🧵 How to Choose the Right Durable Dog Toy

🛡️ 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.
