My Lola (obligatory image 1 and 2) has a thing for chew toys. Especially the ones with squeakers in them. Double especially for the soft, plushy sort with squeakers in them. She loves to chomp away until the squeaker breaks, and then keep noshing on the toy for the noise of the plastic crunching about. If I let her, she'll eventually eviscerate them, spreading stuffing everywhere in her quest to nosh on the plastic squeaker.
My questions are:
1) Should I be concerned about her de-stuffing the toy? It seems to me that it's a good way to vent her (very abundant) energy, and I don't mind cleaning up the stuffing. She doesn't seem to like it - she goes out of her way to spit it out and keep destuffing. Aside from the (nominal) cost for replacement, is there anything I should be concerned about?
2) Specifically - should I be concerned about the plastic squeaker? She does seem to like to chew plastic - she got a hold of the top of her Kong Rocker and chewed it fiercely. Little bits of plastic seem unlikely to do harm on the way through her system... but still. I've been snagging it as soon as I see she has the toy opened enough. She seems to lose interest at that point.
Thoughts? Is there collective wisdom on this?
