Choosing A Safer Alternative for Dogs - Oleg's Story

In the past, like many dog owners, we used to offer our dogs real bones for chewing, believing it was beneficial for their dental health and enjoyment. However, our perspective changed dramatically when our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Oleg, fell seriously ill after consuming a bone.

 

Oleg's ordeal began with symptoms of distress, refusing food and water and struggling to poop, prompting an urgent visit to the vet. An x-ray revealed a concerning amount of bone material lodged in his stomach, posing a severe obstruction risk.

 

This discovery led to a tense period of daily vet check-ups and treatments, closely monitoring Oleg's condition and the movement of bone fragments through his digestive system.

For several days, Oleg struggled with severe discomfort and still refusing food and water, and unable to pass stools normally. His condition worsened due to internal stomach tears caused by the bone, resulting in bleeding during bowel movements. It was a distressing time for us as Oleg battled through the complications.

 

Thankfully, after a week of intensive care and medication, Oleg's condition began to improve. Gradually, he resumed normal eating habits and bowel movements, signaling his recovery.😀

 

In discussions with our vet following this harrowing experience, we learned that while bones can be suitable for dogs in some cases, they also carry significant risks, potentially leading to life-threatening situations like Oleg's.

 

Afterwards we discussed our Bone Marrow Chews with our vet. These Chews provide dogs with the same enjoyable chewing experience as real bones, possibly even more satisfying, while minimising the risks associated with bone fragments and digestive complications.

 

Choosing Bone Marrow Chews over real bones has not only brought peace of mind but also ensured Oleg's safety and well-being. It's a decision rooted in our commitment to providing Oleg and other dogs with healthy, enjoyable, and safe chewing options.
