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

TPU prints are very robust for FDM prints, but dog toys need to be solid objects. Even a small dog will tear apart a printed toy. Layer adhesion is no match for dog teeth.

Printing a mold and then casting the toy would give much better results.
