Teeth-Scrubbing Chew Toys

The Yunfan Tan Q-Ring Dog Toy Cleans Canine Teeth

— October 2, 2012 — Lifestyle
The funky, but functional shape of the Yunfan Tan Q-Ring dog toy starts cleaning as your dog starts chewing. The ring is easy to hold onto, letting you play around with your pet while simultaneously ensuring he gets a good scrub, and the nub on the end gives him a great grip for his teeth.

It may be difficult and clumsy work trying to brush your dog's teeth, but this rubber toy makes it a hassle-free activity. Simply squeeze toothpaste onto the nub of the Q-Ring and let your dog grab it. As he chews, you twist the handle so that his teeth are being brushed while his gums are being stimulated.

The Yunfan Tan Q-Ring also doubles as a frisbee, making this a fun toy that is also functional.
