Getting a dog to sit still for toothbrushing is a battle most owners lose quickly. The Dog Toothbrush Chew Toy sidesteps the problem entirely — it is a rubber chew with dozens of flexible spines covering every surface, so as your dog naturally chews and gnaws on it, the spines scrub against teeth and massage the gum line without any effort on your part. The star shape means your dog gets a new angle of bristle contact with every shift in grip, cleaning multiple tooth surfaces during one session. Available as an Inner Core only, or as Inner Core + Shell for a fuller chew experience. Colours: Blue, Green and Yellow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Inner Core Only and Inner Core + Shell?
The Inner Core is the primary textured rubber chew piece with spines on all surfaces. The Shell variant adds an outer sleeve that fits over the core, giving your dog more to grip and a different chewing texture. Inner Core only is lighter and more flexible; Core + Shell is bulkier and suited to dogs that prefer a meatier chew.
Can I add toothpaste to it?
Yes — spread a small amount of dog-safe toothpaste across the spines before giving the toy to your dog. The spines hold the paste and distribute it across teeth as your dog chews. Never use human toothpaste on a dog — the fluoride content is toxic to dogs.
Is it safe if my dog chews pieces off?
The rubber is designed to resist tearing during normal chewing. Always supervise chew sessions and inspect the toy before each use. If the toy shows significant cracking, damage or pieces coming loose, replace it. This toy is not suitable for extreme power-chewer breeds that destroy rubber toys rapidly.
How do I clean it?
Rinse under warm running water after each session, working the spines to dislodge trapped debris. Soak in warm soapy water and scrub with an old toothbrush for a thorough clean. Rinse fully and air dry before returning to your dog.
