Hi folks! I know a lot of you are dog lovers. I just wanted to spread this news- take or leave what you will from the article, but please do use care in your dog toy selection.

The good news is that the company in question is now recalling the product.

Thank you, Jennifer, for that info! What a sad story! Scary, too! 😯

Jennifer Thanks for the information it is heartbreaking to see dogs suffer like Chai and Cole have and who knows how many more.

[Katherine]

Thank you so much for posting this. I feel so bad for the dogs who suffered. 🙁

Thanks for posting this – even though I don’t have a dog, I shall pass along the link.

How sad!!

Thanks for posting this. That poor dog! 😥

[Jodi]

Oh, those poor babies. How awful! I’m glad to see the ball is getting recalled now.

Aw man! You’d think that those people would have thought of that happening when they first created that toy! Poor dogs!!!

The company’s website shows the toy as still for sale though. 🙁 I hope the “recall” isn’t just a PR stunt of some sort and that they just forgot to pull it from the site, but it doesn’t exactly fill me with joy to see it still there. I also have to wonder about their other rubber dog toys that, although slightly differently shaped, still have that same single hole in them. Theoretically they could be just as dangerous.

Thanks for posting this Jennifer. Those poor dogs! It’s especially awful for poor Chai. 🙁 I will not be buying any of the toys made by that company for my dog. I have also forwarded this to all my co-workers who have dogs too.

that is sad… I’m so glad we don’t buy any kind of rubber toys for our dog…

we’ve never bought rubber… we’ve always gotten some kind of natural materials…

I quit buying rubber toys for Retta. She loses them, or lets other dogs steal them.

[Bob]

I’m telling everyone I know about this
