ANTLER PIERCED MY DOG’S INTESTINES - DON’T BUY
If I could give this product zero stars, I would. My dog weighs 38 pounds and I ordered a large antler, which according to the description was actually a size bigger than my dog actually required. My dog was given this antler and within 70 minutes he’d eaten half. It was not durable whatsoever. My dog has had many antlers in the past from other companies and he’s never once been able to even make a dent in them after months of chewing. I took the antler away from my dog (which was down to less than half of its original size) and set it aside. A few days later he started acting strangely and vomiting. I took him to the vet once where they thought it was most likely a virus and told me to monitor him closely in case his symptoms worsened. Over the weekend our puppy continued to decline and vomit with no interest in food or water. I took him back to the vet on Monday where x-rays were done. He has a severe blockage and required emergency surgery. The surgeon had to take out 12 inches of intestine which was splintered with pieces of this antler poking through. He then had to spend the night at an emergency vet clinic for the night and has spent 3 days at his regular vet’s office under close supervision. He’s having a hard time rebounding from surgery due to the severe nature of the procedure. I’m livid and disgusted with this company. If my medium sized dog can chew through a large antler in such a short time frame, what does that say about the quality? I now have vet fees of over $4,000, not to mention the agonizing pain my dog has been in. I fully intend on contacting a lawyer and seeing what legal action I can pursue.
