Caution around epileptic dogs!

After 3 hours intensive researching for the best value/brightness commuter light I chose the metro 500 over the 350. Was not disappointed.  Stupidly bright daytime strobe mode -good for stunning deer or epileptic dogs!  The night flash mode is also good with its timed strobe sequence rather than the usual on/off flash.  Didn't have any problem with the handlebar mount other than requiring a little super-glue to keep the rubber in place. USB charging and feedback light works a charm.  Hope to get many years reliable service out of it. Thanks to Cygolite for getting it right!

Actually one and a half stars! Don't watch if you are prone to epileptic seizures! All the flashing scenes will bring a seizure on!!

Our dog almost choked and died chewing on these yesterday right in front of my eyes! It happened so fast, she ended up swallowing it as we were trying to get it out of her mouth :( I do NOT recommend even under supervision!

New user to this. Our boxer-mastiff mix has started having grand mal seizures. Vet put him on phenobarbital but still having problem. Two nights after starting this new med he had three in one night. But after that, none for almost two weeks. So very hopeful. Only complaint this stuff tastes bad so have to mix it in honey and peanut butter to get him to take it. I will upgrade to a five, forgiving the bad taste  if he goes longer without another seizure.

Please do not buy this for your pet. I bought this for my 12 year old yellow lab, in hopes that it would take care of her flea problem. Instead, the morning after I had applied this, she woke up being unable to walk and having seizures. I was dumb founded as to what could have happened to her and rushed her to the vet. My veterinarian states the only possible reason for this happening to her is the flea medication she received the night before. She was a healthy, happy, loving baby. Currently she is still in the vet's office, receiving fluids to attempt to flush the medication out of her body, and receiving phenobarbital to keep the seizures at bay. Although they have to monitor her through out the night, they state it is likely she will not make it. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS FOR YOUR PET!

was feeding my dog  Purina dog food from grocery store.  He started have a seizure like  Epilepsy.  But it wasn't it was dog cramping disease or  they call it Spikes disease.  I changed his food to  Ideal balance and no more seizures!  grocery food for pets are trash.

I am not one to write a review on something that I haven't actually used but I felt that I must warn other pet owners before making this purchase. I was looking for something to help my 10 pound Chihuahua mix who has horrible teeth. He needs a cleaning about once every six months and although he will let me brush them, I can't get the brush far back enough in his mouth to get the molars. I'd heard of drinking water additives and that's what led me here. I always check the ingredients on anything that I give to my dogs and this was no exception. Amazon didn't have the ingredients listed so I went to the website for this product. The ingredients are listed as follows:

Purified water, Glycerine, Xylitol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium sorbate, Emilgase (enzyme), Zinc gluconate, Sodium benzoate, FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Yellow No. 5 and Chlorhexidine gluconate.

XYLITOL?! REALLY?! As little as a gram of this sweetener can kill a 10-pound dog. It can lead to low blood sugar,hypoglycemia-induced seizures and sometimes fatal liver failure. I don't care how diluted it would be in the water but I am absolutely not about to give my dogs anything that contains something that is considered to be a known toxin to pets. I wouldn't dilute arsenic into their water bowl either and I am certainly not going to add this. Xylitol is relatively new on the vet scene in terms of things to look out for as far as poisoning goes, so how do we know that constant low doses given in a diluted form will not eventually lead to liver failure? No how, no way would I give this to my pets!

We have a 80 lb 5 year old Husky. Gave her a brushing chew later found that she threw up. Didn't think too much about it until every day that we gave her one we noticed that she was panting, heart racing, agitated and just SICK. We read the ingredients of course don't know what most of the ingredients are, but there is something in these that just aren't safe for our dog. So if you do give these Dental treats to your dog, make sure you watch them for about an hour afterwards to see if there are any side affects. Its HORRIBLE to watch be sick because of something you gave them !

We finally decided to order this toy for our 55 pound female german Shepard who LOVES toys. She has a collection that fills 3 huge toy boxes so we thought we'd give this a shot. She immediately went nuts for it. She loves it. Unfortunately it is NOT a safe toy for her. Within exactly 24 hours, she has managed to break pieces of the ball off which are EXTREMELY sharp!! Thankfully we have only been letting her use it while we are watching because twice we have had to take it away after finding sharp pieces of plastic. It is a very hard plastic material. Looks to be indestructible but it is definitely not. We've taken the ball from her after only one day and will have to throw it out. The damage it can cause to a dogs stomach and intestinal tract would be devastating if those shards of plastic were to be swallowed.  We will now stick to her usual stuffed squeaky toys that have always been succesful and safe for her to play with. Use caution when giving this toy to your pet! Please!!! Do not leave them unattended!!!

