Safe Toys For Your Dog

When purchasing toys for your dog, don’t forget to exercise precaution.

Avoid potential choking hazards such as toys with breakable doors, glued-on or removable parts.

Make certain the noise box in squeaky toys cannot come out during rough play.

Choose toys which are made from durable and wear resistant materials such as vinyl, nylon, and latex. Toys made from hard rubber are better than softer materials which may shred or tear.

Avoid playing with old shoes, socks or any other item which may be off limits under different circumstances. Using these items as toys makes your dog think it’s OK to play with them even if they aren’t his toys.

Look for brightly colored toys which will keep your dog entertained. Food dispensing and chase toys are two great time occupiers.

Avoid tug of war games which support aggression tendencies. Tugging on a toy may be acceptable. Tugging on your clothes is not. Tug of war games with your puppy may also damage the alignment of your dog’s teeth.

Vary your dog’s toys as she gets older. What might keep a puppy entertained for hours may not hold the same allure for an older dog.
