Toy warning - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I just wanted to post a warning about the dog toys with the noise boxes in them. I have bought these for Callie for years with no issues but Callie has never ripped a toy open. Today Penny got one open and then got the noise box open that had button batteries in them. We grabbed it from her as soon as we noticed but one battery was missing. I finally found it. Those button batteries can be very dangerous if swallowed so had I not found it we would have gone straight to the vet. Just wanted to let people know about it so you can watch out. I never even thought about the button batteries.

I was freaking out when I couldn’t find the other battery I just knew I was going to have to rush her to the vet for X-rays and possible surgery to remove it. I was so scared.

Thank you for the warning. Up until now we'd been primarily concerned with the color on the colorful Chinese rubber toys we got at PetSmart. (Yes, the foreign manufacturer PAINTS the surface of the rubber toys rather than infuse the color into the rubber!) Fabian's a chewer, so we had paint flecks in 10 minutes, tossed the toy, and haven't bought one there since.
