What you need to know… Dog Products that contain toxins can be harming your furry friend!

Opt for natural, non-toxic materials whenever possible.

When it comes to choosing products for our beloved pets, safety should be a top priority. From leashes, collars to dog beds, chew toys, interactive and puzzle toys, tug toys and clothing, the materials used in dog products vary widely.

Choosing the right materials for your dog’s products can make a big difference in their health and overall safety. By paying attention to the materials and avoiding products that contain harmful chemicals, you’ll provide not only comfort but also a healthy happy life in a safer environment for your dog.

Most toxic chemicals get into dog products during the manufacturing process. It may surprise you but, there are no regulations regarding the manufacturing, which means manufacturers can put pretty much anything in their products. Some manufacturers take advantage of this and opt for the cheapest materials to produce low-quality dog products, especially chew toys.

Dogs often engage in vigorous chewing and gnawing on their toys, which frequently leads to the toys being in direct contact with their mouths. Toxic chemicals and dyes can be absorbed through the gums and oral tissues, leading to serious health issues over time.

Unfortunately, most of the chemicals used for this purpose are also known carcinogens and therefore are harmful to dogs. Particularly those manufactured in China which may contain harmful chemicals and toxic dyes that pose serious risk. Even minimal exposure to toxic substances over time, adversely affecting their overall health which can contribute to chronic conditions including allergies, skin irritations, endocrine disruptions, and even organ damage.

Selecting safe, NON-TOXIC dog products and opting for a natural alternative is ESSENTIAL. It is of paramount importance for protecting your furry friend from harmful chemicals. By being vigilant about what we choose for them, you can help ensure that they lead a healthy happy life in a safer environment.

Look for toys labeled as non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals and preferably made natural or organic materials whenever possible.
