Dogs in the Netherlands are experiencing a condition similar to werewolf syndrome due to chew toys purchased online.

Attention all dog owners! A warning has been issued by a Dutch health authority regarding a particular brand of chew bone that has been causing some serious problems for our furry friends. The brand in question is Barkoo, a company based in Germany. It has been reported that several dogs in the Netherlands have developed a frightening neurological condition, known as "werewolf syndrome," after consuming these chew bones.

According to local news source Noorder Nieuws, a couple in the city of Groningen had a tragic experience with these chew bones. After giving the treat to their dogs, one of them sadly passed away, while the other had to be rushed to a veterinary hospital. The couple was informed by the vets that the chew bone was the cause of their beloved pet's illness.

In light of these incidents, the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has issued a warning for not only the chew bones, but also for cheese sticks from the same company. They have stated that these products are suspected to be the cause of serious neurological abnormalities in dogs, which can potentially lead to death. The investigation is still ongoing.

This alarming condition, known as werewolf syndrome, can cause severe behavioral issues in dogs. Vets in Germany, where several cases were reported last year, have observed symptoms such as extreme excitement, epileptic fits, and wolf-like howling in affected dogs. Dr. Nina Meyerhoff, a veterinarian in Hanover, shared her observations with German magazine GMX, stating that it seems as though the dogs are experiencing hallucinations and may even try to jump out of windows or become aggressive.

There are also concerns about smaller chews from the same company, as reported by the health watchdog in the Netherlands. Similar cases have been reported in Switzerland, Finland, and Belgium, prompting speculation that the cowhide used in these products may have been contaminated with a toxic substance during the manufacturing process.

In light of these alarming reports, it is crucial for dog owners to heed this warning and avoid purchasing any chew bones or cheese sticks from Barkoo. Our furry companions deserve to be kept safe and healthy, and it is our responsibility to ensure that we are not putting them at risk by giving them potentially harmful treats. Let us all work together to spread the word and protect our beloved pets from this dangerous product.
