🛡️ Dog Toy Safety: What Every Owner Should Know

The ASPCA recommends inspecting your dog's toys regularly and discarding any that show signs of damage.

Inspect weekly — check for fraying, cracking, loose parts.
Size matters — always choose a toy larger than your dog's mouth.
Supervise new toys — introduce with supervision until you know how your dog interacts with it.
Retire damaged toys immediately — a torn toy is a choking hazard.
Avoid toxic materials — all toys at Doggo Dream Shop meet safety standards.
