Dog Condoms? Meat scented? Somebody thought this was a good idea?

I can't believe something like this even got made, let alone got to the preliminary testing phase. I mean, even *IF* a person believed that neutering a dog was a bad thing, I can't make the logical jump from that point, to putting the condom on for the dog. And meat scented condoms?

No... Just no.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Bloomington, IN – August 3, 2005 -- Dog Condoms, Inc.
is announcing a voluntary recall of its Dog Condoms® canine prophylactics, due
to an unacceptable failure rate reported during preliminary release in test
markets. Use of these recalled condoms may result in unwanted canine pregnancies.
Additionally, meat-scented Dog Condoms® may present a choking hazard, especially
for smaller dogs.

These condoms were sold to consumers in limited test markets after May 1, 2005.
The Dog Condoms® affected by this recall include all Dog Condom® products released
to market, including Small, Medium, and Large Canine sizes, in both the lubricated
and meat-scented varieties.

Initial clinical trials with training veterinary staff yielded good results for
Dog Condoms®. The statistics for incidents of unplanned conception for unaltered
canines using the condom while engaging in mating behavior represented less than
.5% of the clinical sample group. However, the success of these veterinary trials
did not carry over into their use by dog owners in test markets. Following three
months of limited consumer trials in seven test market cities across the U.S.,
consumers using the product reported 102 incidents of unwanted pregnancies
resulting from apparent failure of Dog Condoms® products.

Another 15 consumers reported choking incidents resulting from animals attempting
to ingest Dog Condoms® meat-scented condoms. No fatalities were reported as a result
of the choking incidents, but medical intervention was required in 4 cases.

Dog Condoms® researchers are currently investigating the cause of the product
failures. It is not yet clear whether the product failed to perform correctly in
these cases as a result of flaws in design, material, or manufacturing, due to
faulty quality control, or if the failures resulted from incorrect use of Dog
Condoms® by consumers. The recalled product lots will be carefully analyzed to
determine if faulty materials were a factor. If this is the case, the company
will address the flaw at the appropriate stage of the production process to
insure the integrity of the product.

If it is found that the product failure was a result of dog owner error,
additional study will be done to address issues of ease of use and consumer
education. If necessary, Dog Condoms® products may undergo a redesign to make
them more user-friendly and reliably functional. Additional focus groups may
be used to test the efficacy of the products’ labeling and written instructions
for use.

All Dog Condoms® meat-scented products will be discontinued indefinitely. The
products in question were sold in the following cities: Baltimore, MD;
Richmond, VA; Omaha, NE, Providence, RI; Baton Rouge, LA; Sioux City, IA; and
Madison, WI. The manufacturer has notified stores in all test markets of this
recall and requested that all Dog Condoms® products be pulled from shelves
immediately and returned to the manufacturer. Consumers who purchased Dog Condoms®
products may return the unused portion of the product to the place of purchase,
where they will be refunded the value of the sale, or mail the product to the
manufacturer with proof of purchase for reimbursement. Dog owners who received
samples of Dog Condoms® products from their veterinarian are asked to return any
unused product to the vet who distributed it. All veterinary offices that received
shipments of Dog Condoms® products have been notified of this recall and are advised
to discontinue distribution of the products and return them to the manufacturer
immediately.

Until this issue has successfully been resolved, no further market trials are
planned, and Dog Condoms® products will not be made available again to the public
until further notice.

Potty Putter.

Off topic? Maybe. I'd just like to go out on a limb and say that there is a TONE of stupid crap on the market today.

More on topic, this is stupid. Is it any more humain than nutering the dog? Does the dog get a say in having a baloon on his dicky? And I'm sorry, MEAT SENTED?!

Hope the puppies or girls aren't HUNGRY as well...owie.

I'll tell you what the problem is... meat scented... i mean come on any dog would eat anything meat scented. And how do you even put that on the dog... while its sleeping... it looks like it would be pretty damn hard.

*makes pun about smelly meat/condoms*
I've heard about a woman getting an abortion for their pet but I'm not sure which is more stupid this or that.
*WAlks away slowly*

*declines to comment

Do they make them for cats too
tuna scented

hehehe

How the hell are you going to get this on your dog on time?

its not like they intend these for just people with mixed sex dogs in the same house, this idea is just foolish and how did they come up with this with out laughing the faces off?

You know, I'm studying English and Japanese at college to be a translator, and after reading about bukkake and this, I'm not really sure I want my fellow people to know about them damn foreigners. I mean, I can understand dog condoms, but having them MEAT SCENTED? What's wrong with you people?

Just kidding. I'll be telling everyone tomorrow. I like inflicting SAN damage.

...this is probably one of the dumbest and most useless inventions ever. And the meat scent doesn't help either.

It's not that hard to keep your female dog locked up for a month. Besides, they have to use panties during that period of time... just how...? -_-'

Not surprised that they're recalling it. I wonder what pipe dream inspired this retarded product? -_-;

Dogs attempting to "chew their own meat", as it were?

Sweet lemon chicken, I did not just type that.
