A Bag of Calcium Chews Cost Grace $500!


I saw Grace Sexton in the office today and was startled when she told me a bag of chocolate calcium chews cost her $500. This is the story she said I could share with you.

Grace recently bought a bag of chocolate chews for calcium supplementation and placed it in a drawer at home. The chews must have smelled irresistible to her dog since he opened the drawer and proceeded to eat all 50 of them, wrappers and all!

That amount of calcium is toxic and chocolate is dangerous to a dog as well so off to the veterinarian they went. The dog was hydrated with IV fluids and his stomach was pumped. Five hundred dollars later the dog recovered.

This could be the most costly bag of calcium chews ever.
