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.
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.
