[Dailydrool] A warning

[Leslie Rich]

> This was sent to me by one of the Rocky Mnt Rescuers group. The person who
> sent it is reliable, so I¹m taking her word for the message. If anyone has had
> any experience with this dog treat, please share it with us.
> 
> 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. Here is
> what it looks like: . 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's office where she was diagnosed with a blockage of the
> 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 at 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.
