July 5, 2010 I bought my dog (2 yr. old Lab pup) the Dynamic brand "Real Ham Bone for Dogs". He ate it in about a half hour. A few hours later he was having AWFUL diarrhea, with large chunks of bone in it. The diarrhea continued for 4 days. In the mean time, I had called the vet twice to ask for advice. They said to feed him hamburger and rice, and as long as he's not vomiting (a sign of an obstruction) and he stays hydrated, he should be ok, but if anything changes then to bring him in.

After the 4th day of diarrhea, he became constipated and started throwing up. I took him to the vet and they gave him an antibiotic and anti-nausea medication. They said it could take a few more days for him to finally start to get better. IT'S BEEN NINE DAYS SINCE HE INITIALLY ATE THE BONE. This company needs to be put out of business! They are KILLING our dogs! Where are the safety precautions? Are there ANY safety regulations in place as far as pet products are concerned, or can any cruel idiot put products on the shelf in an attempt to make out pets suffer?

On July 6 2010 i purchased a Dynamic Pet ham bone. On July 7th i found my Dog Jake ( pet bull terrior ) dead in a pool of blood the next morning. I had no idea this bone was the case until my other dog was throwing up chards of bone.Thank goodness I did not lose her as well. I contacted the company and lets say they settled the case. I did not want anything but them to take this bone off the self they have yet to.

on wednesday may 5th 2010 my beloved Pomeranian teddy died from the pet dynamic ham bone. i gave him the bone on saturday may 1st. i noticed the next day he was not able to keep any food down, for he would vomit it back up. i took him to the local emergency vet clinic which he prescribed an antibiotic and nausea medication. that night he was getting worse and i knew something was seriously wrong with my teddy. i pawned numerous items and borrowed money from friends and took him to his regular vet. he ran an xray and discovered the bone was lodged in his esophagus by his heart along with fluid build up near his heart and lungs. they taped his chest and ran a tube down his throat to try an push the object into his stomach. the operation was unsuccessful. my poor baby was having fluid build up again and a high temperature. my dog suffered terribly. so with much sadness in heart and many tears rolling down my cheek i kissed and hugged my beloved teddy one last time and had him put to sleep please emial be back so we can talk

On April 21, 2010 I purchased a Dynamic Pet Product Ham Bone that was labeled as a product for dogs. I took it home to my Jack Russell Terrier who loved it. I noticed as she as chewing it that there were shards of it coming off the bone. I took the bone from her about 10 minutes after giving it to her.

Within5 hours my dog was vomiting pieces of bone and experiencing a great deal of pain in her abdomen. Within 24 hours she was vomiting blood and whining with pain and having difficulty breathing. I rushed her to the vet. She was admitted with severe dehydration (although she had been consuming large amounts of water), pneumonia from aspirating vomit, and acute pancreatitis and had a mass of bone in her intestine. She was suffering horribly. The vet admitted her to the ICU. He took one look at the bone and said, "Ham bones are the worst thing you can give a dog."

My dog was in the vet hospital for days with IV, antibiotics and numerous x rays. Luckily the mass in her intestine didn't puncture anything. She has fully recovered but she suffered enormously for several days. This product should not be on the shelves! I have a 517 dollar vet bill. Although I do not have the money to pay this vet bill the bigger issue is the amount of suffering my helpless dog experienced. I gave her a "treat" that nearly led to her death! I also experienced several sleepless night and much heartache and fear of losing my best fried of 9 years.

On 03/13/09 I gave my dog Dewey the Real Ham Bone made by Pet Dynamics. Within minutes he had consumed half this bone. I was very alarmed at the ease in which this bone just crumbled for my little 10 lb dog. The bone given to him was not small and should not have been that easy for him to chew! When I came home the next day I found him lying in a pool of vomit and poop. The vomit as well as the poop contained large amounts of bone fragments. He was lying there moaning in pain. There is no way to describe to anyone the sounds of an animal in agony.

I rushed him to the vet where they found his core body temperature was 97 and his eyes were fixed and dialated. We elected to euthanize rather than allow his continued suffering. Dewey's body was sent to the state Lab for necropsy. Necropsy did not find any evidence of bone fragments (no kidding, he threw it all up). He had a diaphramic hernia which most likely was caused by the excessive vomiting caused by this product. No words can express the deep loss for my baby boy. He was the sidekick superhero of a little boy. He was a Field Champion and finished the 2008 coursing competition as #6 in the USA. He was a great ambassador for his breed and my best friend.

on 2/19/2010 we bought dynamic pet hickory smoked real ham bone for our dogs.my dog lucky ate four bones since then.on march 9/2010.lucky became very sick.he woke me up at 4;00 am.he could not stand up and when he tried to he would fall down .then he started vomiting a lot while lying down he was pooping so much i don't know who was more scared me or lucky. it was awful. no living creature should have to endure such pain.for the next 48 hours he could not stand or walk.i cleaned up poop pee and vomit.he would not eat. the next day after that day he tried standing up without very much success.lucky is not eating at all .he still is drinking some water .if it gets any worse we will have to go to a Doctor with him and I do not know how to pay for that as I am currently unemployed .I think the Company who makes those Bones should be responsible .

Bought Real Ham bones at Sams club. Gave my Dog one of these ham bones on 3/8/10. The next morning there was vomit everwhere. He could not eat but wanted to drink. Every time he drank within 15mins he was vomiting. Took him to the emergency vet on the night of 3/9/10. After spending 1700.00 he can home the afternoon of 3/11/09.

The vet said their were pieces of bone in several sections of his intestines that were not moving. After a 48 hours stay at the vet all seems well so far. There is a problem with these bones. Someone needs to check them out before more dogs get sick or die. Our dog could have died if we had not gotten him to the hospital. The bones cost a few dollors and the hospital visit cost 1700.00. I have all the vet bills if someone needs to see them.

March 2, 2010 I bought two real ham bones for my two bulldogs, that night the one bulldog threw up 5 times. The next day we took her to the vet who did xrays and stated no blockage but she was indeed very sick and had gastric problems due to the ham bone. This is day three, she has not moved her bowels yet and will have to have another trip to the vet. The second bulldog is moving her bowels, but they are full of bone, I am taking a stool sample to the vet this morning. As of today, March 4th, 2010 I have spent 265.41.

My dog ate the bone and died. I filed a complaint with consumer affairs back in 2008. Have had no resolution. The company denied my claim for vet bills. They said I chose to give my dog the bone. This was a very very painful death for Buddy. Many dogs have died from this product. I had a necropsy done and still thay claim it wasn't their product. Please do something.
