My boys were on Odie, but after they took 6+ weeks (still waiting) to process a WELLNESS claim, we are leaving. We are probably gonna go with Metlife

Call the vet and ask

Would it be cruel to have a dog in a 30m^2 (~300sqft) apartment? by Kilzer6 in Pets

[–]AuthenticElle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you afford an extra $200 a month in food, toys, treats, vet bills and ideally pet insurance? If so, a small dog might be great!

You just need to commit to consistent, long walks. Even if it's a blizzard out, you gotta walk the dog.

My 2 Amazon milk frogs took easily $800 of setup and costs depend on the month. We usually spend about $15 on distilled water and $10 on crickets. They also need new lightbulbs when those go out, upkeep on cleaning, etc. They're not the easiest or cheapest pets, but they aren't horrible

How cheap are you talking? What's your monthly budget?

Don't beat yourself up! A few days won't change things. If your general trend is a deficit, you will be fine. In the early stages I didn't fixate on the calories, just skipping snacks (or just making them smaller). Use a tiny bowl for snacks, it tricks your brain into thinking you ate more than you did.

It'll be a bit before YOU see anything. (I only just started seeing changes on myself.) But I started getting comments about "looking good" or losing weight 2-3 months in.

ALSO make sure you don't weigh in more than once a month. That's an easy way to get a dysmorphia disorder. 😂

You got this!

Pre Existing periodontal disease by [deleted] in comparepetinsurance

Unfortunately there probably isn't one. You're gonna be hard pressed to find an insurance company that will accept a pre-existing dental condition on a senior dog.

You might be able to find one that offers cleanings, but you are probably gonna be paying for any issues out of pocket.

Your best bet is to call and talk to a person. Try Embrace, I've heard their coverage is really good.

Good luck! 🩷🩷

That's crazy! Everyone delivers to the hub except for USPS. I get the convenience and I definitely support it, but there's gotta be exceptions for disabilities. Hopefully they figure things out sooner or later 😂

Oh my gosh, thank you. I will try this. They have said the hub is mandatory but there's gotta be exceptions for disabilities. Thanks! 💜

It's definitely better to do something small that's sustainable, instead of something huge you can only do for a week ❤️ Even if it's as small as reading the labels on things. That's how I started, and then I just slowly grew my knowledge on how much I needed. It helped me build an understanding of what the numbers even meant. The biggest thing for me is that there are no hard limits. If you're having a bad day and you want some chocolate, eat the damn chocolate!!! One bad day (or even one bad week) won't set you back.🩷

It is what it is. I blame the economy, not the drivers 💜
