(HealthDay News) -- Toys are key to your dog's well-being, since they can help fight boredom and provide comfort for your dog, says the Humane Society of the United States.
The society offers these guidelines for pet owners:
Do not let your dog play with string, rubber bands or other items that could be swallowed.
Buy toys of appropriate size for your dog.
Avoid toys with dangerous fillings, such as polystyrene beads.
