Before Fergie's emergency, consumers publicly reported Pup Ice treats swallowed whole (Walmart Feb and Mar 2026, verified), feeling like plastic and not melting (Vetsend Aug 2025, verified), breaking into large hard chunks (Petco, snippet), lodging in the mouth and being 'too hard' (Chewy, unverifiable here). These are consumer concerns, not insurance claims; they go to notice.
