These case history costs were taken from the national
pet-insurance company PetPartners, Inc. The following list illustrates the cost involved in removing non-edible
items from a puppy's/dog's digestive tract. PLEASE ---- KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PET, ESPECIALLY
PUPPIES. A toy should NEVER have any loose pieces (eyes, buttons, or such) that can be pulled off and swallowed. When any toy looks to be tattered, trash it and keep all other things out of the puppy's
reach, until you teach him/her not to touch then. Most adult dogs
don't eat things they shouldn't. MOST, DON'T! The replacement cost of the toy
is much less then any of the costs listed below and surely,you don't want your puppy/dog to suffer the surgical procedures
involved.
