Beware Of The Squeaker! ~ Dangers In Our Dog Toys ~

[@danielgriffith3633]

You channel made me aware of the danger of. We pull them out as the toy gets more chewed. I've found a few sitting on the carpet in the past, thankfully my boy didn't feel the need to ingest. Thank you Heeler Mama

Clea may have the most adorable "What are we doing Mom?" face ever 💙I find myself really waiting for your videos to show up now! I watch every video, every short. I think I'm in love with Clea, Gypsy, and Sully 😂you are so lucky! 🐾🐾🐾

[@TheHeelerMama]

Awww thank you. I really appreciate you watching them all and for the love you have for my crew! ❤

[@GeanieG]

@@TheHeelerMama I do! I was just chekcing out your FB page and realized that Sully and I share a birthday. Of course, I'm a WEE bit older.

[@TheHeelerMama]

@@GeanieG Happy belated birthday!!

[@blondregulusblack]

your dogs are the most adorably beautiful animals i've ever seen

[@TheHeelerMama]

Thank you.

[@bethcunningham4346]

So far Skye hasn’t eaten any of the squeakers. We watch him closely when he has a toy with a squeaker. He seems satisfied chewing on Benabones, cheese chewies, etc. I hope it stays that way! Thanks for sharing all of the different types of squeakers. Love seeing the crew!

[@sueklein9265]

I vividly remember Sully and all the tests u went thru b4 u finally found the squeaker. SO GLAD Sully is ok. This is a great PSA. Thanks for the demo. I had no idea they could be so small ❤❤❤

[@popqueen9999]

Yup, my heeler also loves squeakers, and eating stuff he's not supposed to. I've been doing 'surgery' on all his toys since he was a baby. Very important to supervise and make sure! Thanks for the PSA for those who don't know!!

[@myrnahermann7000]

Ruby does the stare down to our cat when he goes near her food. He doesn't care less and will still eat her biscuits, or pick chicken pieces out of her bowl. As for squeakers, our big rottie girl was petrified of them. We couldn't give her any toys with them in. Ruby on the other hand loves them and we feel she tries to talk to us with them. Oh, and she's started using her radio buttons again. "Play" is getting over used 🤣😂

[@MrRolloBaggins]

My heeler is 14 months old. Her name is Ruby Rose! ❤

[@TheHeelerMama]

I have thought about getting those buttons but I'm worried that is all I will here is play, walk, play, walk lol I sometimes wonder if the stare down is him trying to say, hey I can be tough too, because she really will nip or whack him one to put him in his place. She hates those rules being broken and he is the rule breaker lol

[@noneyabiz_123]

Gorgeous creatures💙💙💙

[@TheHeelerMama]

Thank you.

[@kellysauerhage8898]

I had no idea til Sully's experience. My boy is closely watched now.

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Thank you for the Squeaker Alert! many toys are toxic, too!

[@TheHeelerMama]

It's crazy the stuff they put in them for sure. I wish they would label all materials in them.

[@Gammaepulse]

My late heeler Jesse loved squeakers. Even when she was pushing 15, she would find energy to play with squeaker toys. As she got older she grew more kind to her toys so they’d last longer, since my sister’s dog would come over sometimes for pet sitting and destroy her toys to get the squeakers. Jesse was like “that’s the best part!” So she always put her toys in special places to keep them safe.

[@GeanieG]

Very few toys survived Pepper. It was Kong all the way (not including the Wubba, which she destroyed in, like, 10 minutes). Her Mom, Abigail, seems to cherish her toys and never destroys them. So funny how different they are. Our older male we had, Auzi, could untie any rope in 20 minutes and break it down to strings. Great video. 😃

[@TheHeelerMama]

My Lu was the destroyer of rope toys. I was always amazed how quick he got them undone, and thank you.

[@busywithdogs]

Sully is the poster child for why we must supervise our dogs with toys, and the scary thing is, that some dogs don't survive. And this can happen to the best pet parents! I have to watch Hannah because even though she won't play with toys she likes to eat them and tear them into strings which is also dangerous. Fortunately, Clover and Joy are good with toys, but I still don't let them have toys without supervision. The time it takes for me to watch them is way cheaper than surgery or the heartache of losing them. Thank you for the PSA, I know this video can save lives. Ps. Mr. Man, be nice to your sister! It's not easy putting up with your dramatic and reactive ways. (We love you, but you could take a chill pill.)

[@TheHeelerMama]

He really is! People still don't believe me when I tell them what happened to him too. I'm like, I have receipts! You wanna see the pictures of that incision? I really could have lost him too if it wasn't for the help we got. I'm sure we would have figured out something, maybe, but I'm forever grateful for the help we got. I was watching him fade before my eyes and it was the scariest thing. And yes, we love him but he needs to chill a bit. I don't know who mad who mad first but he is staring her down and she is constantly biting his tushy, and he's becoming more possessive over mama since I'm now home more again. Ugh, kids lol

[@busywithdogs]

@@TheHeelerMama You really could have, you had to fight to be heard. I know it was hard but look at him now, thriving and living his best life. It bewilders me how people will choose not to believe things like that. I can see that. Most of the true tiffs that Hannah and Clover get into have been instigated by Hannah, not Clover. But it would look like Clover started it if I wasn't paying attention. There are times when Hannah has just had enough of the puppy stuff, but that's not always the case. Honestly, the only reason I care about what sets them off is so that I can stop the spats before they happen. They are playing right now but are getting on each other's nerves so I keep having to make them chill out for a minute. You are right, kids. I am sure that your crew will do better once they settle back into having Mom home all the time. How is Sully doing with all of the intruders?

