How to pick toys for dogs

　　Dog toys can be roughly divided into two types: interactive toys and alone toys.

　　1. Alone toys are prepared for those owners who don't have time to accompany their pets. Its main feature is that pets can play alone, such as all kinds of leaky toys and educational toys for dogs that are common on the market. Such toys can alleviate the psychological problems of separation anxiety, irritability and depression caused by long-term aloneness.

　　2. Interactive toys should be the toys that dogs prefer, because they can play with their favorite owners. The most common interactions between dogs and their owners are tug-of-war and touring, so the types of interactive toys are basically concentrated on these two points.

　　First of all, when we buy toys, all plastic toys should be excluded from our choice. Plastic products will use phthalates and bisphenol A, it is to provide product flexibility. Among them, bisphenol A has the function of anti-androgen, which can disrupt the endocrine balance of pets, and the concentration of bisphenol A released on worn or old toys is higher. In the study, bisphenol A and phthalates will affect the development of the fetus and have a lifelong impact on the offspring of laboratory animals.

　　Secondly, the owner should also avoid choosing knotted toys. The main way to play knot toys is to tug of war with pets. In such a tug of war, the dog’s teeth may be embedded in the toy, causing unnecessary harm. And after the knot is worn, it is easy to be eaten into the stomach by the dog, and then these indigestible knots will damage the dog's intestines.
