There are a number of toys on the market for your dog and puppy and most of them are safe. For those of you that like Frisbees I recommend getting a soft sided one instead of the hard plastic which can be hard on your dog’s mouth and teeth. Chew toys like the Kong are great for chewing if you have an aggressive chewer or just need to keep you dog our puppy focused on something. Try filling the Kong with peanut butter and kibble then freezing it. This will make the treat last longer. Another option is soaking kibble in chicken broth, then freezing.
Soft squeaker toys or stuffed toys should only be used under supervision so that the stuffing is not eaten or the squeaker is not removed and possibly eaten. Make sure any balls are appropriate for your dog’s size. A large dog can easily choke on a small ball. Any toy that shows any wear or tear should be discarded. Dogs can get blockages from toy parts which can make them sick or require surgery.
