What the AI looks for in Plush Toys for Dogs
- Construction
- Look for multiple fabric layers, reinforced seams and stitched features rather than glued ones. Seams and attached parts are where plush toys fail.
- Stuffing
- Choose stuffing-free toys for dogs who disembowel plush. Swallowed fibre filling can cause a blockage.
- Washability
- Prefer machine-washable plush. Plush collects saliva and bacteria quickly.
Brands that matter
- Tuffy: Multi-layer durable plush.
- ZippyPaws: Stuffing-free plush.
- Multipet: Lamb Chop classic plush for gentle players.
- Outward Hound: Invincibles and other plush toys.
What to avoid
- Plush with plastic eyes or glued parts
- Leaving stuffed toys with unsupervised shredders
