Even though we only stock toys safe for your pet’s entertainment, a dog or kitty on the loose with a toy can cause varying amounts of destruction! Please supervise your pets while they play and do a maintenance check on their toys fairly regularly looking out for any potential hazards such as small damaged parts that may break off and be swallowed.
