Always wondered about those starter kits for animals and my quetions to all pet employees is this not too small, response, oh no plenty of room. they need only so much. well they need more to run around. use your own judgement, your pet not theirs when you buy it.

I have heard of countless dogs choking on regular white rawhide bones and I can't figure out for the life of me why anyone buys these pet treats!!!! I actually use a great alternative to regular rawhide. It is soft, flexible rawhide that is flavored but it is not basted on the outside, the flavor is actually baked into it in a high heat extrusion process. The name of the company that makes it is poochie treats and my dog goes bonkers over it! It's still made of 100% rawhide but its chewy, flexible and digests easily. I used to buy them at petsmart but they don't seem to be carrying them anymore. I'll link you incase anyone is interested in them.<br /> <br /> hvPet.com or just hvpet.com<br /> <br /> I hadn't thought about cat toys on strings as being a hazard so thanks for posting that and shamefully, I have used the choke collar (though I did know the correct use of it).

I applied it 2 nights ago and within 10 minutes he began having a reaction to it, I quickly put him in the sink and tried to wash it all out (very difficult b/c it is waterproof) but it was apparently too late. I woke up today and he was sleeping, non-responsive...took him immediately to the vet, had to have a blood transfusion to try and flush out the poison...he has a 50-50 chance of survival. DO NOT USE this product, it is VERY poisonous to your cat. I didn't apply too much or use the wrong one for my cat, I followed the directions exactly. It goes into your pets blood stream immediately and washing will not help. While talking to the vet I learned that she sees countless animals suffering from poisoning from Zodiac products...spend the extra money and buy a safer alternative.

My dog started acting lathargic and we took him to the vet. The vet said that Seargent's is very toxic and I ended up poisioning my dog. And even though the bottle said for dogs and cats, the vet said it actually isn't safe for cats at all and a small dosage would kill a cat. A $4 bottle of ear mite meds costed me $200 in vet bills. If your pet is sick or has a problem, take them to the vet. It's alot safer and may be cheaper in the long run then going out and diagnosing your pet yourself and buying over the counter midication.

You can buy formed rawhide, which are bits of raw hide chopped up and preformed - they dont last as long and are a tad safer, but still best to avoid any of these products.. get a KONG - hard rubber type toy - fill it with your dogs favorite treat or even peanut butter.
