Chew Toys
Chewing is a natural and necessary behavior for dogs. Chew toys help satisfy this instinct while promoting dental health and preventing destructive chewing. According to the American Veterinary Dental College, regular chewing can reduce plaque buildup and strengthen jaw muscles.
Benefits of Chew Toys:
- Support teething in puppies
- Promote oral hygiene and gum massage
- Reduce anxiety and boredom
- Prevent furniture and shoe damage
Types of Chew Toys:
- Rubber chew toys (durable and flexible)
- Nylon bones (long-lasting for aggressive chewers)
- Edible chews (digestible and flavorful)
- Rope toys (gentle on teeth and great for tugging)
Safety Tips: Choose size-appropriate, non-toxic materials. Supervise play and replace worn-out toys regularly.
