Answer 2

The ball was recalled and the vet bills were paid by the company. ANY dog toy you give your dog with one open end should have a hole in the other. If not you should put one in with a nail or a drill. Even kong toys can get blocked by the stuffing you add to them and create suction or get stuck on a dog's jaw or foot. That's why ALL dog toys should be given under supervision.

Four Paws makes a ball that has a hole in the bottom of it and when the dog begins to chew on it, it forms a vacuum and sucks the dogs tongue into the hole.  Then because of the suction created, the tongue can not be pulled back out.  One dog in CT (I think that was the state) had to have his tongue surgically removed because of the toy.  I'll look for the link with the story and post it for you.

Here you go it's called the pimple ball.
