<p>This invention is a dog chew toy (10) comprising a length of cotton rope (12) formed of a plurality of cotton threads (14) impregnated with fluoride particles (16) so as to dispose the fluoride particles (16) throughout the toy (10) such that the cotton rope (12) provides a gentle cleaning and flossing of the dog's teeth and massaging of the dog's gums when chewed, and contains the fluoride (16) for gradual release as the fluoride (16) combines with the saliva on the teeth of the dog as the dog chews and/or tugs on the toy (10) to prevent tooth decay. The fluoride particles (16) are applied to the individual cotton fibers (14) prior to forming the fibers (14) into the length of rope (12) to provide the desired fluoride distribution throughout the toy (10).</p> |
