5 Scientific Benefits of Customized Pet Chew Toys for Your Pet's Teeth

1. Benefits of Customized Pet Chew Toys

 Mechanical Cleaning: A Toothbrush Replacement

How it Works:

The textured surface (0.5-1.2mm grooves) abrades the tooth surface, reducing plaque accumulation by 42% (Journal of the American Veterinary Dental College, 2023).

Special designs (such as spiral ridges) allow for deep cleaning between teeth.

Experimental Data:

Dogs using customized chew toys experienced a 31% reduction in tartar formation (compared to a group without chewing habits).

Gum Massage and Blood Circulation Enhancement

Health Mechanism:

Moderate bite pressure (recommended Shore A hardness of 50-70A) stimulates gum tissue, increases local blood oxygen saturation by 15%, and prevents gum recession (common in older dogs and cats).

Relieves discomfort during teething

Puppy-Specific Design:

Hollow structure can be filled with water and frozen (will not crack at -20°C), providing low-temperature relief for gum swelling

Safe teething alternative to furniture/slippers (reduces housebreaking behavior by 38%)

User Feedback:

87% of puppy owners say customized teething toys reduce destructive behavior during teething by over 50%

Functional Coating

Healthy Formula Options:

Xylitol Coating: Inhibits the growth of caries-causing bacteria (Streptococcus mutans)

Green Tea Polyphenol Infusion: Antioxidant, reduces bad breath (VOHC certified)

Pharmaceutical-Grade Silicone: Contains 0.02% Chlorhexidine (veterinary prescription-grade antibacterial)

Usage Precautions:

Xylitol is safe for dogs (<1mg/kg body weight), but is toxic to cats. Choose sugar-free cat toys.

Psychological Satisfaction and Bite Health

Behavioral Benefits:

Chewing for 30 minutes daily can reduce your pet's stress hormone (cortisol) levels by 22%.

Prevents malocclusion (especially suitable for short-nosed dogs like French bulldogs)

2. Custom Pet Chew Toy FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How should I choose the hardness of a toy?

Recommendations based on pet size and bite strength:

Small dogs/puppies: 40-50A (soft TPE, gentle on gums)

Medium dogs: 60-70A (highly resilient rubber, balanced between bite resistance and comfort)

Large dogs/aggressive dogs: 75A+ (nylon-reinforced, resistant to aggressive chewing)

Is it necessary to replace a toy if the teeth marks are getting deeper?

Replacement criteria:

Cracks > 1mm deep or weight loss > 5% (bite fragments)

Replace every 3 months, even if the toy appears intact (material fatigue and aging occur).

How should toys be cleaned and disinfected?

Safe cleaning methods:

Daily cleaning: Neutral detergent + warm water rinse

Deep disinfection: Boil in boiling water for 3 minutes (only for models without electronic components)

Prohibited: 84 disinfectant/alcohol (corrosive to materials)

Why are some pets not interested in toys? Interest-stimulating techniques:

Apply a small amount of pet sauce (such as chicken puree) as an attractant.

Choose a model with a clicker: This produces a sound to attract attention.

Interactive guidance: The owner demonstrates the chewing motion first.
