They are monitored when they are playing with them & if they get ripped too bad so they can't be sewn/surgeries then they are thrown in the garbage. I got the warning from someone who meant well but it made me feel very bad. Very well written.

I do however buy kids toys at thrift stores, garage sales and "after holiday sales." Beau's favorite big bunny was just killed. I don't take the toys away when he unstuffs them, because he's happy as a clam to carry a carcas around for months. ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185163668089482679.post-63580986637440682722010-03-31T22:38:36.686-04:002010-03-31T22:38:36.686-04:00Whenever we go to the Pet Store with mommy, we alw...Whenever we go to the Pet Store with mommy, we always see a zillion things we want! And we think she is being mean cause she won't buy out the whole store. And we say, mommy, we want that and that butt then she explains, I don't think that toy is very safe.<br /><br />We're sooo glad that we have a smart mommy like you.

Sorry. I didn't even think of looking at Snopes before forwarding that email around - I just read a horrifying story and wanted to pass it along as a caution to any dog owners. Now that I look at Snopes, it sort of confirms the fact that people toys are not good for dogs. In my mind, anyway. As with anything, of course, good common sense is key in protecting these precious souls entrusted to our care. <br /><br />I will be the first to admit that I go a little overboard. Since the dog food scare in the Spring of 2007, I no longer feed them anything manufactured for dogs. Nothing. No dog food, no dog treats...nothing. My family calls me a wacko, and my vet insists that there are safe, good quality pet foods on the market, but making it myself makes me feel better about what my babes are eating. Their bloodwork is perfect, so I know they are getting all of the essentials, and I figure better safe than sorry. <br /><br />Signed: Dianne Wood, the wacko from Pittsgrove, NJ<br />:-)Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874368719000440871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185163668089482679.post-80659992026411371162010-03-31T14:58:15.351-04:002010-03-31T14:58:15.351-04:00Yes, in total agreement here too.

We don't do ANY kind of rawhides in our house... or didn't, even before the great allergy diet came to pass. The Knight had to drag one too many out of Fred's throat, and that ended that. However, I don't judge anyone electing to use rawhides in their pets' routines...SissySeeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249971578077045662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185163668089482679.post-79841970130973115202010-03-31T12:48:54.872-04:002010-03-31T12:48:54.872-04:00Hi Sue:

Its cowardly to send out some frightening words about toys and not saying Who You Are.<br /><br />I'll be interested in reading this, I Google for it but all I came up with were old alerts, 2005 and so on.<br /><br />Cheers and hugs,<br /><br />Jo and StellaStellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890014621743537798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185163668089482679.post-49862664188074265492010-03-31T12:38:22.885-04:002010-03-31T12:38:22.885-04:00And a bit more - dogs are dogs -they will destroy ...And a bit more - dogs are dogs -they will destroy anything if left to their own devices.

I don't give my dogs a toy unless I'm around to monitor it. And as soon as it's unstuffed it gets a new home - the local landfill. I'm more concerned about dollar store toys than I am children's toys. Truthfully, IMHO, you can't beat the tug of war toys - but if you have a Scottie, don't get the ones with the tennis balls - they will strip that ball down in about 2 seconds flat!<br /><br />And if you want more support - check out snopes.com - http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/stuffedtoys.aspRocky Creek Scotties and Rocky Creek Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358992951185911832noreply@blogger.com
