On Sunday my bf went to Sam's and bought these treats b/c we are fostering an Australian Terrier and also have a Maltipoo so we wanted to give them treats for good behavior and keep their mouth clean. We gave these treats to them on Monday evening and that's all she ate for the rest of the night. Well - Tuesday my Maltipoo began having really loud stomach gurgles and just a small bit of loose stools.
Then at night she ended up puking three times, and then having some dyarrea. I could not figure out what was wrong. I even though it was from some chicken that we fed both of them that my boyfriend and I had cooked and season fresh for them. (Yes we are those types of dog owners since we don't have kids.)
So THEN, Wednesday her symptoms worsened and then had massive loose stools overnight. My boyfriend went to the store at 6am to get her some medicine for her stomach.
I thought she was doing better, but Thursday overnight into Friday morning she had even MORE runny stools. My Maltipoo is potty trained, but poor gal went in five different places. She didn't even make it to the bathroom. I was glad she wasn't throwing up anymore and thankful I have the Bissell Spot Bot, but she didn't feel good. My dogs are not allowed on my bed, she sleeps in memory foam Serta next to me, but last night she wanted me to hold her and she kept trying to get on my bed and ended up sleeping right beneath me under the space below my bed so she was closer to me.
You can tell she's sad and is not feeling well. If my dog doesn't feel better today, I'm taking her to the Vet. My bf is staying home with her today as I had to go to work, and keeping her a close watch to make sure she's at least still drinking water. The medicine we got her has helped, but I'm afraid these MINTIES that have caused my Maltipoo to get violently ill are going to do more damage.
My Australian Terrier will eat ANYTHING, and his stools have also been runny and un-normal, but not as bad as my Maltipoo.
Still - Minties should make sure they have a safe formula. No product should cause this type of distress in a dog and this much damage. That's not safe.
My Maltipoo was gifted to me for my birthday and she is my soul. I love her more than anything in this world and I just want her to feel better. I'm really upset and it's painful to watch my Maltipoo be in this kind of state.
I will try to add photo and video if possible.
I would never recommend this product to anyone. I have over 1,000 followers on social media and have already let them know to avoid this product.
