Shop KONG Dental w/Rope Teeth Cleaning Dog Chew Toy

Red Rubber Dental Chew with Floss Rope and Denta-Ridges

Product Description

The KONG Dental with Rope is a dual-action dental toy combining patented Denta-Ridges on a KONG Classic red rubber body with an all-natural cotton floss rope. The ridges clean teeth and massage gums as dogs chew, while the rope flosses between teeth as it frays during tugging and chewing sessions. The stuffable grooves work with KONG Easy Treat, KONG Snacks, and Ziggies to extend chew time. Designed for average chewers.

Features

• Patented Denta-Ridges for plaque reduction
• Stuffable grooves for treats and paste
• Natural rubber body
• Rope flosses between teeth as it frays

Benefits

• Denta-Ridges Clean Teeth: The patented rubber ridges act as a gentle abrasive on teeth and gums during chewing.
• Rope Flosses Between Teeth: As dogs chew and tug on the cotton rope, the fraying action works between teeth like dental floss, adding a second cleaning layer to the rubber ridges.
• Stuffable for Extended Sessions: Filling the grooves with KONG Easy Treat, paste, or KONG Snacks gives dogs extra motivation to keep chewing.
• Two Textures in One Toy: The firm rubber ridges and soft cotton rope give dogs two distinct chewing textures, keeping them more engaged than a single-texture dental chew.
• Satisfies Natural Chewing Instinct: The KONG Classic red rubber formula gives dogs an appropriate and safe outlet for their natural drive to chew without the splintering risk of hard plastic or bone.

Variants

Available in two sizes:

• Small
• Medium

How to Use

Usage Instructions  

• Fill the grooves first: Spread KONG Easy Treat or a thin layer of peanut butter into the ridges and grooves before handing the toy over to give your dog.
• Let your dog chew the ridges: Allow your dog to work the grooves for treat access; the chewing action against the Denta-Ridges does the dental cleaning work.
• Use the rope for tug play: Hold the rope and let your dog grab the rubber end, or let them grab a rope end while you hold the other for a back-and-forth tug session.

Additional Information

Care Instructions   

• Rinse after stuffed sessions: Rinse the rubber body with warm water after each treat-stuffed session to remove residue from the grooves.
• Hand wash when needed: For a deeper clean, hand wash with soap and water; avoid the dishwasher to protect the integrity of the cotton rope and rubber body.
• Inspect the rope regularly: Check the cotton rope before each session for significant fraying, unknotting, or length reduction that could make loose thread pieces long enough to pose a risk.

Safety Instructions  

• Supervised use only: Always watch your dog during play; the cotton rope can fray and produce loose threads that could be swallowed if sessions go unsupervised for extended periods.
• Not for aggressive chewers: This toy uses KONG Classic rubber, designed for average chewers; dogs that chew hard and relentlessly can wear through the rope quickly.
• Remove if rubber is damaged: If the rubber body cracks, splits, or pieces begin to break off, remove the toy immediately and replace it to prevent your dog from swallowing rubber pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do the Denta-Ridges clean teeth?

Ans: The ridges are raised rubber formations on the surface of the toy that press against tooth surfaces and along the gumline as your dog chews. This mechanical contact acts like a gentle abrasive, scrubbing away plaque and helping reduce tartar buildup.

Q2: How does the rope floss teeth?

Ans: As your dog chews and tugs on the cotton rope, it naturally frays into thinner fiber strands. These strands work their way between teeth during chewing, replicating the way dental floss clears debris from between tooth surfaces.

Q3: Can the rope be replaced?

Ans: Yes. The cotton rope is replaceable, which means when the existing rope becomes too worn or short from chewing and fraying, you can swap in a new one without buying a whole new toy. This significantly extends the life of the rubber body during repeated use.

Q4: Is this toy good for aggressive chewers?

Ans: No. This toy uses KONG Classic red rubber, which is designed for average chewers. Aggressive or power chewers can wear through both the cotton rope and the rubber body faster than intended.

Q5: Is the cotton rope safe when it frays?

Ans: Yes, within supervised sessions. The rope is designed to fray as part of how it delivers the flossing benefit. The risk comes from very long loose strands that could be swallowed in larger pieces. Supervise chewing sessions and replace the rope before it becomes short enough for strands to become ingestion risks.
