Labrador Retriever (detailed introduction)

　　We often worry about harmful plasticizers in plastic items, but plastic materials are widely used in dog toys. How can you choose safe, reassuring, and suitable plastic toys for your dog? Here are four tips that I will teach you to choose dog plastic toys.

　　1. Smell: When choosing plastic toys for your dog, it is recommended to smell them first. Good plastic does not have a particularly unpleasant odor. If the dog’s plastic toy has a strong smell, it is likely made of inferior plastic, and such "toxic" toys may harm your dog's health.

　2. Look: There are many types and shapes of plastic toys. It is suggested to choose according to your dog's breed and size. For example, if your dog is large, it is recommended not to choose toys that are too small to prevent accidental swallowing. Conversely, if the dog is small and the toy is too large, your dog may not be able to play with it. Good toys have smoother and rounder edges without peeling or cracking. Pay close attention when selecting to help you find better toys.

　　3. Squeeze: Good plastic toys have better elasticity, so they won’t be easily damaged when your dog bites or plays with them, making playtime more enjoyable. There are some toys on the market that make noise when played with, which are more popular among dogs, but you need to pay attention to the safety of these toys.

　　4. Choose Manufacturer: If two toys look similar, it is best to choose the manufacturer of the toy. Generally, products from larger manufacturers have better quality. Although it costs more, it is safer after all.
