Pet Insurance Claim of the Week: Swallowed Toy

This week’s featured pet insurance claim is for a foreign body ingestion of a pet toy. Pet toys are designed to be safe for pets, but nothing is safe when it’s swallowed by the pet! Samson is a 2-year-old Boxer with an insatiable appetite for toys.

The dog toy obstructed Samson’s small bowel and he had to get it surgically removed.
