A few safety precautions should be taken when making crocheted toy. This is to ensure that it's safe to be used by your little ones and that these plushies are pet-friendly, too. Remember, safety first, always!  If it is intended for a pet, consider using pet-safe materials and avoid any small parts that could be chewed off and ingested. By following these safety guidelines, you can create crochet dogs that are both adorable and safe for everyone to enjoy. To keep things safe and snuggly, here are some key considerations: 1. Use safety eyes or securely attach embroidered eyes to prevent choking hazards for small children or pets. 2. Avoid using small or sharp embellishments that could be swallowed or pose a choking risk. 3. Ensure all pieces are securely sewn together to prevent them from coming apart during play. 4. Choose durable and machine-washable yarn if the dog will be subjected to frequent handling or play.
