How To Select The Right Toy For My Dog?

Dogs are playful and will probably play with anything you give them, they keep bringing the stick for you to throw again, right? Well, playing with sticks is not always safe for your dog… they can cause serious injuries on your dog’s mouth, tongue, and throat!

Playing time should be all about fun and without worries about safety. To save you some time, we created a list you can go through when you’re shopping for dog’s toys.

Safety

Examine the toy to make sure there are no glued parts that can fall off and be swallowed, sharp parts that can cause injuries, and read the label to determine if the material is not toxic.

Durability

We have to acknowledge that no dog toy is indestructible, but you can definitely find toys will entertain your dog for a longer time. Hard rubber, fibrous, and double stitched toys will last longer. Tug toys are made with a resistant material that will definitely last longer.

Size

The toy must be proportional to the dog’s size. Buying your dog, a toy that is too big or too small for them may frustrate and discourage them from playing with it. An unsuitable dog toy size may also cause injuries to the dog’s jaw.

Design

There are several toy designs and categories! Everything from balls to plushies. You need to observe your furry friend to find out what they prefer. In the end, what really counts is what they like.
