Home Depot

On 08.10.19 my wife and I purchased a dog bed item number [protected], valued at $19.98. See attached receipt.
Over a few days of using the bed, our dog started to itch. Upon inspection we noticed she had some reddening under her belly.
Her coat is washed once a week so it was unusual to see marks appearing on her skin.
As the weeks went by her skin became worse. She was scratching more and was crying through the night.
After investigation the only thing that changed in her diet and routine was the new dog bed.
We removed the cover of the bed to check the contents. Upon unzipping the cover we were appalled to find the following items inside:
Matted Brown fiber, riddled with sharp wood shavings and debris.
No wonder our pet was in distress.
Lying on the bed caused painful sores which after constant scratching, resulted in the loss of her fur. See attached pictures.
We took her to the vet - Doctor Garret, on 09.16.19. He has been her vet for just under 9 years.
He was very disturbed with the condition of her skin and was confused by the horrible contents inside the bed.
He advised us to report this issue to head office to make sure this product is removed from your stores immediately.
Whoever created this bed, was cruel and has intentially caused uneccessery suffering to our pet.
She received 2 injections, one anti biotic, one anti inflammatory and a 28 day course of anti biotics tablets costing $133.00. See attached vets bill.
We are seeking compensation for our dogs pain and suffering, which lasted several weeks, reimbursement of our vets bill, the cost of the bed and a promise to remove this product from all of your stores.
Please note, it was purchased at store 11001 Pines Blvd Pembroke Pines, Florida
