Need All YT Participation Please!!(Saftey) Ok YT Cindy and I thought it would be a great and bennificial idea to get a sticky in place for products that have caused potential dangers to our dogs lives of saftey, I think this would help a lot of people to not make the mistakes that have almost hurt our babies... I want to get all members that have had any issues with products to post in here and if we get enough good reply's maybe admin can make a sticky out of it and save some lives.. EX.. I bought Peeka some round Bully sticks(complete circle) and i thought they were fine well they are not he actually got the bully wrapped around his head and i had to have the vet cut it off with bolt cutters:eek: This is a dangerous product to have for small dogs here is the link to the story... http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90330 Also i know Sookie had a problem with a round treat she gave Kalina and she almost chocked and died on it here is a link to her thread as well.. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=101482 Please if you have any suggestion we would love to have them in here I figure we might be able to save someone else from heartache..If you have posted stories on YT please link back to them so we can hear about them Thanks in advance everyone:D |
Good idea..:thumbup: :thumbup: As long as YT members state why it is a problem like you have in your examples. |

:eek: OMGosh, Thank you for doing this..SCARY what is out there that can harm our little guys!! Haven't had any bad experiences with any product, but will surely be checking here often for updates and precautions about certain products!! :aimeeyork |
Belle had a nylabone one of the rubbery ones adn she chewed it up and started braking pieces off of it... luckily she was ok, but she could have choked on the pieces or something like that |
This was not from my thread, but it's the same product and problem: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91979 Seargents Flea/Tick Prevention. Causes damage to their nervous system. We spent 2 nights and $1500 after applying it to Xena. I also want people to know that you have to use Dawn Dishsoap to get the stuff off your pet; soaps, and shampoos don't work. This I was told directly from the Manufacturer. |
great keep them coming guys |

I second this. I know of someone whose dog had a reaction (restless and itching). The manufacturer said to use Dawn. I would recommend staying away from the Lepto vaccine if at all possible. It is probably the vaccine that sent Ellie into shock and there are other Yorkies with similar stories. This vaccine has been known to kill them. Please weigh the pros and cons carefully before giving it. |

whats lepto? |
Here are some of the rules that I think of when buying toys and treats: 1. Is this a choke hazard in anyway? 2. Can tiny pieces be broke off and swallowed? 3. Is this product made in China? 4. Is there harmful paint on this product? 5. Can they strangle themselves with this in any way? 6. Is this 100% digestible? I am sure there are more, but I run these through my head before purchasing. Also, please do not give pets - stuffed animals for children, as most of the time they have some sort of a button type eyes or nose, etc. And believe me, our little ones can easily get them off and swallow them :( |
Chachi has chewed chunks off of a nylabone. I wouldnt use them. Also you have to be careful of step in harrnesses Jewels had on on before and got part of it in her mouth. It was real tight in her jaw. She really could have choked. The only time I have them on is for walks |
