Just like human children, dogs love to have toys to play with.  Dog toys prevent boredom and problem behaviors later on in life, however some toys are not so safe for your pet.  Please read through this list for tips on choosing safe toys for your dog or puppy.

• Choose a toy appropriate for the size of your dog.  Large dogs should not have toys made for small dogs.  These can cause choking hazards if the dog accidentally swallows the toy.
