Chew toys have advantages that other types of toys cannot match by promoting dental health, satisfying natural chewing instincts, reducing anxiety, providing lasting entertainment, and helping to relieve the discomfort of teeth replacement. They are especially suitable for dogs that need to chew a lot, and can effectively reduce destructive behavior and improve the quality of life of dogs.
1. Promote dental health
Chew toys help dogs clean their teeth through rubbing and chewing, remove plaque and tartar, and prevent oral problems (such as gingivitis and bad breath). Compared with other toys, chew toys have a direct oral health care effect, while plush toys or plastic toys usually do not have this function of cleaning teeth.
2. Satisfy chewing instinct
Dogs are born with the need to chew, and chew toys can satisfy this natural instinct. Long-term lack of suitable chewing objects may cause dogs to use inappropriate objects (such as furniture and shoes) to meet this need, resulting in destructive behavior. Chew toys provide a safe and healthy alternative, avoiding the destruction of household items.
3. Help relieve the discomfort of teeth replacement period
For puppies, chew toys can help them relieve the discomfort during teeth replacement and promote the healthy growth of new teeth.
Chewing toys are usually made of natural rubber or latex toys. Chewing toys made of rubber can clean the dog's teeth through friction, remove dental plaque and tartar, and prevent oral diseases. The rubber material is very strong and can withstand the test of long-term chewing by dogs. The hardness of rubber toys is moderate, which can provide clear chewing feedback for dogs. It can not only meet the dog's chewing needs, but also not be too hard to damage teeth.
