Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: Hyperpet responded immediately to my review and I commend them for the way they handled our situation. This is a very dangerous toy, and nowhere in the description on the website does it indicate that this is unsuitable for some dogs. Our 50 pound Bernedoodle, 11 months old, was able to somehow open the “durable” plastic outer ball without any damage to it, and chewed and ingested the whole IQ level 1, 4 inch diameter, yellow disc. At first we had no idea what happened, it just had “disappeared” from the room without a trace. During the night however she threw up, but only a tiny fraction of the very hard, very sharp edged pieces. An emergency vet trip in the morning ($ 440.00) including barium and consecutive X-rays yielded the first results: the rest of the pieces are traveling through the intestinal tract, had reached the small intestine, and we could hope that she could pass all others without surgery. But any time during the next 3-4 days we could still face surgery, as no one knows what the larger pieces would do. This happened on a Thursday after noon and after 24 hours on Friday she began to pass large quantity of sharp edged pieces! This lessened during the next 24 hours, but the today, Saturday larger pieces are still coming through. I can only hope and pray that none of these pieces will either perforate her bowels or cause an obstruction. The vet says we won’t be out of the woods for a while. In the meantime I have spoken to an Amazon agent, pleading with her to take this product off the website, or ask the company to put on a warning on the website for this product that can clearly be seen: not for strong chewers. I discovered only a fine print notice on the package after the incident had already happened, but too late. If our dog should need surgery we would of course face a bill of in the thousand. P. S. The illustration shows some of the chewed pieces. The larger amount on the left is the part she threw up, the 3 separate pieces on the right are the largest so far that actually passed through the intestines and exited. I think it makes the point better than my review.
