Especially owners of young dogs should rather buy latex toys, as young dogs have very sharp teeth and they tend to not only to chew on it but to completely destroy the toy. It might happen that small pieces of the toy will be swallowed.

As latex does not cause any harm to the gastro-intestinal tract and will be excreted without any problems, swallowing a small piece of this material will normally be harmless. Nevertheless do not leave your dog unattended while playing with latex toys.

Additionally we strongly recommend to replace broken toys immediately.
