Hartz Dentist's Best Rawhide - Dog Got Very Sick

by Rosalie
(Tulsa, Oklahoma U.S)

I gave my dog one Hartz Dentist's Best with DentaShield last night (8/30/2010): Lot # TJ10501. She is 8 months old and has been potty trained for the most part, but stays in her crate/bed at night in case of accident.

In the morning there was a terrible smell and diarrhea in her crate and she has NEVER had an accident in her crate. She had more diarrhea in backyard. I put her in the laundry room and left for work, and when I returned there was clear, mucous like, slimy, putrid smelling diarrhea all over laundry room.

I searched internet to research her food for recalls and ingredient safety. The only thing she had differently was the Hartz Dentist's Best with DentaShield.

She is very tired now after 24 hours and the diarrhea has finally stopped. I am waiting to see how she is in the morning and if I need to take her to the Vet.

I would avoid Hartz Dentist's Best w/ DentaShield...I am very scared about her, but unable to take her to the Vet until morning because it is midnight.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT!

MY DOG GOT VERY SICK OFF A DENTAL RAWHIDE NEW
by: Anonymous

I bought the Dental Rawhide for my puppy, SAME THING happened, he has always been a very active just fine 4 mth. old Afghan Hound pup, after the rawhide he wouldnt eat, vomited once, wouldnt drink all day or night, had EXPLOSIVE diarhea (yellowy, )mustard color not to be gross) and was listless. i gave pedialyte,which he kept down ( yes, I would have taken him to ER vet if he continuted to vomit but luckily he didnt) and he starting eating the next day like usual and playing, but still with the explosive yellow diarhea, not often throughout the day but once or twice.. Lasted a couple days with the diarhea. I will never give a rawhide again. And Hartz has crap products the whole way around, I should have known better!

Same Issue With Hartz Dental Chews
by: Anonymous


My dog has 2 different kinds of rawhides.

I noticed he had diarrhea one day, in the house and then outside; just like you described and it is completely out of character for him.

I fasted him for a day then started him on a rice/ground turkey meat diet for a few days and he seems better. Well, silly me I didn't even put the two together that it could have been the raw hide and gave him another yesterday and he hasn't had a bowel movement since. He is acting normal but I'm still worried!

It's the Hartz dental chews I gave him! Keep us posted on what the vet says, my little one already has an appointment this week as well for his boosters.
