Dog toys are immensely popular, but one toy is not the other. The quality and safety of dog toys varies greatly. That is why it can be difficult to find the right dog toy.
Dangerous dog toys
The Shocking Truth About Some Dog Toys
Before you load up your shopping cart with colorful plushies and squeaky toys, let's talk about the potential dangers lurking in the dog toy aisle. It's a bit of a scary reality, but knowledge is power!
- Hard Plastics: A Silent Threat: Those seemingly indestructible hard plastic toys can actually splinter and cause painful cuts in your dog's mouth and gums. Ouch!
- Squeaky Plushies: Cute, But Risky: We know, they're adorable! But those soft, plush toys can easily be torn apart, and your dog could swallow pieces of fabric, stuffing, and – worst of all – those tempting squeakers! Choking hazard alert!
- The Plastic Pandemic: So many dog toys are made with plastic, polyester filling, and chemical dyes. Even if they're labeled "non-toxic," ingesting these materials can lead to digestive upset and other health issues.
- "Natural" Doesn't Always Mean Safe (Beware!): Pig ears and rawhide chews might seem like a natural choice, but they often come with hidden risks. They can cause constipation, diarrhea, and pose a serious choking hazard. Plus, many are processed with harsh chemicals. We recommend steering clear of these altogether.

Hemp dog toys
We added a 100% natural dog toy collection made from hemp to our store. The hemp plant itself controles weeds and is therefore free from herbicides and pesticides. Hemp is also naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Hemp rope is firmer than cotton and good for your dog's teeth. Due to the braided structure, hemp toys contribute to your dog's oral hygiene. You can think of it as a natural floss. The material is sturdy enough to clean the teeth, but soft enough not to cause damage. In addition, the antibacterial and fungus resistant properties have a great advantage for oral hygiene.
Hemp rope is intended as a safer alternative to synthetic toysl that is harmful if swallowed. Hemp rope breaks down naturally and in most cases dissolves completely. However, this does not mean that your dog is supposed to consume hemp in large quantities, it can still be harmful. That is why we recommend that you supervise your dog when chewing on toys made from hemp rope.
