How to Choose a Dog Toy: 2 Important Points

The choice and purchase of a toy for a dog should be approached responsibly, almost the same way as when buying a toy for a child.

This is not a luxury at all, as many people think, but a necessary thing that will brighten up the dog's everyday life while the owner is not at home. It is only important not to make a mistake with the choice.

In addition to the fact that the toy should interest the pet itself, you need to pay attention to two important points.

Safety first

It is worth considering the physical characteristics of your four-legged friend. A large dog does not need small toys - it will swallow them. If the toy is equipped with a "squeaker", then it is possible that the dog, out of curiosity, may damage the object while looking for the source of the sound. In this case, small pieces will be eaten.

There should be no small parts on the product. The dog will bite them off and swallow them on the first day.

Soft toys are also not suitable, because if the shell is damaged, the dog will certainly get to the filler.

Material and shape

Most often, toys made of dense rubber are chosen, which is not so easy to chew. You can choose a ball, rings, discs or a bone.

Be prepared that edible toys may only last a couple of hours for an adult dog. In addition, you need to consider that the animal will want to take the product outside.

The most practical are products with an uneven surface, which massage the gums and help maintain healthy teeth.

And don't expect the toy to last long. You may have to make purchases every month.
