| Twinkle has some rubber toys too - a bone and a couple of balls, that she loves to chew. She's not bitten any bits off so I'm not worried. I try to steer clear of plush toys because then, to her, all of my daughters' teddies are fair game! xxx

| The problem with dog toys is that most of them are made in China. Copy and paste dangers of Made In China pet toys in a search engine and look at the results. Some of the articles are rather outdated, but I haven't found any new information indicating that they are now safe. For me, the scare was real enough to throw out all of the "made in China"rubber toys and give all of the plush ones a thorough washing. If anyone has any more curent info, or has information on toys made in China which are truly safe, PLEASE PLEASE post -- my dogs love the cute latex squeaky toys. |