These made my dog extremely sick! She was breathing heavy and vomiting all night and had diarrhea the next night. Very lethargic and not eating after trip to vet and antibiotics resulted in second trip to vet. X-rays revealed enlarged heart and liver. Not sure what the outcome will be but I truly believe these were toxic. She was fine before. So please read the other negative reviews on here and on facebook with others saying these made their dogs sick if you have any doubts.

I have been using the Seizure med for about 1 1/2 weeks.  Could you tell me what the natural oils are that are in this med...my Vet wants to know.  Also, the med seems to calm my dog however, she is still having seizures whenever a new person comes into the house.  I have been using 2 sprays twice a day.

Thank you,

So I seem to have the same problem as another reviewer - my dog wanted nothing to do with this.  I gave it to her and she just looked at me like I was crazy to even suggest she play / chew on it.

I also have reservations about how safe this product is for a dog to use.  It says blended bone material from the USA but it was assembled in China.  In the fine print on the back of the packaging it says you must supervise your pet when they use this toy.  I don't know about you but half the reason of giving my dog a toy is so she can happily go off and pretend to bury it or chew on it while I do other things around the house.  A dog toy that I can't let her use unsupervised seems questionable to me.

The information from the packaging is copied below to help you be informed about this product.
"As with any product, supervise your pet's use of this toy. Inspect product regularly for rips or tears and remove toy if damaged or if parts become separated, as injury may result.  BoneBlend is not for consumption (all in bold) and may leave sharp edges if small pieces are chewed off. Not intended for games of toss or throwing.  Intended for pets only.  Keep out of reach of children."

Unfortunately, I bought this product before I spoke to my doctor. He told me I should NOT use it because it can damage the liver. The other health claims for xylitol are dubious, at the least. If you decide to use it, use it only therapeutically.

In addition, it can be deadly to your pets: in fact, just 2 xylitol gums can kill a dog. So if your pets get into the foods you cook with xilitol, they can become violently ill, and even die. It is worth the risk, if you have pets?

Too bad for me: when I tried to return it, I discovered that it's NOT returnable. Sadly, 10 minutes after delivery, it went into the trash unopened. That was over $20 down a rat hole.

Skip this product, and go to erythritol instead.

My 90lb lab used to eat Beneful but started having seizures out of nowhere. I was told that it could be from the dog food so I started feeding him Rachel Ray Zero Grain. He hasn't had a seizure in a year and a half! Its a little pricey but he seems to love the food !

RECALL...this is a very unhealthy product for pets. Don't take the risk! I don't want to see anyone's best friend get hurt:(

I have two dogs that get easily bored while my husband and I are away at work. We decided that freezing this product in the Kongs overnight and giving them to the dogs in the morning would be a good way to keep them occupied. Within a week, one of my dog had a severe upset stomach and we went to the vet. My dog was put on prescription dog food and we went on our way. We were also warned about the calories associated with giving dogs a treat on a daily basis.

If you are looking for a product to put in your Kong, I would suggest researching dog-safe foods like pumpkin or regular peanut butter. Just make sure that you check for artificial sweeteners as they are toxic for dogs.

My two year old German Shepherd/Rottweiler mixed dog had his first seizure last December.  After another seizure episode this week, he has now been diagnosed as an "idiomatic" epileptic and will require seizure therapy for the rest of his life.  As an owner of a now "special needs" dog, I have sought out to educate myself regarding his condition.  I came across this book in my search but have found it to be a disappointment.  The author does not solely focus on canine seizures and spends too much time discussing alternative therapies, alternative diets, other medical conditions, etc.  The theme of the book focused more on "bucking" everything my vet has told me (I have every confidence in my vet and the staff at MedVets in Ohio) in favor of alternative therapies, diet, etc.  I was looking for practical information regarding treatment, epileptic drugs, drug reactions, what to expect, etc. but this information was covered (briefly) in a few chapters (Chapter 4, 6, 7, & 10 for a total of 34 pgs).  The remaining 8 chapters (and 120 pgs) were of little benefit as they were devoted to ""Dealing with Loss", "The Doctor-Client Relationship," Normal Canine Structure & Function," Dietary Therapy," "Alternative Therapies," "Additional Health Concerns," etc.  I was slightly hesitant to purchase this book based on the fact that (per the "About the Author" section) Ms. Levin is a RN by education; her medical background is as a registered nurse.  Although she states that she managed an ophthalmic veterinary clinic, but I don't see how running a vet clinic (a business) qualifies her to author a book regarding canine epilepsy.  After purchasing this book, I can see this is the case.  The majority of the book did not provide me any useful information and I will be continuing my research on canine epilepsy elsewhere.  If you are looking for canine epilepsy resources, I would only recommend a cursory review of this book via your local library.  In my opinion, it was not worth the purchase price.
