| GDB TOY POLICY - Take it seriously! The story at this link about a dog whose tongue was amputated due to a defective toy demonstrates graphically the reasons GDB has put a toy policy in place--and why we should all carefully follow it, including the ages and supervision levels recommended! Remember, just because a toy LOOKS like a kong or other approved toy, that doesn't make it safe for our puppies. Make sure you get the exact products on the approved list, and supervise your dog closely at all times! Take toys away and replace them when they become dangerous--that is, when pieces break off a Kong or Nyla, when a sterile bone begins to splinter or is shorter than the jawbone of the dog and could get stuck in its mouth. Booda Bones should not be left where the dogs can chew them up, but do discard them when/if they start to unravel. HPWT's store sells only approved toys--often at or below retail prices--so we recommend you get your toys from us. For other environmental hazards, check out Malady of the Month. | |||
The Have Paws Will Travel club store will be open at announced times, usually at puppy trucks & workshops. The toys we sell are all GDB approved and usually priced under retail cost, so make plans to fill all your dog toy needs through HPWT. If you need a toy between times, contact Frank & Cheryl to make arrangements. |
