In this video, I highlight the potential danger that Gorilla Glue, if swallowed, can cause your dog.

The timelapse video segment films what happens when the glue is in contact with liquids, in this case a bowl of water, but could easily be the inside of your pet’s stomach.

After about 45 minutes, the glue triples in size and becomes hardened. If this happened to your pet, it would require emergency surgery. You can prevent such an emergency to your puppy or other pet by keeping these glues in hard-to-access places away from your pet.

Please share this important video around, and encourage your friends, family, and followers to do the same. All pet owners, as well as all parents of small children, truly need to see this.

Thank you.

Jason

Thank you, all! Your shares, contributions, and support made the success of my IndieGoGo campaign all possible… thank you :-)

I’ll be getting in touch soon with surveys to get T-shirt sizes, book choices, etc. Stay tuned.

For those who didn’t get in on the campaign opportunity to pre-order the books, or get other perks, you will have your chance soon. I’m expecting the books to be ready around mid-December and then they’ll be available on my website and (hopefully) in vet offices, shelters, and other places around the country. Watch the website for updates.

Thank you all again, and have a wonderful day!
