Abstract
A chew toy for dogs comprising a length of cotton rope formed of a plurality of cotton threads impregnated with fluoride particles so as to dispose the fluoride particles throughout the toy such that the cotton rope provides a gentle cleaning and flossing of the dog's teeth and massaging of the dog's gums when chewed and contains the fluoride for gradual release as the fluoride combines with the saliva on the teeth of the dog as the dog chews and/or tugs on the toy to prevent tooth decay. The fluoride particles are applied to the individual cotton fibers prior to forming the fibers into the length of rope to provide the desired fluoride distribution throughout the toy.
