Why dog toys are unsafe sometimes Dogs are active pets with lots of energy to play and they love to play a lot. To keep dogs busy for long hours Dog Toys are most important. The dog can chew them,jump on them, shake them, suck on them, and love tearing them to pieces. Dog toys create lots of fun and become part of life. They can prevent behavioral problems of dog also. We know toys are important and should be given but there are some risks with dog toys. Why dog toys are unsafe? Toys made from plastic are more dangerous and harmful to dogs as well as humans. Mostly PVC Plastic is used to make toys. This PVC contains one chemical DINP(di-isononyl phthalate) used to make hard plastic soft and pliable, this can cause cancer. Right now U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in investigating this chemical for cancer risk and liver damage. Toys made in China may contain lead, chromium, and cadmium in higher amounts. If ingested by a dog this may lead to lead poisoning. Rawhide chews are pieces of cow skin which have been chemically treated, stretched and then dried into a variety of shapes (e.g. Knots, sticks, rings) which can be dangerous and may cause injuries. If ingested it can cause choking and if large piece is swallowed it may cause irritation and injury to the throat and oesophagus. Cow hooves can also be harmful. They can be broken off into sharp fragments which may lead to partial intestinal obstruction. If this is not diagnosed at early phase it may also be fatal. Pigs' ears and trotters can cause GI upset if overeaten by a dog. Some time we give some household items to play such as socks, shoes, treated wood, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, etc. Some of these materials may contain toxic chemicals which can be easily shredded and swallowed, causing intestinal damage. Wood and plastic can cause damage and injuries and infections. Stuffed toys are fun but can be harmful. During playing dog can swell it which may lead to choking and obstruction of the oesophagus. So under supervision stuffed toys must be given. Tennis balls and racquet balls are small in size which can be easily swallowed that may lead to choking. If you give rope toys for dogs they may ingest the strings of rope, causing digestive and gastrointestinal problems so these must be given under observation. So in brief these are some reasons why dog toys may be unsafe for the dog. You should always look for the safety of your dog before buying any dog toys.
