1. The size of the toy is related

       When a small toy loses a ball, it may get stuck in the dog's throat, causing a risk of choking. When choosing a toy for a child, don't forget to consider whether the size of the toy is suitable for the dog's body shape.

2. Natural branches are also good as toys

       Many owners like to use branches as toys that you throw and I pick up. But be careful that branches that are too large or heavy may cause neck injuries to the dog. In addition, the end of the branch may also poke the dog's mouth. If a dog starts gnawing on a branch, it must be taken away immediately, as the bitten fragments can also harm the dog.

3. The toys you throw away and I pick up are harmless.

       Many children like to play games you throw away and I pick up. When purchasing such toys, it is important to pay attention to whether they are too hard or heavy. A toy that is too hard can cause a child's teeth to break when picking it up, while a toy that is too heavy can harm the dog's head and neck.

4. Stuffed toys

       Many owners who have owned a dog should have seen the scene where the stuffed toy (stuffed toy) for the dog is quickly broken down. Seemingly amusing behavior, but once a dog eats cotton in a stuffed toy, it may harm not only its body but also your wallet.

5. Don't touch battery toys

       Do not buy toys with batteries for your little ones or any dogs to play with. Dogs' biting nature may bite and accidentally eat the batteries in the toys when you are not paying attention.

6. Pay attention to the composition of the toy

       Next time you purchase a dog toy, remember to first check if the toy contains any toxic ingredients. Especially when purchasing plastic toys, attention should be paid to whether they contain toxic ingredients such as phenolic methane (BPA) or phthalate esters (PAEs).

7. seemingly harmless tug of war toys can also be dangerous

       Owners with hairy children often purchase socks, not because they are sock controllers, but because in the eyes of dogs, socks are toys for playing tug of war. Although tug of war games can enhance interaction between owners and dogs, not every child is suitable for playing such games. Please confirm with your veterinarian if your dog has any health issues with the neck or back. Also, don't forget to let the dog play with such toys alone to prevent the rope from getting entangled in the dog's respiratory tract and causing danger. In addition, the puppy's teeth are not yet firmly ingrained, so parents strive to master them well, otherwise the baby may become crooked teeth!

8. Do not let your dog play with "line" shaped objects

       Don't let your dog play with ropes, rubber bands, stockings, or any slender objects. Eating them by mistake can cause serious intestinal problems.

9. Cow bones also need to be carefully selected

       Many owners like to chew on cow bones for their children to release stress. However, improper biting and swallowing may still cause the dog to choke or cause gastrointestinal obstruction. A good manufacturing process is also important, and inferior cow bones can also infect young children with diseases. Pay special attention to bone debris, bone fragments, etc.

10. Learn more for your little child

       Dogs' toys are usually not subject to strict ingredient labeling regulations, so as owners, we should pay more attention to whether the manufacturer's reputation is good and whether there are any bad records!
