FOR ALL DOG OWNERS - and people who know any
The product itself has been recalled, but if you know anyone or you own a
pimple ball (made by Four Paws), please throw it away and warn your other friends. This is an old story, I wasn't aware of it till today but it is about a dog named Chai who was playing with this chew toy and it created a vacuum sucking his tongue into the ball. Chai eventually had to have his tongue amputated.
The Chai StoryThis is the story, it is the last one on the page.
Apparently, it is not a lone case. Someone had it happen to his dog back in 2005 (unfortunately, the dog did not make it) and although he let the company know then it is not until 2008 until the product was recalled! I'm disappointed that Four Paws did not take immediate action on this, as the first and most recent blog will tell you, they failed to keep in correspondence with the blogger and did not even get in contact with him until a friend with high connections contacted them on his behalf.
Since this is a pet picture thread, this is Monty, my sister's gigantic cat Monty:

part Maine Coon!
