A British owner bought his own dog, Scout, a yellow plastic ball toy, and he couldn't refuse a ball-to-play toy, and he couldn't let it go. Suddenly the master found out that Scout started to breathe, and his voice was particularly abnormal. And there's no sign of the toy ball. The owner immediately realized that Scout was stuck to the toy ball! I didn't think so. The ball was stuck in Scott's throat. Fortunately, there was a hole in the ball that kept him breathing!
Upon their arrival at the hospital, the pet doctor gave first aid and was fortunate to have succeeded in removing the toy ball and avoiding suffocation by Scout. Scout had a swollen throat and no other harm. It's only been a few hours since the owner got scared, and he almost lost his dog, just because of a toy ball!
The size of the toy isn't right.
Buying a dog a toy isn't just about face value! Dogs are not like people, playing with toys is basically using their mouths, chewing them up when they suck, and eating them up until they bite. So be alert. Any toy could be swallowed by a dog.
The size of a toy is also a factor that must be taken into account by the owner. What do you think it's for? The toy is too big, the dog's mouth has to be too big to bite and be uncomfortable, and the dog soon loses interest in the toy. They're too small, they're probably just like the one on the scout, and they swallow them when they get excited, they're stuck in their throats, their edibles and even their stomachs. Especially when buying toys for big dogs, it is important to look at the appropriate shape of the toy to avoid its misuse.
Large toy manufacturers also perform various tests of toys at the time of production, at least normally without harm to dogs. But there are so many dogs in the world that what happens when playing with toys can't be counted in billions. For the sake of the safety of the dog, the main candidate buys toys with an extra heart, with a more careful selection and less surprise.
1. Select a toy suitable for dog size. Too big a toy. Too small to swallow.
Note whether toy materials are safe to bite. Don't buy a toy with complex decorations on it. It's easy to be eaten by dogs. Other low-quality plastic toys contain a substance of phthalate, which is a plasticizer with some toxicity. Don't buy toys with special scents. Dogs may find them too exciting.
3. Buy toys according to their age. The larger-activity dogs may like to play ball-throwing and fly-board games; the more inward-looking dogs may like to be quiet with dolls; the younger dogs like to bite toys and grind toys when they change their teeth; the hounds prefer to smell toys, especially toys ... Pick toys, dogs like not to waste, or eat ash.
In addition, when a toy is playing with a piece of crap, it is better for the owner to take it away and throw it away or until the dog bites it. It's not just a toy. Just throw it to the dog!
