109 - Chewing Naturally: Canophera's Mission for Healthier, Happier Dogs

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni chats with Jenn Johnson from Canophera, the original makers of all-natural coffee wood chews and sustainable dog toys. Jenn shares the story behind Canophera's mission to create safe, eco-friendly alternatives to plastic and nylon chews—using natural materials like coffee wood, coconut fiber, briar root, sheep horn, and red deer antler. Toni and Jenn dive into how Canophera began in Europe over a decade ago, the science and safety behind their products, and why choosing natural chews can make such a big difference for your pet's health. They discuss everything from sustainability and dental benefits to which chews are best for different dogs and how Canophera's innovative new toys are redefining playtime for pets. Along the way, they also talk candidly about real-life dog antics, responsible pet ownership, and how small companies like Canophera are challenging big-box norms to put safety and sustainability first.
