Safe Healthy Dog Toys


Dogs need something to do while your gone from home or while your busy around the house. Consider dog toys to keep happy and busy. Health and safety are just as important in dog toys as it is in dog food. Some dog toys have a hole on one side but not on the other. Two dogs got their tongues stuck in some of these toys and it resulted in surgically removing the toy and later removing the tongue due to the damage from the swelling. I have the link on the bottom of this blog so you can read about Chai's story. Toys need to keep you dogs busy, be strong enough to bear up to the chewing on chew toys, and be made of non-toxic ingredients
The picture above shows a variety of Kong dog toys that are safe and tough. They are designed for assisting proper dental care and fresh breath. 80% of dogs over 2 years old have gum disease. The signs are bad breath, rubbing their face often. If left untreated it could result in tooth loss and bone loss. If your dog has this problem see a vet to have their teeth cleaned and their gums cared for. You can help you dog have better teeth by providing toys like Kong Dental toys. While the dog chews the toy they are removing plaque and food debris. Crunchy dog buscuits also help remove tarter. Brushing their teeth 3 to 7 times a week helps tremendously.

Remember, toys help eliminate boredom. My dogs love to throw their own toys & balls and then fetch them. The entertainment never stops in my house. At least not until nap time.
To purchase Kong toys and other safe healthy dog toys go to: http://www.everythingnaturalpetfood.com/, click on More Pet Products and Pet Toys.

Remember, no toy is totally non-destructable so supervise your dog with new toys until you are confident they can handle it safely. Remember, safety first, especially for our pets who trust us to keep them safe and healthy.
