How to Select/Choose the Best Toy for Your Dog:
Some helpful hints to make sure your dog has a safe and fun toy experience:
- Extra Small (XS) toys are for small breeds ONLY. Generally a small dog is considered to weigh less than 22lbs or be shorter than 16 inches.
- Be sure to select the appropriate size toy for your dog. This will assure that your beloved pet avoids any potential choking hazards. Plus, it will ensure a longer-lasting toy to enjoy!
- A toy is destructible when the toy is able to reach the back of a dog's jaw, which is where a dog is able to do his/her hard-core chewing (much like a human!). Give your dog a perfectly round, hollow ball and your dog can chew for hours (because he/she cannot get it to the back of his/her jaws). If you have an aggressive chewer, try a perfectly round shaped toy!
- ALWAYS supervise your dog during play and immediately remove any toys at the first sign of damage.
Paw Rating:
Perfectly Round shaped toys = 5 out of 5 paws for durability
"Roundish" shaped toys = 4 out of 5 paws for durability
Elongated shaped toys (such as a bone) = 3 out of 5 paws for durability
(Yuppie Puppy Gear does not sell any 1 or 2 out of 5 paws products for the safety of your pet)
