Fritz has been to the vet more times than any other dog we've had and is thereby the most expensive dog either of us have ever had. We did buy him as a puppy so we had the normal puppy vet expenses with shots and de-wormings and check-ups, but Fritz has also had

-1 emergency vet visit for a bad allergic reaction to something (still don't know what) that caused massive quilty, body-covering hives and severe face swelling...this was pretty funny looking (see photo #18).

-a visit for chewing up and snorting styrofoam crumbles which got lodged in his sinuses.

-then there was the time he chased a cat from a cold start and ripped up his toe nails so bad I couldn't get them to stop bleeding.

-and finally, he went because he got a cold that turned into bronchitis, which could have turned into pneumonia. For that one he had to have x-rays. Did you know dogs could get pneumonia? Did you know dogs could get bronchitis? They can. Did you further know that people buy insurance for their pets just for situations like this one? At any rate, to keep pneumonia away we had to, yes HAD TO, buy him a sweater (FRITZ-TV01). It's a hoody sweater...which he wears anytime it gets lower than 40 degrees here in So Cal. Look...I'm not one of those dog people who buys clothes for their pet...I just don't want to see a vet bill that size ever again.
