Saw this on FB & thought I'd shout out a warning here.
Who knew that a simple Milk-Bone Brushing Chew could put our dog’s life in jeopardy? We were surprised to receive the call from the animal hospital stating that the obstruction in our dog’s intestine was, in fact, a treat that we had given him.
After an emergency surgery costing over $1,000 and an overnight stay at the hospital, our dog is finally home, but is nowhere close to being the energetic and playful dog that he was just two days ago.
After doing some research, we have read many reviews about multiple dogs becoming very ill after consuming these treats as they are indigestible. It is clear that most people, including my family, are/were unaware of the potential dangers of these treats. Please help us spread the word so other dog owners can become informed of the risks associated with these brushing chews and are able to avoid the high medical costs, as well as spare the pain and suffering of their pet.
We expect Milk-Bone, at the least, to offer to cover the vet bill, but also hope that they will take these brushing chews off the market to prevent this from happening to other dogs.
This is the culprit

I couldn't post the pic of the dog bc didn't get permission from owner yet, but he got surgery to remove the blockage & about 20 staples on his tummy.
