Avoid buying toys with smaller pieces
Toys that contain small parts, such as buttons, plastic eyes, or beads, can be really harmful to your pet because they can swallow them and it can lead to gastrointestinal problems.Â
“If the toy has small parts, a pet might be able to pry these off with their teeth. Depending upon the size of the piece, a trip to the veterinary emergency hospital may be necessary,” said Ahn.
But if you notice something strange in your pet’s behavior or health condition you should call your veterinarian as soon as possible!

That was interesting but not helpful. I know not to buy hard
or soft or with strings, rope squeakers or stuffed. But you failed to describe what is good and WHY your choices are far better than all the things we mortals have given our pets. I usually don’t bother to follow questions that take you on and on but we do have a new stray rescue that was rescued and then given to us. I doubt you will respond, but a bit of help not just “don’ts” like teens need…don’t this and that and a dozen other things, but where are the parents whose house is open to all their kids’ friends and teach what is fun but still a good thing to do. Yes, decades ago our house was where the kids were welcome, now in our sons homes, kids are supervised and welcome. One teen we knew had a goodbye saying to her parent’s admonition…Parents would say, “Be Good and have Fun”,,,,Teen’s reply with “attitude”, “which is it, Be good or have Fun?” Many teens think that way. A Cat and Dog owner and rescuer of kids and pets over 80 yrs old and a marriage of over 60 years marriage to one man. That silly old fashioned couple. Sue
