No, I did not write the co because of what their label stated.

Who looks at fine print. I assumed that if something is manufactured
for a dog to chew on it's safe. I no better now and buy nothing
except natural beef bones. It was scary. I didn't know a puppy
could vomit so much. His stool was like black tar and at 2oam
it was so scary. There is a ER around the corner from me and I
was hysterical. He was fine when we went to bed but woke me
up throwing up. He couldn't stop. I thought he was going to die.
They GI series showed grit in the intestine and until that passed
he stayed there. He came home on day 4. The vet just said
it could possibly be the nylabone. What can they say. He had
nothing else at all to chew on or eat except his usuall.
Remember these bones are plastic and the tiny slivers can be
like cut glass and that's what caused his bleeding.
Please find something else for you pup to chew on.
Bullysticks are safe and natural beef bones is all I can think of.
Wow, that is so scary, I'm so glad you were able to get him help in time. I think I would tell the company anyway. Many companies no longer do any testing because people throw a fit about animal testing, and have no way of knowing if a product is unsafe until something like this happens. At least if you tell them, you've done your part, what they do with the information is up to them.
