Full details
The KONG Dental Stick is an ideal choice for active dogs who enjoy both interactive play and satisfying chew sessions. Designed to promote oral health through its specialized textured surface, this durable toy doubles as a fetch tool and an enrichment feeder, though owners should note that it requires regular cleaning if used with sticky treat fillings to maintain hygiene.

FAQs
Is the KONG Dental Stick dishwasher safe?
Yes, you can place the Dental Stick on the top rack of your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
Can I use this for a dog that is a heavy chewer?
While durable, the Dental Stick is designed for moderate chewers. If you have an aggressive chewer, consider the KONG Extreme line.
What is the best way to clean the inside of the stick?
Use a small bottle brush or a toothbrush to ensure all food residue is removed from the Denta-Ridges.
Can I put this in the freezer?
Absolutely! Freezing the stick after filling it with treats is a great way to keep your dog busy for an extended period.
What sizes are available?
The Dental Stick comes in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large, catering to various dog breeds.
Is the material safe for my dog?
Yes, it is made of non-toxic, durable KONG rubber designed specifically for pet safety.
Troubleshooting
Treats are difficult to remove from inside the grooves
Soak the toy in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes to soften the residue, then scrub with a stiff-bristled brush.
My dog is losing interest in the toy
Try freezing the toy after stuffing it with treats or wet food; the cold texture can be more appealing and keeps the dog occupied longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you select the appropriate size for your dog’s weight and jaw strength—Small, Medium, or Large. When stuffing the toy, avoid overfilling the grooves to ensure your dog spends time licking rather than swallowing treats whole.
Care Instructions:
- After every use, especially when filled with food, rinse the toy with warm water.
- For deeper cleaning, use mild dish soap and a bottle brush to reach inside the grooves.
- Regularly inspect the rubber for any signs of wear or tearing; if the toy becomes damaged, remove it from play immediately.
- The toy is dishwasher safe on the top rack, but air drying is recommended to prevent mold buildup inside the crevices.
