After the mess is cleaned up, the dog still liked playing with the toy, especially if we put a small biscuit-type treat down an arm or leg that she had to work at to get out!!!!

When my dog shreds a stuffed toy I just clean up the stuffing and she plays with the "gutted" toy. She almost seems to like that better becuase it's limp then and she can whip it back and forth easier! RE: Is the Stuffing in a Stuffed Animal Harmful to My Dog?

My dog will simply toss aside the stuffing with her nose and I can pick up the pieces and dispose of them immediately. The "skinny" stuffed animal (with all the stuffing removed) will provide months of enjoyment for your dog -- don't throw it away like I used to !

He can choke on it, and it can cause an internal blockage in his digestive system.
