Answer

For strong chewers, selecting the right toys is crucial to prevent choking or intestinal blockages from ingested pieces. Look for toys made from durable, non-toxic materials designed specifically for aggressive chewers. Examples include solid rubber toys (like KONGs), nylon bones, or specially designed dental chews. Avoid toys with small parts that can be easily chewed off, or those made of soft rubber or plastics. Always supervise playtime, especially with new toys, and regularly inspect toys for wear and tear, discarding them when they become damaged. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
