I feel like I let your down we had no idea this was such a thing of a simple thing like a chip bag or a dog food bag can be so cruel. I did some research and found this is not a freak accident and happens more often that we know which is why we are sharing our story. As they go in for the crumbs they was inhaling thus creating a suction and the bag becomes impossible to remove. 3-5 pet suffocation’s get reported every week and 42% of those occur while the owner is in the next room. It only takes about 3 minutes for their oxygen to drop to fatal levels. 90% of the incidents reported the owner had never heard of this until it happened to them (us included).
Suffocation via chip bags is so common that there is a website created to help create awareness. On the Preventpetsuffocation.com website, there is an entire page full of photos to remember the pets who did not survive. Rip Chip we so loved you
