My Friend Was Dog Sitting And Fed My Dog McDonald’s And Pizza Instead Of The Expensive Dog Food I Give Him
Amber paid her friend $200 for dog sitting. She always feeds her dog expensive dog food, but her friend fed the dog people food, like pizza and McDonald’s. Now her dog is knocking over plates and begging for people food. Amber is annyoed that her friend went against her wishes and trained her dog in bad new habits. So she asked for her money back from her friend.
Here’s Amber’s Call About Her Friend And Her Dog Sitting Issues
Jonathan: Today for panic button. We have Amber. Hey, Amber.
Amber: Hey, guys, how we doing?
Jonathan: Good. So you have a problem with a friend, a dog and money. Just a great combination for a panic button topic. What’s going on?
Amber: Yeah. So I went out of town for a few days. I paid a friend like 50 bucks to watch my dog. I love my dog. I’m very, very specific about what I feed him. He’s on a very special diet.
Danielle: MHM.
Amber: I spend a lot of money on food. I love my friend and she usually does a great job dog sitting. However, this time I came back and my dog was acting really weird. He was begging for food, just really acting not himself. He was begging for food off of my plate when I made dinner and being lethargic.
Danielle: Oh, boy, oh boy.
Amber: So I texted my friend and I was like, hey, did anything happen when I was gone? And she said, not really. He had a good appetite. He was a great boy. And I was like, were you feeding him the food that I left you? And she was like, yeah. And a couple of times I stuck him some McDonald’s or we got seamless one night. And I had pizza and he had a bite of pizza.
Jonathan: Oh boy, yeah.
Amber: And I said, OK, well, I left all this fancy food and he’s so well behaved. So why did we do that?
Jonathan: Yeah. Well.
Amber: So, you know, I don’t know if the dog is just feeling a little belly ache now eating like a person for a few days or if my dog just thinks that’s what we’re going to be eating.
Jonathan: It doesn’t. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to turn them in into that. I once let my dog, who is 8 years old now., so this was seven years ago. I left a plate out and he started licking it and instead of stopping him right away, I was like, oh, that’s adorable. Now we can’t have a plate out around him without him freaking out.
Danielle: No.
Amber: Mm-hmm.
Danielle: Yep, that’s my plate.
Jonathan: Whining and whining to clean it. So you’re mad at your friend for feeding your dog human food.
Amber: Yeah. I just feel like that’s a trust thing. I really expected her to follow the directions. I think that’s a normal thing to expect. So I’m pretty annoyed. I wanna know if you guys think this is weird. But I want her to pay me back for what I paid for the dog to get watched. I want my 200 bucks back.
Jonathan: $200 for dog sitting. It was at her house or your house.
Amber: She stayed at my house.
Jonathan: She stay at your house, hmm. Yeah. That makes things interesting. That’s Amber’s problem. She left her dog with her friend while she went on vacation. She left a bunch of nice food for the dog, but that wasn’t good enough. And her friend started feeding the dog McDonald’s and pizza.
Danielle: She’s seen it. Oh boy.
Jonathan: So now the dog is trying to eat her food, knocking plates on the floor, things like that. Trying to get human food and Amber’s like I gave you $200.00 for dog sitting. I want my money back. Is that OK? Should she get her money back? Amber thank you so much.
Danielle: Thank you.
Amber: Thank you.
