Remains of dog-eaten chew toy resembles scene from The Philadephia Experiment

As someone who has had to surgically remove many a chewed toy, and unknown miles of necrotic intestines, please only let your dogs have chew toys that are destructible when you can directly observe them.

Also, rope toys are the worst for causing obstructions by far.

Also, no toys that begin to approach tooth hardness (unless you like premolar slab fractures).

But I do have some funny and not tragic GI FB stories (like the mini-build a bear that stared right back at us when we opened the intestine to find out what was in there, or the dog that ate a plastic ball, the owner who didn’t recognize it and tookit home to his wife for identification, and then the repeat surgery the next day to remove the exact same ball…).
