I don't use Kongs anymore. I came home from work one day and Noah had the kong wrapped around his lower jaw. He was foaming at the mouth and it was past his lower canines and I couldn't move it. I called my vet and they came in planning to put him under and cut it off with a hacksaw. All the way to the vet, he was smashing his head against the crate and it was off when I got there. I couldn't touch his mouth for a month after that. I took all my kongs out of their pens. Anyone want to buy a bunch of used kongs. ? <G> Ann www.edangsd.com www.edangsd.com----- Original Message ----- From: Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx To: patsgsdpups@xxxxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 3:08:28 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Kongs and Ice I'm w/ Mr. Evans. I have had a few dogs who just had the BEST time w/ a basketball. They'll puncture it, then play tug w/ it. Over time it DOES wear teeth. Ditto Kongs.
