I am always amazed at how much space gets given to dog food quality, which is almost never an issue, as compared to dog food quantity, at a time when 40% of all dogs are obese.
By the same token, I am amazed at how much space is given to largely mythical dog food toxins (Have you ever seen a dog even look at a poinsettia, much less chew on one? Does anyone you know have baker's chocolate in their house, and have you ever actually tasted it?) while completely ignoring the fact that dog killers are openly sold from the racks at PetSmart and Petco.
The pictures, above, are toys for dogs.
Not said: These are toys for dogs about to get very expensive veterinary surgery, or dogs that are about to die from bowel obstruction if their owners cannot afford that surgery.

I do have baker's chocolate in the house... for baking. But the dogs have never looked at it. Although my partner's hound-mix did once consume an entire Terry's Chocolate Orange (with no ill-effects) which he pulled out of the beside-table drawer, and left the packaging, cardboard and plastic, intact in the hallway with the foil wrapper neatly pressed and flattened beside it. Barely a tooth-mark in sight either. A tidier job than most humans could have done; I guess he was bored that day.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about knowing one's dog, and choosing appropriate toys.
ReplyDeleteThe toys pictured are not suitable for any dog ever -- not even a mellow chihuahua. The are not designed for teeth.
