chew toys

Dog mouth entertainment

Chew toys are objects designed for animals—especially dogs—to gnaw on.

They satisfy the instinct to chew, help clean teeth, and redirect destructive behavior away from furniture and shoes: The puppy destroyed three chew toys in a week.

Materials range from rubber and rope to rawhide and nylon.
