Potential Dangers…(especially for the chewers)

[Anonymous]

hi,

can i add sticks and frizbee’s to that list.  some frizbee’s are OK (like the one Bev & I found when we were walking) but others seem to be made froma thin brittle plastic I got given one for William and he picked it up once and “crrrunch” it split leaving sharp edges 🙁  sticks … for chewers there is a danger of splitering like with cooked bones, for retrieving there is a danger the dog could run on to the stick unless you are confident the stick will be on the ground before your dog reaches it – i wouldnt advise throwing a stick “to catch in the air” 🙂

another thought – broken dog toys, once your dog has chewed up a toy i would bin it.  if you have a chewer then i would be inclined to crate them while you are out and certainly remove any toys from reach and view.  give a Kong to keep them busy 😉

I would like to add two more thing
One is the water features that do not have to be plumbed in the water in, some of those contains anti freeze.

And the other if you have two or more dogs take their collars off when they are at home when two dogs play it’s easy for a bottom jaw to get caught in a collar.
I know of a dog that had it’s jaws broken playing with a kennel mate this way

ahh that is good mentioning about the anti freeze – our cat died after drinking that – we assume from a puddle under a car or something!! >:( :'(  :'(

Great thread,
Can I add to Vals post. Take harnesses off when letting your dog/dogs run free. They can get caught up on things and each other.

mmm…

i agree with you baby b, but i have also used william’s harness to ‘save’ him a couple of times too !
