Dog Toy warning

[jules77]

I have been alerted about an awful story about a dog ball manufactured by Four Paws, which although originates from the US, is available in this Country.

Good grief! What an absolute horror story! Thank you for posting that - it is just the sort of toy I would buy my dogs - I will certainly be on the look out for anything like this and make very sure to draw my dog- owning friends' attention to this.

What a dreadful story. The poor dog. :o(

I shall spread the word to my doggy friends and i will be visiting my local pet shops (both owned by lovely people) and inform them about this.

Having said that, I don't recall seeing this ball for sale in either of them or any other products from the said company (thank goodness) - but nevertheless - they will now be aware.

Hey jules,

Thank you for that, it really is awful!

I have posted it on another site, and someone has replied with

So it does look like they now have a recall out for it!

Hey,

Have had a lot of replies where I have posted it, and I will be printing off the story and recall notice to take to the vets tomorrow, also another lady will be printing it off and handing it out at puppy clases she takes.

Even though it may not seem alot, if it means one more person being aware of the toy, its worth it!
