GiGwi Toothbrush Stick Rubber Dental Chew with Crackle Sound

The GiGwi Toothbrush Stick Rubber Dental Chew is shaped like a toothbrush on purpose -- the bristled rubber surface works between the teeth and along the gumline while your dog chews it. Inside there is a crackle sound rather than a squeaker, which is quieter and tends to hold interest longer.

Key Features

• Toothbrush shape: The bristled surface reaches the sides of the teeth, not just the chewing surface.
• Crackle sound: A crinkling noise instead of a squeak -- less piercing indoors, and often more interesting to a dog.
• Rubber, not nylon: Softer than a hard chew, so it is kinder to teeth than rigid plastic.
• Stick shape: Long enough to throw and to hold for a gentle tug game.
• Gum massage: The bristles press against the gums while your dog works on it.

Getting Real Dental Benefit

• Chewing helps with soft plaque. It does not shift tartar that has already hardened on.
• A toy like this works best alongside brushing, not instead of it.
• Spread chewing across the day rather than one long session -- most of the benefit is in the regularity.

Good To Know

• A chew toy helps with plaque but it is not a substitute for brushing or for a vet dental. If you can see tartar, red gums or a broken tooth, book the vet.
• It is a toy, not a treat or a chew to be eaten. If your dog is swallowing pieces, take it away.
• No toy is indestructible. Check it over before every session and bin it once it splits, frays or starts shedding pieces, because swallowed fragments cause blockages.
• Wash by hand in warm water with a little mild soap, rinse well and let it dry fully before giving it back.
• Not a children's toy. Keep it with the pet's things.
