Just another reminder about not giving your pups or adult dogs balls/kongs etc. that are too small. Always go large!! Incidents like these are rare but do happen with such tragic consequences and such a loss at just 3 years old.

Caution // heavy 🚩

As many of you know, on Sunday night We lost the wonderful Foster in what can only be described as a tragic and horrifically freak accident.

With the permission of his owners, I am writing this post for you to learn, share and tag others to raise awareness about the dangers of things that seem so simple.

Whilst at home with his owners, Foster choked on one of his toy balls. His owners, their neighbours and the vets did everything they could but heartbreakingly he couldn’t be saved.

‼️ Following this event, I am trying to raise awareness about the below:

• Do not leave your dogs unattended with tennis balls/sport sized balls when you are not home

• If possible remove ALL rubber-only balls - when wet with saliva you cannot get any grip. This makes them dangerously slippy when in a dogs mouth

• Have your vets day to day AND out of hours/emergency contact number saved in your phone with the address you need to go to or any other details you may need

• Refresh yourself on the basics in dog first aid training

• Replace all tennis ball sized balls with bigger sizes/frisbees or larger rugby ball shaped balls

Following this incident, Walking Pawz has introduced Fosters Rule; under no circumstances will tennis balls be used whilst dogs are in the care of Walking Pawz, nor will Pawz allow dogs to be left with any balls when they are dropped at home after being in our care.

I hope that all existing clients and any potential clients can appreciate us calling this decision. ❤️

Fosters accident has rippled through the Pawz community, I hope by sharing this post we can help prevent such tragedy happening to someone else.

My heart aches writing this.

Please read and share far & wide. These beautiful little boys are the identical twins of the owner's of one of my first boarding dogs way back when I first started the business and deserve every chance in life.
