These come from my vet visit yesterday . . .

ACORNS can easily get stuck int he intestinal tract.

EDIBLE NYLABONES My vet recently had to operate on a pup that had a piece of edible nylabone lodged in his intestinal tract. They couldn't figure out what it was until the vet noticed a seam on the piece she removed. She went out and purchased an edible nylabone and put it in digestive enzymes to see how digestible it really is . . . she told me to STAY AWAY from those!

She said so far, she hasn't seen any problems from the Booda Bumps. Just be careful that your pup doesn't eat too much during one sitting as they will crap like a goose afterwards!

Another thing she warned me about is rope toys. She had a chi that tore bits and pieces off of it and eventually had to have surgery to remove a mass of string from its intestines. ewwwwwww
