Abstract
A chew toy for dogs comprised of a plurality of strands of soft pliable threads twisted about one or more strands of twisted or synthetic fibers so as to substantially encase and retain the fibers within the pliable threads. The twisted fibers are impregnated with one or more therapeutic dental agents such as fluoride and/or a breath freshening or flavoring agent so as to dispose the agent or agents within and along the length of the chew toy. Upon being chewed by a dog, the strands of soft pliable threads will provide a cleaning of the dog's teeth and a massaging of its gums and a portion of the impregnated agent or agents will be released onto the teeth and gums of the dog.
