So when my now 2 yr old goldador was a puppy he had an old football, once belonged to my DC’s, which he absolutely loved, in the end it completely disintegrated and had to be binned.
Today I decided to buy him a new football, just your average football from a supermarket. Brought it home and gave it to him , he was delighted of course!!
A few minutes later, from the kitchen I could hear some whimpering so went to check on him. He had the ball in his mouth and it took me a minute or so to realise his jaw was completely jammed stuck around the ball with his big teeth pierced into it.
I quickly helped him get the ball out, and he was visibly upset for quite some time afterwards, almost like he was in shock, his jaw carried on quivering for a while!
Anyway, he’s fine now and out again playing with his tennis balls and other toys.
Just wanted to warn others that this can very easily happen. Am so thankful I was there and he was only like that for a few minutes. It was not a ball designed for dogs but I still thought it was fine. Please be careful and keep this in mind for your ddogs!!
