Choosing the Right Small Breed Dog Toys
Your small dog might think like a big one and bark loud, but when it comes to playing like a giant, they need your assistance in finding appropriate toys that match their playful spirit.
Toy Safety Tips for Small Dogs
Just like any canine size, smaller dogs have particular playthings in mind. We've outlined three essential tips you should consider while selecting toys for your little dog:
No matter the toy's size or your dog's breed, toys that are smaller than a ping-pong ball pose choking hazards. Stay away from items like dolls, household items with small parts, and chew toys that might break into pieces.
Soft toys filled with stuffing or contning squeakers are often favorite playthings for dogs but can lead to problems if swallowed. Be sure to regularly check your dog's toys for any signs of damage or wear, particularly those squeaky ones.
Small dogs require playtime too! However, oversized toys might not be enjoyable due to their smaller jaws. Opt for toys that are easy for them to pick up and play with comfortably.
