Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My dad bought these from costco for my two bulldogs. Just recently Liam (my male bulldog) started acting funny; he was throwing up and acting very lethargic. I did not think much of it until he started throwing up non stop. A rush to the vets and he got some liquids and an anti naushia injection. He got back home and seemed much happier but 3 am rolled around and Liam started throwing up everywhere again but this time his vomit included blood. We rushed him to the emergency vets and they took x rays and a blood test. Liam's x rays showed that his stomach was filled with air and his intestine was horribly swollen; his blood glucose was extremely low which often is due to infections and a foreign body. When I saw the quote for the price of the operation I almost passed out but my little bully deserves the best. The next day he was scheduled for surgery but things got only more complicated when Liam threw up as he was being put under causing him to inhale his own vomit (the doctor was extremely concerned that this would cause pneumonia. Luckily Liam's surgery went well and the vet was able to cut the intestine and take out the obstructing object. When I saw the object I was devastated and angry. The checkups dental dog treat was a putrified mess that was so hard it felt like rubber. I wanted to make sure it was a checkups so I cut it in half and sure enough the inner color was a light cream (ps I could barley cut the NON digested checkups treat because it had become extremely rubbery and ridged). I was extremely angry that the information on the check ups bag was not really truthful because I would have never given them to my dog knowing that they really dont digest all the way/are not 100% soluble. A banana is 100% digestible...while you would not want your dog swallowing it in large chunks, if he/she did it would not be the end of the world as it would digest...Checkups are far far far far far away from being digestible like a banana. I thought it was crucial that I share my experience and warn other out there so that they Do Not purchase this product....just brush your dogs teeth instead. I feel so guilty and I feel even worse when i look at my poor dog's stapled stomach....he did not deserve this to happen! (PS Costso was more than willing to give me a refund and file an accident report...they were so helpful!)