[@TheHeelerMama]

@busywithdogs I like know the causes too to prevent it or fix whatever might be going on. As for the intruders, he's listening well about going upstairs to be locked up, has only screamed barked once on a drop off, but cries the whole time I'm grooming and won't relax. My husband took a video, and boy, does he have some separation anxiety. Gypsy will wait at the gate with Clea and her anxiety is way less now that I'm home. He is extra clingy after and seems to be getting better about other dog smells in his house.

[@busywithdogs]

@@TheHeelerMama Yup, Mama cannot fix it if Mama does know what caused it. Separation anxiety is tough, I hope that you can work through that with him. Hopefully, he will adjust to the new lifestyle soon. It's good to hear that the girls are doing better you being home.

[@TheHeelerMama]

@busywithdogs So much calmer with everyone now that I'm here. He is just so obsessed with having to be near me 24/7. I might have to do some retraining exercises with him. He actually has dad with him while I'm working cuz he's up there with them working, but he still is upset.

[@frdmbe9258]

Thx for the PSA Squeaker addition. Didn't realize one type of squeaker could be so small. Of course Mr would swallow one, and now he is doing the "stare down". Your girls are stunning. Sounds like your grooming buz is going well. Take care HM.

[@TheHeelerMama]

He ate many! lol They were constantly coming out of him but one got lodged and that was such an ordeal. I will pass along the compliment to the girls! And the buiz has a good start. Not super busy yet but we had some already come in which is awesome.

[@frdmbe9258]

@@TheHeelerMama He is a handful, everything is a possible cookie..... lol. I love seeing all three of them so close and personal.

[@TheHeelerMama]

@frdmbe9258 He really is lol, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm very lucky they all really do love each other despite their sibling moments lol

[@SunLitDogs]

We need supervision with ALL our toys. Even those solid rubber/plastic "not destroyable" toys do not hold up to a heeler who is unsupervised.

[@TheWrightsTrapping]

We love watching ya'lls videos Dingo is Blue Heeler 10yr service dog. The other night Dingo had a bad seizure and had to do CPR and we took Dingo to BluePearl Vet. The next day we took him to his Dr we got really bad cancer maybe 1 month 😭😭😭 please pray for us and that he goes peacefully!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYismqiVis50r6Msi=m7q4wFcQla8Yvisy

[@TheHeelerMama]

Oh this breaks my heart for you all. Sending strength and prayers your way!

[@danabump8200]

The first thing my heeler does is rip the toy apart to get the squeaker out. As soon as she does the squeaker goes in the garage.

[@IAmJeka]

Like swallowed a huge one at 6 months old and I noticed only cause she had explosive diarrhea and it came out by itself… I found an affordable vet that took an xray and she was fine but jeez these blue heelers haha

[@TheHeelerMama]

Before Sully's exploratory surgery for the one that was stuck, he was pooping them out randomly and one day even puked up a pile of 5 of them. How he survived any of it amazes me lol but very glad he did. Like said, these blue heelers lol

[@merijohnston8521]

I will pay extra for toys without a squeaker for the sake of my sanity.

[@TheHeelerMama]

We paid $20 for one online and when it arrived it had a squeaker! lol I trust nothing anymore lol Thankfully we got a refund. If you have any recommendations let me know.

[@frankmorris4790]

What ever for? Those things were the first to go, they never bothered us at all. little Roany ate.. ? several.

[@billiamc1969]

Our cattle dog ate a $100 bill...tore it all up and swallowed it...she has also chewed up and swallowed a disposable razor...passed right through luckily...now she is over 1 year and no longer counter surfs and chews stuff up...we ONLY have natural rubber toys for them...those cheap squeeky toys are nothing but trouble

[@TheHeelerMama]

A razor!!!! So glad it passed!

[@ingridcox6024]

We recently adopted a 6 month old blue heeler. She is a chewer. Any suggestion for toys that will last longer than a day.

[@TheHeelerMama]

I have had decent luck with Kong, Tuffy, and the Bark box super chewer toys. But always watch out for parts that they rip off. I still have to pull pieces hanging off of the Bark toys or pick them up before they swallow them. Thankfully they don't do that as much now but when they were puppies everything is danger lol.

[@michaelbrady181]

Im lucky with mine, they are like your girls they just kick em to the side, i buy the little stuffed animals from walmart at Christmas time or Valentine's, bout 3 bucks and they kill em!! I do worry bout the eye balls, they pull them off and i throw them in the trash!! Imma e-mail you and tell ya bout the drama miss Ryah caused while i was away this weekend........

[@TheHeelerMama]

Silver was notorious for pulling out the eyes and nose pieces! Thankfully she tossed them to the side too with the squeakers and I was able to just throw them away. Loved hearing about Ryah's antics! lol
