She said if they swallow the threads and strings they can easily lodge or even wrap around their intestines.
Fortunately that wasn't the problem with her, she has a bug, but I thought I would pass it along!
Thanks for sharing this info. It was news to me when I found out. I had just brought my puppy home to a box full of toys, of course, and happened to mention to his breeder that I had bought him this "floss" rope toy. She told me to throw it away immediately as she had heard of a dog that had become ill after playing with one, and unfotunately died. When they looked inside to poor pup, his intestines were wound up with the the floss threads. Scary and sad.
