Hey there, dog lovers! What's up? We were just discussing with our co-workers the ever-rising cost of living and its influence on us. Our rent has gone up by twenty percent in the past few years, and our income certainly has not. Not to mention, we have fur babies at home to take care of, relying on us for every aspect of their existence. Sighs. If only we could explain to them how expensive life is in a way that they would understand.

Unfortunately for us, our doggos have no idea how much things truly cost. They tend to devour the most random items that come with a hefty price tag. Today, we are covering a goofy thread in which dog parents confessed the most expensive things their dogs have accidentally (or purposefully!) eaten over the years. Some of the items were not all that expensive but came with a very pricey vet trip after the fact. These kiddos are burning holes in our wallets, but we still love them!

    My dog has recently just chewed up my £200 retainer and he also did it a couple of months prior. £400 has went down the drain now and I'm debating wether to buy a new one.

    Little_Conflict_6489 15 hr. ago You're lucky. My friend has a boerboel who's had over $14k in surgeries to remove something stuck in their gut. First time was 6 months old and a rope toy... Second time was 6 years old and a poop bag. She's eaten loads of socks and either pooped em or puked em, but that dog is more expensive than my car.

    RavishingRedRN - 17 hr. ago My boyfriend at the time, his 400$ BRAND NEW glasses. My dogs rarely rarely chew things. He took his glasses off to lay on the couch and watch tv. Next thing we know, we hear crunching. Look down and Chase is chomping on the ear pieces. It was salvageable but I felt awful.

    RoxyAnd Farley · 17 hr. ago Two pairs of eye glasses. He's a lab, was 6 months old at the time and I thought to myself "gee, he's getting older now and is probably mature enough to be unattended in the bedroom while I take a shower". That was the day I learned just how wrong I can be! He chewed up both my pairs of eye glasses and took a nap on the debris.

    Speakinmymind96 · 18 hr. ago My puppy chewed my prescription eyeglasses, twice. The optician said this is not uncommon, I guess because they have your scent on them.

    everyoneelsehasadog 18 hr. ago . We're really lucky - nothing. Once he chewed and tore a shopping list (I shut him in the living room while I mopped, he wanted to hang out so I'm assuming just getting energy out). But aside from that, he'll only chew on his stuff, and never to destruction. I think he's not a dog.
