What We Know About Plastic and Dogs
From chew toys and kibble to beds, treats, food bowls, and even the dust on your floor, plastic is part of nearly every dog's daily life.
Plastics can contain a wide range of toxic chemicals that are linked to reproductive, developmental, neurological, and cancer-related effects.1 These chemicals can migrate or leach out of plastic products over time. Plastic can also shed tiny particles of plastics known as microplastics, that carry these chemicals and create another potential route of exposure.
