBarn Beef Cheek Glazed (Small and Large)
• RedBarn Beef Cheek Bully Glazed (Small and Large)

Why dog parents love them:

• Long-lasting, single-ingredient
• Great for joint, dental, and mental health
• Unique textures that keep even picky chewers engaged

Esophagus Sticks: The Hidden Gem of Digestible Chews

If your dog has a sensitive stomach or is ore of a gentle chewer, esophagus sticks (also known as gullet sticks) might just be your new favourite discovery. These chews are softer than bully sticks, highly digestible, and packed with natural chondroitin and glucosamine, which support joint and cartilage health.

What Makes Them Special?

Esophagus sticks are air-dried to lock in flavour and nutrition, offering a chewy texture that satisfies without the toughness of more aggressive chews. They’re also great for puppies, senior dogs, or light chewers who still love to gnaw but can’t handle heavy-duty options.

Why They're a Customer Favourite

What to Consider Before You Buy Dog Chews Online in Canada

Choosing the right chew for your dog is about more than just picking the longest stick on the shelf. When shopping for dog chews online in Canada, it’s essential to match your dog’s chewing style, age, and size with a safe, appropriate option.

Size, Age and Chew Style Matter

A gentle puppy needs a soft chew for teething, while an aggressive adult chewer might need a durable option like a 12” bully stick or a bull tail. Senior dogs may benefit from collagen sticks or esophagus chews, which are easier on aging teeth and joints.

Read the Ingredients (Or Lack of!)

Avoid chews with artificial preservatives, fillers, or synthetic coatings. The best dog chews are single-ingredient, all-natural, and easy to digest - like the RedBarn, Purely Paws, and Open Range selections found at Brindle Pets.

• Always supervise chew time, especially with a new type of chew
