Principles for Choosing Toys for Dogs
Border Collie (detailed introduction)
Toys not only help dogs expend excess energy and prevent them from feeling bored, but they are also very beneficial for improving their intelligence. Therefore, almost every dog-owning household more or less has some toys for their dogs. Of course, not everything can be used as a dog toy, so what are the principles for choosing toys for dogs? Let's find out.
When it comes to how to choose, you must pay special attention to the safety for the dog:
1. Material check: Smell the toy to see if there is any strange pungent chemical odor, feel the hardness or try pulling to see if the seams are firm. This is to avoid dogs licking toxic substances or accidentally swallowing hard parts or stuffing.
2. Moderate size: Toys that are too big are hard to bite; toys that are too small may cause accidental swallowing. So please choose a toy size that is just right according to your dog's mouth size.
3. Easy to clean: If dogs love to play a lot, toys will quickly be covered with wet and dry saliva, which can lead to bacteria growth. For the health of your dog and household hygiene, toys that can be washed with water and are not complicated to clean are the best choice.
So there are many things to pay attention to when choosing toys for dogs, and the most crucial is to focus on their safety. No matter what kind of toy it is, the first guarantee must be that it does not harm the dog; then consider whether it is suitable for the dog.
