| Has anyone considered this? Hi Fellow Yorkie Lovers! I'm new to this wonderful forum after just having rescued the most amazing little yorkie guy who I've named Baci (means "kisses" in italian) I promise, pictures will follow! I was just wondering...have any of you considered the toxicity of pvc when purchasing dog toys, vinyl/faux leather carriers etc.? I've attached an article for your perusal. As I go to buy spoily things and a purse/carrier for my little cutie should I be concerned about this? It seems the purses could be of particular concern since they are enclosed in them.

| I wasn't sure what to think either...it's hard to totally get away from the all the toxic stuff in our world, for sure; it's so pervasive! But I had heard this before so wanted to put it out there. Since everything I'm buying is new for my little cuteheart Baci, I may try to go vinyl free on as much as I can. |
