I would not recommend giving this to Bruno every day. That's because too many treats will cause him to gain weight, which is not healthy. When dogs are overweight, they are at risk of diabetes, heart problems, and excess stress on the joints among other health issues. In addition, I am not a fan of bones for dogs, even uncooked ones. That's because they can break teeth when a dog is chewing on them, and can cause GI obstruction. If you would like to give Bruno a chew bone, I would make it a very rare treat to protect his health.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is very concerning for a possible gastrointestinal obstruction. I would highly recommend you consider having Homie evaluated as soon as possible for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this and possibly confirm it. If this is actually diagnosed, surgery may be needed. Another possibility is dietary indiscretion though I am more concerned about an obstruction. Good luck and have a great day!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. It sounds like Xena was a bit naughty and got into too many treats! She is a larger dog, so she will likely be OK. I would monitor her closely for any gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Acute intake of fatty foods can cause acute pancreatitis in dogs, which can range from an easy fix to a multi-day hospitalization with potential for life-threatening complications. If Xena becomes inappetant, has episodes of vomiting or diarrhea, or simply isn't acting herself, I recommend having her evaluated by a veterinarian. It is unlikely that the high-calcium buffalo treats will cause any issues. I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately, this is a tough one. My two thoughts are: trades and avoidance. Trades Carry a really desirable treat (whatever he loves) with you on the walk. Give the command “sit” and give him the treat. Do this occasionally throughout the walk. Then, if you come to the bone, immediately tell him to sit and offer the treat. Hopefully he thinks it’s preferable to the bone and drops it. Avoidance If possible, can we go a different route? Stick to sidewalks where you can see things more easily? Or consider a comfort fit basket muzzle for walks that doesn’t allow him to eat anything. There are cute shapes or you can decorate and bedazzle them to make them look less scary. Best wishes to you and Blanco!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco. Constipation is pretty uncommon in dogs, so the bigger concern would be an obstruction, or a GI upset from raw meat (such as diarrhea or pancreatitis). Fortunately, raw bones are quite digestible in the stomach and often pass without incident. Monitor Bayliss closely for a decreased appetite, vomiting, or lethargy. As long as he is eating normally without vomiting, I am not worried about obstruction. However, if he shows any symptoms of lethargy, inappetance, or vomiting then a vet visit is appropriate. Hope this helps!
