    Status:
    Answered
    Purchased 2 rib bones a center bone and a pig knuckle. My Mini ********** Shepherd chewed on the pig knuckle and started vomiting. There were dime size pieces ranging from 1/8" to 1/4" and shards of bone. There was nothing left of the pig knuckle. She continued to vomit the night and no less than 12 times the next day. Each time, there were less and less bone pieces. I notified the store the next morning and they had never heard of it. The next day, Monday I took her to the vet. She had x-rays and blood work. Her platelets were low and red cells were low. She had pieces of bone still in her stomach and intestines. She was given 2 injections and a prescription and I was given a date if the following week to bring her back for a re-exam. If her blood count was still low, she was facing a blood transfusion. Her blood work was back to normal. I notified the store manager and his comment was ,'I don't know what to say ". That was it. Jones Natural contacted me, asked for copies of the 2 bills and vet notes, which I gave them. I received an email stating that since the vet notes didn't mention salmonella poison, they would offer $300, on a $600 vet bill. I sent a return email, stating that salmonella poison doesn't happen that fast. The label on the product stated it was for a small dog which I believe that these bone pieces would have lodged in a small dog's throat. The offer was unacceptable because I wouldn't have taken my dog to the vet if not for this bone

    I bought an ******** made 7" center bone for my dog (because I thought would be safe & trusted an ******** made product) ***** chewed on the bone for several hours in my presence. He didn't eat dinner that night and I was awaken at 3 am with him gagging, choking & vomiting non-stop. Brought him to an emergency clinic where it cost me ******* dollars trying to determine what caused and how to fix. The vets conclusion in writing was "MINERAL DEBRIS WITHIN *************** IS CONSISTENT WITH RECENT BONE INGESTON"I notified the company September 15, 2021 and sent all the receipts and reports asking for help with this enormous vet ****. At first I felt confident that they were going to do the right thing and stand behind their product. Now after 4 months all I have received is the run around and they are just hoping I will go away. I am very disappointed in this company and they are obviously not standing by their safety standards posted on their website.

    We have been in communication with her. We conducted an investigation with the vet, but had trouble getting any feedback from them. ******* was going to provide additional information from the vet, which we did not receive. We have offered a settlement already on this matter.

    We have been in communication with her. We conducted an investigation with the vet, but had trouble getting any feedback from them. The customer was going to provide additional information from the vet, which we did not receive. Yes the vet notes stated mineral debris within the stomach and colon are consistent with recent bone ingestion, but the notes do not indicate that the dog's sickness was caused by the bone ingestion. We believe in our products and do stand by them. But we do require some proof as well. We have not given the customer the run around, we have communicated with her promptly and have been waiting on vet notes from her.
