Just saw a 6-foot-5 man in tears at Banfield hospital in Petsmart because his dog swallowed AirTag

Yeh, again what is the problem? Just wait for the Dog to **** it out. The Vet will always say to take the most extreme reaction, they want their money.

People don't seem to put this together. Unless people take their pets to the vet, the vet goes out of business. Considering most people do not have the disposable cash to spend on unnecessary vet visits for their pet, this means any time you do go to the vet, they are going to do everything they can to charge you for services.

product disclaimer.

"A Deloitte survey of 2,000 consumers in the U.S found that 91% of people consent to legal terms and services conditions without reading them. For younger people, ages 18-34 the rate is even higher with 97% agreeing to conditions before reading."

Forgetting the disclaimers, it is obvious that the product is not meant to track anything other than personal items that you carry with you at all times. This is why it is linked to 1 iPhone, does not support "shared tracking", and will beep incessantly if it is out of range of you for a period of time.

Someone needs to teach the people at PetSmart. Salt. Need to get your dog to throw up, give them a bowl of salt. They'll keep licking until they throw up.

And, for those saying that the dog will just pass it - dogs can ingest larger objects than they can pass. We had a cocker spaniel that was awful for eating things she shouldn't (one was a "super ball" that was 2" in diameter) - each time, she got opened up because there was no way she was going to pass it.

Obviously, repeat performances are bad - it builds up scar tissue, opening your dog up like that.

i would never go to a place recommending feeding a dog a bunch of salt to make it throw up....thats probably the craziest thing i have read in a long time, a good way to kill the dog. when you get to the levels of vommiting from salt you will likely give it sodium ion poisoning.

hydrogen peroxide 3% or lower, thats the safest way.
