Hi all
My dog eats everything. I mean everything pegs, wood, sponges etc. But last night he got a hold of the dog treats packet "Mr Goodman's chicken strips". I was fine with him getting the packet as he will eat treats if he finds them but was I was shocked to see him eating was an Oxygen absorber - severely poisenous to dogs. I rushed him to vets who had to make him sick and said that he will either be fine or he could have an late reaction and could be really sick and have blood in his poo etc. In the next 1-5 days so keep a close eye on him.
AIBU to go completely mad at the company for putting it in there?? Dogs are like toddlers they get into everything and I left him to go and have a bath but why would they put something that could kill a dog in the bag?? It has warning signs not to eat them on the packet covering it but not on the big outter packet where treats are however i didn't even know it was in the packet!! It wasn't obviously there and there was no warning signs on outer packaging to say to remove it once opened. For example, you know to keep washing up tabs out of reach or to take the salt things out of your shoe box because you can clearly see them because of how dangerous they are but I wouldn't have thought I needed to lock away treats and you can't obviously see these absorbers they aren't displayed anywhere.
I'm just so upset my dog normally wakes me up crack of dawn licking my face but he is still asleep.
