I gave this to my 3 yr old dog who is strong as an ox, and has never had any medical issues - and within 30 minutes of consuming it, he went into a seizure. It scared the crap out of me, I thought he was dying right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

Then about 10-15 minutes after the seizure, he was back to normal. He went outside and had a normal bowel movement, and dinner later in the evening and had another normal bowel movement, so that told me he didn't have a blockage. I can only assume there was something in the ingredients that he had a severe allergic reaction to.

I checked all the ingredients, and there wasn't anything out of the ordinary that would have been harmful - the ONLY thing I saw that he is not normally accustomed to was kelp and chlorophyl. I looked all over the internet to see if DreamBones had any complaints, recalls or lawsuits, and found nothing.

I know seizures can also be caused by epilepsy, brain tumors, tick bites, and other toxins. I just found it highly coincidental that this happened so quickly after consuming this particular pet snack, which he had never had before. We monitored him closely over the next 24 hrs, and he is totally back to normal, as if nothing ever happened. We threw these snacks away and will never use them again. We will continue to pay careful attention to him, and if it happens again, we will then be faced with taking blood and urine samples to check for other issues. I really hope that the DreamBones was our actual problem, and this never happens again.

Not sure what to think of that.

I'd throw them out & count yourself lucky your dog didn't die. Sad, isn't it? Last yr I was giving my dogs an imported chicken jerky treat & 1 of our dogs started throwing up every day until I tossed the package, I felt so bad.

If you can't easily find info on the mfr, I'd see that as a bad sign that they're hiding something.

someone on amazon.com said they're made in China, you'll have to check your pkg & decide for yourself. I'm glad you dog lived. Now get back to the real estate forum , they need you to referee over there lol.

I did leave a negative review, and I felt halfway guilty doing that, because I do not know for a fact that the snack IS what triggered this. All I know, is it happened shortly after consumption, and now 72 hours have passed and he's totally back to normal, and showing no signs of any problems. If it was indeed the snack, he must be the one dog in a million that was allergic to their ingredients, or I picked up the one package in a million that was tainted.

Sorry to hear about your dog getting sick on the snacks, jomuir, glad he is ok. And thanks for the link to the other thread. I think I may get a dehydrater and make some sweet potato snacks - that looked pretty good!

LOL - I didn't realize I had made that much of an impression on the real estate boards. I don't know that I have ever been a very good referee - more like an instigator, maybe. Haha. I do mainly stick to the real estate stuff - I guess from habit. I forget that they have other boards that are very useful.

Thanks again for the help. I was really worried about my boy. I would have been devastated if he was taken from me at such a young age over something like this. I have been scouring the web for info relating to seizures and allergies, and although I educated myself a lot more, I also made myself even more paranoid! He seems like he is back to normal now, I think he is ok now.
