Thanks Lindsey, having read it I must say I get Teddies for my lot and still will but the minute they start to chew or rip I get rid and replace, in all the years I have had dogs I have never had a problem but it would depend on the dogs, if they are chewers then yes take teddies away. I know of people who have had terrible troubles with dogs that eat Vet beds and have had blockages because they are prone to chewing it. I hadn't known that some Teddies contain such horrid things though, so thanks for letting us know.
