A cautionary tale of bone marrow treats for dogs Part 2 : As was mentioned in the previous post many dogs have the chance of being harmed from Bone Marrow treats. We will now cover what to do if it happens to you and tips for treats.
What to do if the bone is stuck on your dog:
Step 1- Try to remain calm: Take a deep breath, by keeping yourself calm your pet will react in the same manner making it easier for you to get them to the vet.
Step 2- Do not Pull: Once a bone is stuck attempting to remove the bone yourself could cause injury to yourself or your pet.
Step 3- Call Your Vet Immediately: By letting your vet know you are coming, they will be better prepared for your emergency.
Dog treat tips:
The most important tip is Supervision: As your dog is playing it is good practice to watch them. If a piece were to break off it can become a choking hazard which would require a quick response from you as the owner to help them.
The next tip is Proper Care: Periodically review your pet’s toys and when you begin to see the toy is breaking down it may be time for a replacement.
And lastly Ensure Proper Size: Follow package instructions for recommended dog size. Ex. Giving a treat to a large dog that is intended for a smaller dog is a potential choking hazard.
If you follow these instructions not only will you be more prepared in the event your dog has a bone stuck on their mouth but can help prevent this from ever happening to your fur baby!
