I would like to warn all dog lovers out there to be very careful about
the dog treats that you give your dogs. Last week I bought a 'Real Ham
Bone' made by Dynamic Pet Products of Missouri from Walmart.
The label says it is made with '100% Food Grade Ingredients' and it
isn't made from China. I thought that meant that this would make a
good treat for my dogs. Boy was I wrong.
Trace, my dog, enjoyed chewing on this bone. It did not splinter or
anything, in fact there is quite a large piece of it still left. Then
in the evening she started vomiting. She spent the next day at a
veterinarian' veterinarian'<WBR>s office where she was diagnosed with a b
colon. That night she endured a 4 hour surgery at Brandon Veterinary
Specialists where the vet picked out small round pellets of the bone,
up to the size of about a b-b. The next morning she was moved to
Florida Veterinary Specialist critical care unit. Again in the evening
she had another 2 hour surgery, because the blockage had caused poison
in her body. She passed away at 4:30 the next afternoon.
Everyone who hears this horrible story immediately says 'Well that
sounds like a lawsuit to me'. That is what I thought also. Since
then, I have learned that is not that easy to sue on behalf of a dog.
The lawyers say a dog is a possession just like a couch. So, so far,
all I have been able to do is write a certified letter to Dynamic Pet
Products of Missouri. In it I requested my vet bills to be paid and
their product to be relabeled or preferably removed from the shelf. I
don't know if I will get a response. If anyone else has any ideas
about how I may address this issue, please let me know at
_djurgens12@ aol.dju_ (mailto:djurgens12@ aol.com) .
In the memory of Trace, please pass this email on to all of the dog
lovers that you know. This type of bone is sold in all of the stores
under several different manufacturers names. I would assume they all
may do the same thing. Even if they don't splinter, they can cause a
blockage.
