    Joey ate 1/2 a bag of treats

       Joey ate a 1/2 a package of Red Barn Lil' Chompers.  They are 100% beef lung with 75% protien and 5% fat. 

    He didn't get dinner tonight because of his late afternoon feast.

    How did he get into this...
    I work for a pet product distribution company.  Red Barn sent me big sample boxes.  I didn't think he could get into my boxes, but he did.

    Should I be worrying about anything?

    By the way, when I say he ate 1/2 a bag, I mean he ate 1.75 oz of beef lung, which is like 2 handfuls.

    I would just watch him for the next three days or so. I think he probably just had himself a tasty snack.

      I think he'll be fine; when we were still fairly new at dog ownership we had taken Jessie to PetsMart and purchased a bag of liver treats along with some other things. Afterwards, we made a brief stop at another store and when we came back to the car the package of treats had been taken out of the shopping bag, ripped open, and all the treats had been eaten. Jessie was fine but we don't leave her alone with temptations like that anymore. Interestingly, she never tries to steal our food if it's left within her reach.

    I think he will be fine.  My guys get lamb lungs daily and when DH and I didn't communicate on how many treats they got one day...they ended up getting about 4 BIG lungs pieces each and they were just fine(each lung was bigger than yor palm).  My guys do great on those but you may end up with some doggie gas  [:'(]

    Alright, where are you guys getting lungs at?
    I've apparently stepped off the nutrition planet and onto school moon or something, but I missed this easy access to lung.[:D]

    Lung?  Never heard of it.  And I have to do a lot of food research for my allergy prone and picky girl?  What makes them wonderful?  Are they dried?  Found in the frozen section?  Where do I get them?

    I would anticipate middle of the night pooping, and some interesting poop, but otherwise, probably no issues. Teenie's done the same thing, before, but with no problems. She has a pretty solid tummy. The only thing (besides a bug they came down with, last year) that's upset her stomach, so far, has been ice cream, and she had WAY too much of it (she was so cute, everybody shared theirs, after she'd eaten hers). If Joey's tummy is sensitive, he'll probably have some runny poops, though.

    Well as a distributor of Red Barn and Merrick products, I can tell you that they are freeze dried.  Red Barn's Beef Lung are called Choppers or Lil Choppers, they come in bags.  Merrick's are called Beef Training Treats and come in containers.  I sell them and can buy them at any Pet Supplies "Plus."

    Rebecca...i get them at a local pet food chain called pet people...but I noticed a few months ago that Petco now carries them.  I get a big back of dried beef or lamb lung for about $20.
    Here is one of the brands I bought at Petco...I think they have several brands there. My guys love them...but the downside is they eat them WAY too fast![;)

    I think he'll be fine.  Once Sally got into the cupboard and ate a packet of mashed potato mix and half a loaf of bread.  She was a bit gasy, but otherwise OK...

    Oh, at least it wasn't bread. He'd have a never ending ear infection.

    A little off topic--but speaking of getting into stuff--Sally has figured out how to OPEN the doors of the new house.  We are going to have to get different door knobs[8|].  This is what we get for feeding her high end food-lolol...
