Throwing a stick for your dog to
chase is for many dog owners, part of the fun of
owning a dog. However a study at the Royal
Veterinary College into both acute and chronic stick
injuries has shown that injuries caused when dogs
catch or play with sticks, can be very serious
indeed. Vet bills can run into thousands of pounds
and even with the best treatment, dogs may die as a
result of their injuries.
What are the alternatives?
Many dogs love to play fetching
games, and none more so than most of our
favourite gundog breeds, particularly the
retrievers and spaniels.
You can protect your Labrador or any
other breed of dog that likes to fetch and carry by
providing him with a purpose made
retrieving dummy. These are available in
our shop. Gundog trainers have used canvas
retrieving dummies for many years. They are designed
for a dog to carry safely in his mouth. They are too
large to swallow, and will not damage your
dog's mouth or teeth. |
