It was normal kibble, no fruit pieces. Was the bone you mentioned cooked or
broken?
Absolutely, I agree that people should be aware of all incidents so that they can
make an educated choice, and I hope that this discussion has shown people that
both kibble and bone are both extremely low risk ways of feeding (in terms of
choking or other physical damage).
I'm not sure about drawing conclusions about rate from one or two incidents though
:) That sort of data pool is a bit small for my liking.
