What kind of toy did my Dog Eat?
Not so when your dog has ingested something potentially harmful. Such was the case when Zoe, our Saluki, decided to consume her favorite toy, a small, pink, plush Flamingo.

What happens when a dog swallows a toy?
The dog had vomited a portion of the toy, but the remainder was stuck in the colon. Because this toy was hollow in the middle, it allowed the dog’s stool to pass through.

What kind of objects can a dog swallow?
Fruit seeds/pits, bone, rocks, small toys, squeakers and other objects are frequently swallowed, usually by inquisitive pups, but also by pets whose chewing drive is high (Labrador Retrievers, Pit Bulls, etc.).
