Doggie Toys, Which Ones to Avoid
Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Not all dog treats and dog toys are safe for your dog. There’s a debate on whether or not you should give your dog rawhide to chew. I did once in awhile but didn’t make it a steady diet. Dog chews are a better choice. Your vet can tell you which ones are best.
Here are some things to avoid when it comes to dog toys
• Avoid the following!
- balls with single air holes, which can create a deadly suction trap;
- sticks and stones;
- heavily dyed toys;
- toys treated with fire retardants or stain guard;
- soft plastics.
• Always supervise your dog’s play time.
• Choose toys to fit your dog’s size and avoid those he can work to the back of his mouth.
• Select toys that match your dog’s play style.
• Keep a variety of dog toy types on hand; rotate to spark your dog’s interest.
• Don’t use toys as a substitute for interaction.
Remember, pets are family.
