You gotta be careful with those doggos!

That means you gotta keep an eye on what they eat, drink…and play with.

And a woman named Kellie took to TikTok to tell viewers about what happened when her pooch had some major problems after she gave it a toy from BarkBox.

Kellie said her dog ate part of a toy from BarkBox and became sick.

She explained, “I was watching her as she was trying to settle down and get comfortable, and she was so restless.”

Kellie continued, “She’d sit in a spot, then she’d get up and she’d move somewhere else. Then she’d come lay on me, and she’d go somewhere else, and she just, poor thing, she just looked so uncomfortable.”

Kellie continued, “And I’m like, okay. Aloha, our vet, they close at midnight. They are also an urgent care, you can use them for emergencies. They are only closed from midnight to six every day, so I was like, we’ve got to take her in before it’s midnight.”

Kellie’s vet told her that they had to perform exploratory surgery on the puppy to see what was causing the obstruction and it would cost between $5,000 and $8,000.

The vet was able to remove the part of the dog toy and Kellie’s puppy is expected to make a full recovery.

Here’s the video.

UPDATE – Nov 7:

The DailyDot contacted Barkbox and they had this to say about the incident:

“We put great care and attention into the design and safety of our toys, and each product undergoes rigorous testing. We’ve developed comprehensive testing protocols to create the safest and most enjoyable toys for dogs. Our team of inspectors complete more than 2,000 inspections each year, evaluating over 800,000 toys for even the most minor imperfections.”

Kellie was also contacted by BarkBox and was told that they received no other complaints from dog owners about their pooches eating pieces of that toy.
