Abstract
The present invention relates to a pet chew composition that is ductile and holds inclusions, such as fibers, hard components, and mixtures thereof. Any of a variety of polymeric materials can be used, as long as the resultant pet chew is sufficiently ductile and can hold the tooth-cleaning components in contact with a tooth, while a pet's teeth penetrate the polymer, or as the pet rubs its teeth on the polymer, while gnawing or chewing on the resultant pet chew.
