 Kong more harmfull than most think
I joined this forum after a quick search on google. My 4yr old Basenji was just released today from the vet after she managed to destroy and ingest a piece of the rubber Kong she was given for Christmas. The worst part was she was vomitting and lathargic for a week as the vet could not figure out what was wrong, as the Kong was not detected in x-ray results, it was only after an ultrasound almost 7 dyas later that it was detected and removed by surgery. This toy is misleading, esp due to the fact that they encourage you to baste it in Peanut Butter and other treats, masking it as a digestible treat to the pet. My final bill is $1800, and I am about to engage in a massive media awareness blitz, as well as seeking full compensation from the company for reimbursement for my vet bills, and the value of the toy. Please let me know what action you receive.
I think this is a far more common problem than most think, and it is blatantly misleading. Not only the vets, but every other dog owner I speak with assumes that the toy is 1) Indestructible and 2) promoted as the safest.
Sincerely,
