Stuffed Toys | Hazards for Pets

Stuffed toys are cute and boy do our pets love them! 🐶💕

The things that are usually most attractive to dogs are often the very things that are the most dangerous. Follow our tips to keep your dog safe when playing with stuffed toys:

🧸 Make sure your teddy is placed in a safe place and doesn’t have any small parts like plastic ears or noses that your pet may swallow. Avoid or alter any toys that aren’t “dog-proof” by removing ribbons, strings, eyes or other parts that could be chewed off and ingested.

🧸 Discard toys when they start to break into pieces or are torn.

🧸 Check labels on stuffed toys to see that they are labelled as safe for children under three years of age and that they don’t contain any dangerous fillings. Problem fillings include nutshells and polystyrene beads, but even “safe” stuffings aren’t truly digestible.

🧸 Remember that soft toys are not indestructible, but some are sturdier than others. Soft toys should be machine washable.

🧸 Supervise your dog at all times when they are playing with stuffed toys.
