Pet Sitter Faces Hefty Vet Bill After Dog Ate Paper-Wrapped Bread and Grapes, Furious Owner Refuses To Share The Expenses

by May

Got a doggo that seems to munch on anything in sight? Well, you are not alone!

It might gross some pet parents out, but believe it or not, this scavenging habit is totally natural for our furry friends. Those curious canines especially love to chow down on all sorts of stuff they come across, from leaves and trash to stones and even the occasional unfortunate critter.

Whether it's humans or our furry friends, when it comes to consuming non-edible things, we use the term "Pica." Dogs dealing with pica seem to have this almost irresistible urge to snack on non-digestible items.

Some believe it might be because these pups are missing crucial minerals or nutrients from their diet. If you suspect your fur buddy might be showing signs of pica, it's a good idea to reach out to your vet for some advice.

Today's story from the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit is about a Redditor who helped their friend by pet-sitting their dog while she was taking a learning program. According to the original poster (OP), their friend was only able to secure an apartment share near the learning program and it didn't allow pets.

The OP also mentioned that the dog eats everything, including plastic wraps. One day, amidst the OP's household chores, an unfortunate incident unfolded – they got so engrossed that they forgot to put away the groceries.

The dog, true to its nature, ended up devouring bread with paper wrap and a bunch of grapes. The OP took the dog to the vet and ended up with a hefty 600-euro vet bill.

When the OP approached their friend about covering the expenses, things took an unexpected turn. The friend, instead of being understanding, angrily refused, accusing the OP of nearly causing harm to her dog.

The OP can't shoulder the 600-euro bill on their own, so they asked the owner for help.

Redditors didn't side with the OP because of their negligence.

Had they stored away all the groceries, the dog wouldn't have access to it.

A few people believe it was an accident.

If the OP wants to deal with the ghosting friend fairly, they need to surrender the dog to a no-kill shelter.

In some places, the OP can already claim the dog as theirs, because they've been taking care of it for the past seven months.

Ultimately, the vet bill is the owner's responsibility. But since the OP is also at fault, she should also contribute to the expenses to be fair.

While accidents are bound to happen because of the dog's personality, it is true that the OP was negligent. Their friend, however, can't just have the OP shoulder the entire bill.

To make things fair, they need to split it by half because the dog is both their responsibility. If the friend keeps ignoring them, the OP might have to surrender to the dog to a shelter.
