Dog Toys

Lots of people don't tend to have problems choosing out proper dog toys. When you go to the pet store, toys line the isles. Usually, you can trust the pet store and pick out whatever toys look cute to you! But be careful, dogs will chew on anything!

Thinks to keep in mind about dog toys:
  • Never buy toys with beads on them. Your dog can choke on them!
  • Find toys that will keep your dog entertained, like puzzle dog toys!
  • Buy toys that you're dog can't swallow! It's easy to buy for Chihuahua's but not so much for Great Danes. Make sure the toy is bigger then their mouth.
  • Only give your dog toys meant for a dog.
  • If it has a squeaker in it, make sure that right when your dog gets the squeaker, to not let him chew on it. Once again, it it possible for them to choke on it.
  •  Wash toy whenever it needs it so bacteria won't build up.
  • Make sure the toy you buy is very durable and will last your dog a long time.
  •  You can switch dog toys out every week-month so your dog won't get bored.
  •  It is important to through old dog toys away, once they are shredded to bits. Your dog can get lodged in his throat or intestine, and sometimes even cause intestinal blockage.
Dogs are very smart and often won't swallow what they play with, but you never know. My dog likes to eat anything and everything no matter the size or what it's made out of, and he's not even a puppy... (11 years old.)

Thanks for reading!
