Thank you to Barry (and Trice) who sent this to me. Please read this blog regarding a certain dog toy that is extremely dangerous and has already killed one dog.

dangerous dog toy

While chewing on the toy, a vacuum was created and it effectively sucked his tongue into the hole in the ball. From speaking with my vet, this likely occurred because there is not a second hole in the ball preventing the vacuum effect from happening. I became aware of this when Chai approached a friend at my home whimpering with the ball in his mouth. She tried unsuccessfully to remove the ball but the tongue had swollen and could not be released.

Chai had to have his tongue amputated and is learning to live life without it now. Another dog who had this happen to him lost his life due to the injuries.

Please read The Chai Story and make sure you are not using this toy.
