'Can I just alert people's attention to a dangerous toy on the market
bought at Crufts by my friend who has one of my pups. The toy is called a Busy
Buddy made by Premier. It is a Kong type toy, dumbbell in shape of hard rubber
with holes in either end of the dumbbell to put treats etc. into. Well my
friend gave this toy to her 7 month old pup with treats in, and after five minutes
saw him scrabbling around on the floor she went to take it off him and found
him to have his tongue trapped in the hole by the vacuum it had caused. His
tongue wouldn't come out and was swelling up and causing him to choke. She couldn't
cut the toy off as the rubber was too thick and of course he was panicking ...
as she was. She had to rush him to the vet last night to have him sedated while
the vet cut him free. He is now home safe but a very bruised tongue and also
badly bitten where he was chewing his tongue with his teeth trying to free
himself. Couldn't imagine what would have happened if she hadn't seen him and not been there. Puppy would certainly have died. Friend is going to write to the manufacturer to tell them. Kongs are fine as they have a hole in the top too, so a vacuum isn't
caused inside. But because each end of this toy was solid in the middle, they aren't
safe , so just a warning to anyone who may have one or anything similar.'
