My 4 year old GS almost died and has neurological damage from this product!
Hello - Just a warning if you use this project, keep it far, far out of reach of your dogs. I had an auto delivery that I didn't know had been delivered and thrown inside my door. My 4 year old GS found and ate the whole tub, and nearly died from Methionine poisoning. And keep in mind - it's not like it is a huge tub. About 8 hours after he ate it, he woke me up in the night with nearly complete paralysis of all 4 limbs, eyes, face, throat, every muscle in his body, confusion - all the classic and severe symptoms. My vet couldn't figure it out - sent me to an emergency neurological hospital 2 hours away. Samson spent 2 days there, and with it being out of town, I stayed there. $4,000 later, he's back home and beyond the initial 72 hours that Zesty paws indicated would be critical, but is still displaying neurological symptoms. Both my vets and the emergency vets are surprised he's even alive. My vets and I were in communication with the company and they confirmed the toxic ingredient was Methionine and that was what caused this. Yes - my fault that he was able to get to the tub - but I would have never given it to my dogs had I known the ingredients were so lethal to begin with! Please, please, please - if you give your dogs this product, keep it far far out of their reach so you don't end up like me!
