Pet Choking Prevention Day is a great reminder that choosing the right toys for your pets can save their life! When choosing toys for your pet, it's important to know their play habits. Are they are super chewer that will shred soft toys? Do they prefer to play fetch?
Check that the diameter of a ball or toy is always wider than the width of your petโs jaw. Toys should never be able to fit entirely in your pets mouth! If a toy is broken, then it's time to replace it so pieces are not swallowed.
If your pet is choking, seek veterinary care immediately. Choking is an emergency for our pets.
