What should I look for in dental & dog chew toys?

Dog playing with a dental toy

Choosing the right dog chew toy is about more than just looks. Here are four key features to keep an eye out for when choosing the perfect toy for your dog:

  • Durability: Choose toys made from robust materials such as rubber/latex, nylon, or thermoplastic rubber (TPR), which can often withstand chewing without splintering or breaking. If your dog is an enthusiastic chewer, consider tough dog toys designed for frequent use.
  • Safety: Avoid toys with small or loose parts that could be swallowed. Always supervise chewing and inspect toys for damage and replace them if needed.
  • Material quality: Choose high-quality, non-toxic options such as cotton, nylon, rubber/latex, or TPR. These materials are both sturdy and easy to clean, making them suitable for dog toys for large breeds and heavy chewers such as Bloodhounds.
  • Life stage suitability: Puppies usually need softer toys at first, progressing to tougher options as they grow. Adults benefit from larger, tougher toys, while senior dogs may require gentler materials.
