    Personally the Goodwill ones I choose are no plastic parts; eyes, nose, ect mostly those mallow squishy ones also those are never unsupervised. The ones from the discount stores I look for name brands if I can find them like Bark or Outward Hound.

      I’d even be worried about the stuffing, honestly. Who knows where that toy got made and what it was filled with. You can’t even trust toys designed for humans to be safe for kids!

      Maybe I’m being too cautious, maybe there’s no difference, but I’d hate to do it and then have my dog get sick.

        Pretty sure the stuffing is polyester, which isn’t great for dogs, but it’s not so bad for them that you need to rush to the vet or anything. Pretty sure it’ll just come out the other end undigested.

          I’m pretty sure of that too, but not sure enough to trust a Goodwill plushie. An ounce of doubt is enough for me to not want to risk my doggie’s health. Especially since she’s 9 years old.
