Safe dog toys matter because they offer one area where we can control what substances our dogs come into contact with. We can't protect our dogs from everything in their environment but we can make sure that the toys they put in their mouths are safe and don't harm them in anyway. What a simple concept. The toys in our collection are: - In compliance with the safety standards recently set for children's toys in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008;
- Manufactured by responsible companies who use independent labs to test their toys to make sure they're safe and who genuinely care about your dog's health and well- being;
- Tested again by happydogsplay.com upon arrival at our office to check for ourselves that there aren't unsafe levels of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Chromium. We use a local company that specializes in testing for lead and other heavy metals using the X-Ray Flourescence device that is commonly used to test children's toys;
- Made from plant-based materials (no wool, no leather) or safe synthetic fabrics instead of wool. All our toys are vegan and cruelty-free.

How to pick the right toy for your dog.
Many of our toys come in different sizes (XS, S, M, L, XXL) and are labeled as being for a specific age group (puppy, dog or senior dog) so make sure the toy you're buying is right for your dog. If there are choices in sizes, you'll find an explanation of what size or weight a toy is for in the product description.
Any dog toy can be dangerous based of your dog's size and personality type so always supervise when introducing new toys. NEVER leave your dog alone with a new toy until you're sure that they're not going to try to tear it up. If your dog is a heavy chewer and destroys toys quickly, then select a toy from the "Tough Toys" category. It is dangerous for your dog to play with toys that they can tear up because they may ingest parts of the toy, squeaker and stuffing and choke.
Make sure your dog has the right size toys—a dog toy that is safe for a small dog could choke a larger dog. As your puppy grows up, replace puppy toys with the appropriate size adult toys. The "appropriate" size means that the toy is big enough that there's no chance that it could get stuck in your dog's windpipe.
Rope toys are to be played with, not chewed. They're not for dogs who quickly shred and destroy their toys because loose threads could pose a choking or gastro-intestinal risk. You should supervise your dog when they're playing with rope toys to make sure they're playing safely. This is very important, especially for puppies. Don't leave a rope toy out for them to play with whenever they want. Puppies should always be supervised when playing with any toy that isn't hard rubber but especially rope toys.
Check your dog's toys frequently to make sure that are no tears or other damage that could lead to the toy being torn apart.
Keep you dog's toys clean by following the instructions on the label. If you stuff a Kong with peanut butter or any other food, make sure you wash that toy so that bacteria doesn't form inside the toy.
