Choosing Safe and Durable Pet Toys: What Every Pet Owner Should Know

May 25, 2023

As a pet owner, there’s nothing more heartwarming than watching your furry friend romp around with a new toy. This simple joy, however, can turn into worry when you’re unsure if the toy is safe or durable enough for your pet. In the vast, colorful world of pet toys, making the right choices can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

 

In this article, we will walk you through the process of selecting the best pet toys from our extensive catalog.


1. Understand Your Pet


Each animal companion has its own individual personality, habits, likes, and dislikes. Consider your pet's personality and play style much like you would a child's age and interests when choosing a toy. Some pets enjoy the challenge of wresting a toy away from their human owner during a game of tug-of-war. Some animals, however, would rather engage in a more contemplative sort of play, such as nibbling on a chew toy or chasing a dangling object.

 

But familiarity with your pet extends beyond their immediate inclinations during play. It also involves guessing how someone could respond or act.

 

For example, if you have a pet with a particularly strong prey drive, a toy that squeaks or moves unpredictably could trigger this instinct, making playtime an exciting event. Conversely, a pet that's easily startled might not appreciate such a toy and may even become fearful. By taking the time to understand your pet's unique personality, you're already on your way to making a safe and appropriate choice in the toy department.

2. Consider Size and Material


When it comes to pet toys, size definitely matters. A toy that's too small may present a choking hazard or, in severe cases, could be swallowed whole, leading to intestinal blockages. Conversely, a toy that's too big might be difficult for your pet to handle comfortably, potentially leading to strain or injury. It's crucial to select a toy that matches your pet's size and strength, ensuring it's large enough to be safe but small enough to be engaging and fun.

 

Material selection is equally important. Our pets use their mouths to explore their world, which includes their toys. This means they'll be ingesting microscopic particles from the toys they chew. As such, it's essential to select toys made from non-toxic, pet-safe materials. One shining example of this is Roadreign's Eco-Friendly Barbell Shape TPR Rubber Teeth Training Pet Dog toy. Crafted from eco-friendly TPR rubber, this toy is not only safe but also impressively durable. It's designed to withstand the enthusiastic, aggressive chewing that some dogs enjoy, all while promoting dental hygiene by helping to keep your pet's teeth clean and healthy.

3. Prioritize Durability


Pets, particularly dogs, can be surprisingly strong and determined when they're engaged in play. As such, a toy's durability is a crucial factor to consider. A toy that quickly falls apart not only wastes your money but can also pose a risk to your pet if they ingest the broken pieces.

 

One standout in the durability category is our Rope Pet Toy Ball. This toy has been designed with chew-happy pets in mind. It's constructed from high-quality, durable rope material that's strong enough to resist even the most determined chewers. Furthermore, the toy's texture can help to clean your pet's teeth and soothe their gums as they chew, providing additional health benefits.


4. Dental Health of Your Pet


Both humans and pets require regular dental care. Gum disease and tooth loss are only two of the many dental problems that can result from a buildup of plaque and tartar. Thankfully, some playthings can actually help with dental hygiene.

 

Consider our Rubber Dog Tooth Brush Cleaner as an example. To help remove plaque and tartar from your pet's teeth, this novel toy may be used as a toothbrush thanks to its bristles and grooves. However, unlike a regular toothbrush, this one is entertaining. It's a win-win since your pet will have fun while their teeth get cleaned.


5. Inspire creative thinking


Pets do better when they are not bored. Toys that test their intelligence and force them to use their problem-solving skills are especially beneficial for canine and feline companions.

 

Interactive toys can provide this mental stimulation, keeping your pet entertained and engaged, and helping to prevent behavioral issues that can arise from boredom.

 

Our Pet Slow Feeder Treating Ball are perfect examples of toys that combine play with mental exercise. These toys are designed to dispense treats, but not without some effort on your pet's part. They'll need to figure out how to manipulate the toy to get their reward, a process that engages their problem-solving skills and provides the mental stimulation they need.


6. Regularly Inspect Pet Toys


Pet toys, like all other products, have a lifespan. Even the most durable toys can eventually wear out, especially when they're loved (and chewed) regularly by your pet. For this reason, it's important to regularly inspect your pet's toys for any signs of damage.

 

Loose parts, fraying, or visible 'guts' of the toy like stuffing, squeakers, or plastic pieces are all signs that a toy is on its last legs. These could pose a serious risk to your pet as they can be swallowed and cause choking or digestive blockages.


7. Avoid DIY Toys


In the age of DIY and crafting, it might be tempting to create homemade toys for your pet. While this may seem cost-effective and personalized to your pet's liking, it's important to remember that pet toy manufacturing is a regulated industry for a reason.

 

Pet toys undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet safety standards. DIY toys, no matter how well-intended, may not meet these standards and could potentially harm your pet. They may be made of materials that aren't safe for your pet to chew on or could come apart easily, presenting a choking hazard.

 

While your hand-knit rope may seem sturdy, it might not stand up to your pet's enthusiastic chewing like our Rope Pet Toy Ball. Professionally designed and manufactured toys are made to withstand the rigors of pet play, and have undergone tests to ensure their safety. Trusting these products is an essential part of keeping your pet safe.
