Size appropriately
A toy that is too small for the animal can create avoidable risk.
Inspect wear
Damaged toys can expose filling, cords or broken pieces.
Durability is individual
A toy that lasts months for one pet may fail quickly for another.
Use intended supervision
Some products are designed for supervised interaction rather than being left with a pet indefinitely.
General product-selection information only. A pet's health, anatomy, mobility, breathing and behaviour can change what equipment is appropriate. Follow product directions and ask a veterinarian or qualified animal-care professional when those issues matter.
