Ghetto Raised Bowls

JanS, I see the tennis ball in the pic. Have you ever been afraid of them choking? Ozzy loves tennis balls but it terrifies me that he'll get choked on the ball. Sometimes the ball is way back in his mouth. What are your thoughts on this?

Mine play with tennis balls all the time. I have always had ball driven dogs. I even let them rip it up because the dogs that I have had in the past (doberman and Giant Schnauzers) spit the pieces out. If I had a dog that didn't then they wouldn't get a ball but maybe a kong or a nylabone or real bone. If you are worried about them swallowing it attach a rope to it or get one of the kong balls that have a hole in the center already. I just put a piece of Parachute Cord through the middle and he loved it.
 
oh, and you can now get super huge tennis balls. I don't think they can swallow something the size of a softball.
They are kind of cheesy and are far easier to destroy then your average tennis ball.. (at least the ones we bought were)
 
Ozzy always destroys his toys. For some reason though when he's chewing the tennis ball its way back in his mouth, it just freaks me out, so I don't let him have it anymore. I told him that I was not prepared to do the himelic manuever, lol.

That's actually a rubber JW ball. Ours aren't allowed tennis balls because they will destroy them and choke on them too.

Funny to pop-in and read this...one of Crutch's favorite pastimes in peeling the hide off tennis balls and shreading them, leaving the entire tennis ball bald. He'll eat some of the shreads, but not all...as evident in that first morning "report" of random strands of glowing, neon strings mingled in the pooh against the dead grass. Truly Hi-Viz if you would! :rolleyes:
 
Buddy doesn't slobber while he's drinking, so the bowl within a bowl wouldn't work for me. His problem is the line of dribble that he leaves AS he walks away! :facepalm: I will often leave a bath towel down to try and catch some of it! :tap:

I, too, have dish towels on the kitchen floor to mop up after Crutch when he gets a big drink. The "line" averages about 8 feet, and flat soaks up into your sock feet completely if you miss any when mopping. :down:
