<v Speaker 1>Jare, Katie and Josh one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>This came in from Emily. She actually messaged me on

<v Speaker 2>my Instagram account the other day. She says, Hey, Jair Bear,

<v Speaker 2>I love you guys. Do you ever want to talk

<v Speaker 2>about pet stuff? She's like, I got a good one

<v Speaker 2>for you. Last week, my dog Murphy decided socks were

<v Speaker 2>a five star meal. Oh he ate them, she says,

<v Speaker 2>not just one, not just two, not just three, but

<v Speaker 2>four pairs of socks or was it.

<v Speaker 3>Four individual socks? Anyway, he had four socks in him.

<v Speaker 2>I think I didn't realize it until he started doing

<v Speaker 2>that weird eye might puke dog face.

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yep, yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of those, she said. Off to the vet

<v Speaker 2>we went. They had to surgically remove the socks. Apparently

<v Speaker 2>he's not into digesting cotton.

<v Speaker 3>She said. Total bill over two thousand dollars.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I.

<v Speaker 3>Could have boughtom a lifetime supply of dog treats.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's back to his usual self. And I'm just

<v Speaker 2>sitting here guarding the laundry as I write. You tell

<v Speaker 2>me I'm not the only one whose pet has cost

<v Speaker 2>them a fortune. Again, Love you guys, And that's Emily

<v Speaker 2>I wrote back, I said, where are you from?

<v Speaker 3>She says she's out in Arvada, So Emily and Arevada.

<v Speaker 2>So if you've had a massive vet bill, how much

<v Speaker 2>did your pet cost you? Three oh three six nine

<v Speaker 2>one mix three oh three six nine one.

<v Speaker 3>Sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 2>I've already got Austin, Anika and Christina lined up on

<v Speaker 2>the phone. I will tell you on Sunday night. This

<v Speaker 2>past Sunday, Nick Knack had to take our dog, Goldiefawn

<v Speaker 2>into the emergency vet at ten pm.

<v Speaker 3>Oh, yes, at night, Yeah, because.

<v Speaker 2>She found out a few hours earlier my son had

<v Speaker 2>been downstairs washing some grapes off and he had dropped

<v Speaker 2>a grape on the floor. Didn't get to it fast

<v Speaker 2>enough and goldiefan ate the grape.

<v Speaker 4>That's a bad move.

<v Speaker 2>I had a hunch because I heard that that happened,

<v Speaker 2>and I said, grapes poisonous to dogs.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, severely poisonous.

<v Speaker 2>So we googled it, Katie, Yeah, and it said exactly

<v Speaker 2>what you just said, grapes are poisonous to dogs. So

<v Speaker 2>we went through that, oh, back and forth for a

<v Speaker 2>couple hours. And the more she read, the more she

<v Speaker 2>was getting freaked out. Ten o'clock at night. Er vat

<v Speaker 2>made the dog throw up three times, did blood tests,

<v Speaker 2>gave her fluids eight hundred dollars just to say everything's negative.

<v Speaker 2>Everything's fine. But because my dog ate the grape, the

<v Speaker 2>VET recommends that you still come back for the next

<v Speaker 2>three days, the next seventy two hours and do blood

<v Speaker 2>tests to make sure because it can still be in

<v Speaker 2>the dog systems seventy two.

<v Speaker 3>Hours later and cause kidney failure.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Yeah, no, it's like that one.

<v Speaker 3>Hundred dollars a pop. So the one grape. One grape

<v Speaker 3>cost us over one thousand dollars.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my god. But again, like I would have to

<v Speaker 4>agree with the colon that one.

<v Speaker 5>Like if that was the situation, I probably, like I

<v Speaker 5>would have hated myself if something happened.

<v Speaker 4>I felt the same.

<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, I was like, there's no no symptoms.

<v Speaker 2>She's not lethargic, she's not throwing up, she doesn't have diarrhea. Like,

<v Speaker 2>but the more she read, she's like, I'm taking her in.

<v Speaker 2>She was like, well, you're the boss.

<v Speaker 4>The grapes with dogs are so I.

<v Speaker 3>Had no idea how incredibly toxic they are.

<v Speaker 6>Ye.

<v Speaker 2>Now, the vet told us it's like it depends on

<v Speaker 2>the dog too. She's like, you can have a dog

<v Speaker 2>eat an entire bowl of grapes and be fine, and

<v Speaker 2>then you can have a dog eat one grape and

<v Speaker 2>it'll kill him.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>So kind of the same with chocolate, Like some dogs

<v Speaker 5>can handle it and some cannot.

<v Speaker 2>So if you're not aware of that and you're a

<v Speaker 2>pet owner, don't let your dogs eat grapes or something

<v Speaker 2>in the or chocolate.

<v Speaker 3>There's something in the skin that'll kill them. And onions too.

<v Speaker 4>I think it's onions.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, full fall lines right now. But if somebody drops

<v Speaker 2>off and you want to sound off, what was your

<v Speaker 2>vet bill? Three oh three, six nine one, sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 2>I am going to get to Anika and Christina first.

<v Speaker 3>Who's been hold the longest? Annika, Hi, Anika, welcome to

<v Speaker 3>the show.

<v Speaker 7>Hey guys, name, good morning.

<v Speaker 3>So you had a hefty vet bill.

<v Speaker 8>Well, so, first one, I didn't technically have to pay.

<v Speaker 8>My parents paid because it was my dog and I

<v Speaker 8>was still living at home. But I was letting him

<v Speaker 8>out to go to the bathroom later at night. It

<v Speaker 8>was probably like nine o'clock at night and I had

<v Speaker 8>led him.

<v Speaker 6>Out to go in the front yard.

<v Speaker 8>And he's a toy poodle. He was little, and at

<v Speaker 8>this point I think he was like five years old.

<v Speaker 8>I didn't know that my sister was not already home,

<v Speaker 8>and so she comes swinging into the driveway, music blaring

<v Speaker 8>with in her car. No, does not see my dog.

<v Speaker 8>He goes running towards her and he runs over him.

<v Speaker 3>No, no, oh.

<v Speaker 7>No?

<v Speaker 3>Was the dog fine?

<v Speaker 8>He no? So we took him to the emergency vet,

<v Speaker 8>the late after hours, late night emergency vet. He had

<v Speaker 8>shattered his pelvis.

<v Speaker 3>I bet honestly did they try to fix them?

<v Speaker 8>They did, and it was only because my sister felt

<v Speaker 8>so bad and my parents don't didn't think that she

<v Speaker 8>could live with that guilt if they had just put

<v Speaker 8>him down.

<v Speaker 3>So how much to repair a shattered pelvis.

<v Speaker 8>On a toy poodle? It was eight thousand dollars?

<v Speaker 3>It makes my thousand dollars seemed like no big deal.

<v Speaker 2>Eight okay, So hold on, little dog a k I

<v Speaker 2>gotta ask, did it survive?

<v Speaker 8>He lived another eleven years?

<v Speaker 3>Worth it if you said no sadly the next day.

<v Speaker 9>But.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah, another eleven years.

<v Speaker 10>So he's thirty.

<v Speaker 3>Okay, So my dog, now.

<v Speaker 8>She is the stupidest dog I don't know how she

<v Speaker 8>hasn't died yet, and I stopped taking her to the

<v Speaker 8>vet because I'm like, she's super taking money on you

<v Speaker 8>and you're not.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but don't work. Eight thousand dollars on the shattered pelvis.

<v Speaker 3>That is a hefty, hefty bill in a yeah, god, yeah,

<v Speaker 3>so you're in the lead. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. Well,

<v Speaker 3>we appreciate you calling in. Thank you so much. Annaka.

<v Speaker 2>Let's hop over to Christina. She's been holding forever high Christina.

<v Speaker 10>Hi, how are you well?

<v Speaker 3>We're super dupes. Can you beat eight thousand dollars?

<v Speaker 10>I can? Unfortunately?

<v Speaker 4>Oh no?

<v Speaker 3>Okay, So what was your vet bill?

<v Speaker 10>So seventy five hundred dollars dim cell therapy treatment bill

<v Speaker 10>turned into a total of twenty five thousand, five hundred dollars.

<v Speaker 3>Twenty five thousand dollars.

<v Speaker 4>I'm shocked.

<v Speaker 3>What yeah, okay, what kind of dog? And how old

<v Speaker 3>was the dog?

<v Speaker 10>German Shepherd? And she was seven?

<v Speaker 2>So twenty five thousand on a seven year old dog.

<v Speaker 2>That's a large dog.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>How long is she in the ba? Is she still alive?

<v Speaker 10>She's still alive and it's two years later?

<v Speaker 4>Okay?

<v Speaker 6>Was it?

<v Speaker 3>Where is it to you for the twenty five grand.

<v Speaker 10>Yes, maybe not my husband, but you.

<v Speaker 4>Just said she's your baby, like, yeah.

<v Speaker 10>She's one of our babies.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>So it was twenty five for stem cell therapy.

<v Speaker 10>Well, the stem cell therapy treatment was seventy five hundred,

<v Speaker 10>and then they found a mass at that time with

<v Speaker 10>the surgery for the stem cell they removed the mass

<v Speaker 10>and it was in a weird spot. So every time

<v Speaker 10>she sat down her surgery incisions opened, they stitched a

<v Speaker 10>doughnut ring onto her. I called her butt cheek. Sorry,

<v Speaker 10>all right, the best way to explain it. So, and

<v Speaker 10>then I had to go every single day to Boulder

<v Speaker 10>for almost forty five days. Every day I drove from

<v Speaker 10>Thornton to Boulder to have that cleaned out, repassed until

<v Speaker 10>it would start to heal, and they put like skin

<v Speaker 10>grafting over it.

<v Speaker 2>Christine, I will tell you that dog is extremely lucky

<v Speaker 2>to have you because I would have been seventy five done. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>and I'm kind of on the husband's side. We got

<v Speaker 2>a bunch of calls to get to Christina, but so

<v Speaker 2>far she's.

<v Speaker 3>In the lead.

<v Speaker 2>Twenty five thousand dollars a lot of money sewing up

<v Speaker 2>that butt cheek all the time. Oh god, she is

<v Speaker 2>lucky to have Christina. All right, here's Austin Hi, Austin.

<v Speaker 10>Hi, how are you well?

<v Speaker 3>We're super dupes. Tell us about your vet bill.

<v Speaker 1>So, my dog tore her acl a few years ago,

<v Speaker 1>and that was about it wasn't hers, but it was

<v Speaker 1>seven thousand dollars football. They say it's genetic. Really, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>So if they tear one, the chances of them carry

<v Speaker 1>another one it's sixty percent.

<v Speaker 3>Oh god, and you lucked out and got that dog.

<v Speaker 1>No, she tore the other one.

<v Speaker 9>Two years later.

<v Speaker 1>She's all fourteen fourteen thousand dollars dog now just walking around.

<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, I can't even. I can't even.

<v Speaker 5>And like there's also the thing with pets, like the

<v Speaker 5>insurance doesn't cover their medical procedures like humans, right, so.

<v Speaker 1>Don't cover any sort of like ligament issues.

<v Speaker 2>So my sisters got the pet insurance and they had

<v Speaker 2>an issue with their pug and it was, you know,

<v Speaker 2>ten thousand dollars, and the insurance covered like five hundred

<v Speaker 2>bucks of it. I know, it's not that it's a racket.

<v Speaker 2>It's a racket, the pet insurance. Well, if anyone's thinking

<v Speaker 2>about getting a pet today.

<v Speaker 4>Decisions, but they bring so much joy.

<v Speaker 3>What was your dog's name? Or is your dog's name?

<v Speaker 10>Her name is actually kitty Kitty.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I love that.

<v Speaker 2>That's pretty good. That's pretty good, Austin. Thank you calling

<v Speaker 2>in with that hefty bill.

<v Speaker 3>Who else we got? Stephanie? Hi, Stephanie.

<v Speaker 6>Hello?

<v Speaker 11>Hello?

<v Speaker 3>All right, tell us about that vet bill.

<v Speaker 9>Yeah, So, my during COVID April of twenty twenty, my

<v Speaker 9>dog started pooping, vomiting everything, lost like twenty something pounds

<v Speaker 9>and couldn't figure out what it was. We thought it

<v Speaker 9>was diet related, so we were switching all these foods

<v Speaker 9>going to the vet. Final vet bill from figuring out

<v Speaker 9>what it was was limp fangic casia, and his bill

<v Speaker 9>ended up being around seven eight thousand when it was

<v Speaker 9>all said and done. From figuring out.

<v Speaker 3>That what was the name of it? It sounds like

<v Speaker 3>a Disney villain.

<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I know, it's called limphangic limp fangic casia. And

<v Speaker 9>his intestines didn't absorb protein, so super low fat had

<v Speaker 9>to give him good protein.

<v Speaker 5>Uh.

<v Speaker 9>And then to follow it up like two months later,

<v Speaker 9>I kid you not.

<v Speaker 10>He ate.

<v Speaker 9>Five boxes of yogurt covered raisins.

<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh.

<v Speaker 9>And I looked at my husband and I was like, oh,

<v Speaker 9>hell if this is how he wants to go out

<v Speaker 9>and this.

<v Speaker 3>Is his own damn fault, right, yeah, exactly, yes, yeah,

<v Speaker 3>so God you were up there too. What's the dog's name?

<v Speaker 9>His name was Turner. We recently put him down, but

<v Speaker 9>he lived what's that another five and a half years.

<v Speaker 2>Well, and I guess we're worth the money, right exactly, Stephanie.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you for sharing your story with us today.

<v Speaker 6>Thank you.

<v Speaker 3>Bye.

<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Sarah, I'm seeing what's on the screen

<v Speaker 2>here what your dog ate?

<v Speaker 3>And it's cracking me up.

<v Speaker 12>Yeah. So my dog Mia, she's great, but she's obsessed

<v Speaker 12>with water, Like she just loves water. And one day

<v Speaker 12>we had our sprinkler system on like normal, was probably

<v Speaker 12>seven thirty at night. My husband had her outside and

<v Speaker 12>didn't realize that the sprinklers were on because I was

<v Speaker 12>on like every other day schedule. So she was out

<v Speaker 12>there for the entire system going off, probably for like

<v Speaker 12>a half hour, where she ran in our backyard to

<v Speaker 12>each sprinkler head and dug.

<v Speaker 10>It up and eat it.

<v Speaker 9>Oh.

<v Speaker 3>So she's delicious.

<v Speaker 12>Gallons and gallons of water completely ruined our sprinkler system

<v Speaker 12>in our backyard. So she was she was not acting right,

<v Speaker 12>you know, she was like her jaw was cleaned. She

<v Speaker 12>was hiding in the corner. I'm like, we got to

<v Speaker 12>take her in. So we brought her in, and of

<v Speaker 12>course it was after hours, so we had to bring

<v Speaker 12>her to the er and that it wasn't too bad.

<v Speaker 12>They just ran Sorry, you hear my dog in the

<v Speaker 12>background right now.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're talking about me.

<v Speaker 12>So that wasn't too bad. They just ran some tests.

<v Speaker 12>You know, she was okay, she was gonna urinate it out.

<v Speaker 12>But so we had to pay that bill that wasn't

<v Speaker 12>too much. That was like eight hundred bucks, and we

<v Speaker 12>had the bed photo was like eight hundred, but our

<v Speaker 12>sprinkler system that was about five.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess so, yeah, I guess it did in

<v Speaker 2>factor that costume fixing the sprinkler.

<v Speaker 12>Yeah, so her little fun day as she had the

<v Speaker 12>best time of her life that you know, about almost

<v Speaker 12>six thousand dollars.

<v Speaker 3>And then when she after she did that and she

<v Speaker 3>Pete went.

<v Speaker 13>we were like, oh my god. So then I got

<v Speaker 13>the baby, cleaned her, and then my husband got the poop.

<v Speaker 13>But it's actually not a set bill, it's a baby bill.
