    I (27M) have a rescue dog with a very sensitive stomach. Vet's orders: no human food at all. I make this clear to everyone who visits because he can get really sick.

    This weekend my sister (23F) and her boyfriend came over for dinner. Despite my repeated reminders, I caught her slipping him a piece of steak under the table. I said,

    "Hey, please don't. He I can't have that." She giggled and said, "One little bite won't hurt him!"
  • 07
    I was firm: "Seriously. Stop." Not five minutes later, I caught her doing it again. I lost my temper a bit and said, "You need to leave. Now."

    She got upset, said I was overreacting and humiliating her in front of her boyfriend. My parents called me later saying I should've just ignored it and "he's just a dog."

    But sure enough... the next day my dog had diarrhea and had to go to the vet. Was I too harsh?

    Your sister needs a reality check. Please tell her that from a person who has been in ER veterinary medicine for 11 years now and seen some crazy stuff that when an owner
  • 13
    says "the vet said not to do that" and you *do the thing* then you should absolutely be able to be sued for the few grand it will take to fix it.
  • 14
    You are not overreacting. You need to never allow her near your dog again. Or any of your things. She doesn't respect you.

    Anytime anyone looks at one of your animals or possessions and says "its JUST a blank" that person is a narcissist and needs to get a high five with something large and painful...in the face. 988

    No-Hovercraft-455 • Also animals that are someone's pet aren't "just" something. They are alive and the bond we have with them makes their pain ours because that's how humans just work - when something we
  • 18
    love has emotions we mirror them, so hurting a beloved pet is hurting the owner. We even have cells in our brains spesifically for that purpose so it's not like the pet owner is just choosing to feel their pets emotions simply to be
  • 19
    inconvenient, that's our literal brain function and that's why you leave all living beings in someone else's home alone and don't bu y them no matter what you think about their species. People are even kind to my mouse because they know the mouses experience = my experience for large part. 228

    South-Emergency434 ⚫ As a vet technician I saw people that fed their dogs all kinds of crazy sh. The best case scenario is them being overweight. Pancreatitis is extremely painful and
  • 22
    dangerous. Steak is probably the worst thing you could feed ur dog. Period. You addressed her disrespect respectfully, and she ignored it. You had every right to humiliate and remove her from your home. She should be embarrassed.

    Also, my husband once threw someone out of my house for saying "he's just a cat" in response to someone letting my cat out 2 weeks after we moved to a new place and we were scrambling to find him.

    You gotta do what you gotta do and if that means ur dog is now ur only family, well then at least you know u are loved. 207

    Jazzlike_Toe1126 ⚫ Totally agree. If someone can't respect your boundaries when it comes to your pets, they don't deserve a place in your home. Pets are family, period. 183

    Mysterious_Ad_6571 • Absolutely, protecting your pet comes first, especially with health risks like that. Sometimes tough boundaries are necessary, and it sounds like you handled it with care. Your dog's love is real and priceless. 114 114

    Cal_R21. Absolutely, when people dismiss your pet's well- being like that, they're showing a total lack of respect. You did the right thing by standing your ground. 108

    ZookeepergameOld8988 ⚫ He's just a dog?! So it's perfectly ok to give him things that will make him very sick and be in pain? He doesn't know any better than to eat those things but your fully grown adult sister does.
  • 31
    She disrespected you by not listening to the rule about your dog. Not once but twice. She would need to pay the vet bill you got because of her actions before I'd allow her into my home again.
  • 32
    And you didn't embarrass her. She embarrassed herself by acting like a child. 120

    Maybe368 ⚫ NOR at all. She is deliberately endangering your dog and causing you a financial burden. How would she feel if you did something similar to her and ignored a direct and emphatic request?

    Shame you can't dump family. Good for you standing up for you and your dog. Hope he doesn't suffer for long. 49

    Greedy_Night_4236 • Not overreacting. It was blatant disrespect. Send her the vet bill and maybe a letter stating the vets orders and how much it's going to cost. Maybe she'll get it through her thiccccccckkkkkkk skull. 134 ...
