I have been looking at least prototyping in TPU 3D printed dog toys.

    I’d be very concerned about the dog toys breaking apart and causing the dog harm.

    I think non-used prototypes would be fine, but nothing that would actually go near the dog

      Yeah, it’s not the material, it’s the chewed off bits that I would be worried about. It would help you prototype something, then make a mold that you can use.

      For my dog though, if it doesn’t squeak, it doesn’t exist.

        Good point on the mold.

      I see your point about parts breaking apart being a concern.

      How familiar are you with TPU? It’s quite durable and robust. It’s a plastic currently used in many dog toys. Between that and Part of me feels like TPU being a soft plastic that would minimize risk.
