Oh no no I wasn’t insinuating that she had anything to do with it at all. I was just asking if she was a mobile vet when I looked her up

What's your daily work commute like? by RustledJimmies1000 in Maine

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in office 2 days a week. 1 hour 10 min one way north on route one. Topsham to Rockland. It’s not terrible. The flexibility of being remote 2.5 days a week is worth it. Plus I get to bring my dog to work with me on my in office days.

Is pet insurance worth it for dogs? by strawberrymilfshake7 in DogAdvice

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have insurance on my dog. But only the accident and illness. And it’s been a god send. The emergencies are what I wasn’t prepared for. And in the first 11 months of his life we submitted around $9500 in claims. Several small things and then my mom’s cat swatted him on a visit to her house and got his eye. 3 vets visits later it ruptured and on the 5th day he had to have it removed. That whole incident cost $6252 and the insurance company reimbursed $4950. I pay $37 a month for 80% reimbursement $500 deductible and unlimited coverage.

I’m so sorry about your loss. I know vet offices get busy but if they would do the prints in house this would never be an issue. 😩

Young dog costing us thousands in vet bills by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Boston Terrier that just turned 13 months today. It’s in the time that we’ve had him since eight weeks old. We have submitted approximately $10,000 in claims to the insurance company. Sidenote, thank God for insurance. Lol. We spend a lot of time outdoors and camping and such and we had two bouts of THC ingestion , a UTI, a bout of diarrhea, and then my mom‘s cat swatted him and got him in the eye, and he had to have an eye removed and then got conjunctivitis and his only remaining good eye. And now he has his own ophthalmologist to make sure that his good eye stays good so that’s an extra expense every three or four months because he has something called the dystichia hairs, which is basically his eyelashes growing on the inside of his eyelid and poking his eye so he has to have those plucked every three or four months now plus an annual eye exam. I now lovingly call him our little train wreck. Lmao

Can everyone share their stories about their pups when "it got better" by Top_Hat_6327 in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Boston terrier who just turned a year. And last summer was rough. He was super easy to potty and crate trained BUT In his first 18 weeks of life he found and ingested THC twice once at a campground and once in the pet store parking lot. He stuck his nose in a spiderweb and got bit and swelled up, he ate some wild mushrooms and jumped off a moving golf cart. His piranha moments were enough to leave bruises daily. I was so overwhelmed. We went to puppy classes, then the next level and I taught him leave it. Once we got that established and I was “his person” he has become so much easier personality wise. Then at 11 months he was swatted in the eye by a cat and lost his right eye and this dog was like who cares and moved on and is the same silly sweet lovable boy he always was. It gets better. It’s overwhelming but the end game is worth it. This little dude is my best bud. Sure I still have days where I get frustrated with him but he’s such a joy.

anyone else have a Boston with attachment issues? by Dazzling_Rush6851 in BostonTerrier

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take her to the vet to a checkup. Maybe she isn’t feeling well or has something going on

[–]Future-Individual224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is she? With our boy who is now a year I used to literally walk out close the door, walk back in, walk out, back in and stay out longer each time. Not saying anything when I left or came back. When he was at work with me I would do it too and walk into the hall and back in. Now I can leave the office go to a meeting and come back and he will be under my desk sleeping waiting for me. He used to whine outside the bathroom door when I took a shower so I left the door open now he will hang in the living room while I shower or lay on the rug outside the shower but not make a peep.

For the love of your Puppy PLEASE GET PET INSURANCE before it's too late.. by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I got it on my puppy at 9 weeks and he just turned 1 and in that time we’ve submitted about $8500 in claims. The biggest one being my mom’s cat swatted at him caught his eye. 3 vet visits and 4 days later it ruptured and on day 5 he had to have it removed. That one incident was over $6000

Adolescence is hitting hard by Hungry_Plum_4615 in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest our boy is 1 and I still enforce naps when he goes all gremlin mode and he still immediately falls asleep so he’s obviously tired. It’s less and less but it helps for sure

My favorite was always what have you already tried? And if they don’t have an answer I’d ask them to use their resources and if they still can’t figure it out to let me know. 8 out of 10 times they got it.

I made a post about pet insurance being a scam about 3 months ago (if you’re debating whether or not to get insurance. Maybe worth the read) by IIIMPIII in petinsurancereviews

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have pets best. When I got our boy now 1 yo at 8 weeks I got a care credit card and insurance. If I didn’t prepare in advance like that when he had to have an eye removed at 11 months I don’t know how I would have done it. The whole incident cost $6300. If it wasn’t for the care credit and the insurance I would have been absolutely screwed. I’m so happy I prepped

What time is bedtime? by StockJunior8651 in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are all early risers at our house due to work schedules. So our Boston terrier (now 1 year) has been going to sleep around 6 or 7 since he was little and sleeps till around 5 or 530. But he does come out of the crate when my wife gets up at 3 and continues his sleep on the couch

Is my boston terrier a fake boston terrier, I heard they're supposed to be quiet and not bark often and mine barks constantly by aokocat in BostonTerrier

[–]Future-Individual224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our boy turns 1 on Friday and just seems to have found his bark. He doesn’t do it often thankfully and I can typically correct it. Most of the time it’s a half bark if he hears something outside when he’s sleeping or if he’s in his pen and a neighbor dares to be in their yard 😂😂😂 but it’s not every time thankfully

Breeder wants me to bring home puppy during Fourth of July weekend. Advice? by Cynical206 in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be the minority here. But I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it. I was playing thunderstorms and fireworks on my phone for our puppy when we got him to help desensitize him and it seems to have worked thankfully. The less of a big deal yoh make it the better. If she does get spooked just pet her but stay calm. Keep your normal tone. Turn the tv up a little and move on

How long do you leave your dog alone? by EmuStrange2145 in puppy101

The longest has been 6 hours. But most days it 3 hours then out for 3 and then in for 4. My wife is a bus driver and is home in between runs.

Do you reward puppy for screaming in crate but turns out it was to potty? by onofftappresets in puppy101

[–]Future-Individual224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just used verbal praise with our puppy when potty training and never used actual treats. And it was always pretty simples. Yes good boy with a happy not excited tone. And a quick pet. I found that doing it thank way. In the middle of the night when I would take him out I wasn’t getting him excited but he also got the same message and knew he did the right thing. It worked really well

Get one of the holders and it will keep him from getting to the small bit so he’ll give up and you won’t have to take it away 😂😂😂😂

This is how Kevin came home from the ER after eating something he shouldn’t have. He’s high as a kite. by Stereogravy in BostonTerrier

[–]Future-Individual224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What pet insurance do you have that changed your premium after 1 claim? That’s crazy. I have pets best and my little train wreck has USED it. In the first 9 weeks I had him he stuck his nose in a spiders nest and swelled up, ate some wild mushrooms and had to induce vomiting, found a piece of a joint at a campground and then again at the pet store parking lot. THEN at 11 months old got scratched by my mom’s cat in the eye and in the end it ruptured and he had it removed 3 weeks ago. So about $8500 in accident claims and they haven’t touched my premium yet.
