With Christmas coming and more people buying gifts for their pets each year. I thought I would create a list of items that would help you as a pet parent made good choices when picking out toys for your pets.
1. Choose Toys that are made in the US or Europe over those made from other countries. US and Europe have higher standards for safety then any other country.
2. Read labels, check manufacturer's websites or call to ask if their products are test for toxicity and what levels there.
3. Inspect the toys for loose parts and pieces that might easily come off and be come a choking hazard.
4. Don't give children's toys to dogs. They may chew off parts of the toys and choke on them.
5. Remember- that no toy is indestructible. If you have a heavy chewer then buy products made of durable material such as rubber.
6. Buy toys that will fit your dog. Don't buy toys that are too small for your dog since they can choke on the small toys. If you are buying toys for several dogs then buy toys for the largest dog.
7. Don't ever leave your dog unattended with a new toy.
