Full details
The KONG Dental Stick is an ideal choice for dog owners seeking a multi-functional toy that combines dental hygiene with interactive play. Designed for dogs who love to chew and fetch, its durable rubber construction and unique ridges actively clean teeth and gums while keeping your pet entertained. While highly durable, it is important to note that this toy is primarily intended for supervised play, and owners should select the appropriate size based on their dog's chewing strength to ensure safety.

FAQs
Can the KONG Dental Stick go in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Is this toy safe for puppies?
Yes, but ensure you select the appropriate size and supervise the puppy to ensure they do not chew off pieces.
What if my dog accidentally swallows a small piece?
KONG rubber is non-toxic, but you should monitor your dog closely for signs of digestive upset and consult your veterinarian immediately if you are concerned.
How do I choose the right size?
Always choose a size that is large enough so that the dog cannot fit the entire stick into their throat.
Can I freeze the stuffed stick?
Absolutely. Freezing the stick after filling it with paste provides a longer-lasting challenge for your pet.
Troubleshooting
Treats are difficult to remove from the ridges
Soak the toy in warm water for a few minutes to soften the residue, then use a small scrub brush.
Dog loses interest in the toy
Increase the engagement level by stuffing it with a more enticing treat, such as a mix of kibble and low-sodium broth, or use it exclusively for interactive fetch games.
