- 0:12Speaker 3: Our disc engineer on the show, Gavin you may you
- 0:17Speaker 3: may know him as Vin d.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Now there is the guy who chuckles in the background
- 0:21Speaker 1: often one of those like he did. Now when you
- 0:25Speaker 1: called him an engineer.
- 0:26Speaker 2: M wow, No he did.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I mean he was one chackling, not me.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Okay, Well, that's not the topic of discussion at the moment.
- 0:39Speaker 1: There we are.
- 0:40Speaker 3: The topic at this moment is the fact that he
- 0:43Speaker 3: he was so kind about three weeks ago, he adopted
- 0:47Speaker 3: two dogs.
- 0:48Speaker 1: He adopted to puppies.
- 0:50Speaker 2: They are adorable.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Look, I hate to say this, but there is one
- 0:54Speaker 3: that's way more adorable than the other one. But the
- 0:56Speaker 3: other one does rank in the adorable stakes. But there's
- 0:59Speaker 3: one that so adorable even I want.
- 1:01Speaker 2: To adopt it from him.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Okay, and they've got other pets, but uh cat, it
- 1:06Speaker 1: was not not anymore. Sorry, but you do your research. Well,
- 1:11Speaker 1: I know that they've had pets in the past, right,
- 1:13Speaker 1: so they oking What I'm trying to say, what I'm
- 1:17Speaker 1: trying to say before you interrupted me, is that they
- 1:22Speaker 1: are used to keeping animals.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Okay, sound adopted two dogs about three weeks ago, Hey,
- 1:29Speaker 3: three weeks ago, four weeks Max.
- 1:32Speaker 2: What are their names?
- 1:34Speaker 1: Oi and Lily?
- 1:35Speaker 2: Which Lily is the cute one name?
- 1:36Speaker 1: Yes?
- 1:37Speaker 2: Did you hear that? Yes? Yes, is adorable.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Well one month in these adorable dogs ate a poisonous
- 1:45Speaker 3: plant in his garden.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Fine poisonous and well, yes, here's the thing.
- 1:50Speaker 3: You never know which plants are bad for your dogs
- 1:53Speaker 3: until this thing happens. So now, sadly, look, but they're fine,
- 1:59Speaker 3: said no, no, guys stay fine, and they're gonna be okay. Well,
- 2:04Speaker 3: they're gonna be okay. I don't know if Win is
- 2:06Speaker 3: gonna be okay because Vin's vet bull is currently sitting
- 2:11Speaker 3: at fourteen thousand rand.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the crazy thing about pets that you
- 2:15Speaker 1: will you can rack up a vet bull very very fast, cheapest.
- 2:19Speaker 3: I honestly only thought it's when it comes to horses,
- 2:22Speaker 3: because people with horses are always having to out exhorbitant amounts.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Twenty thousand RAN for this next month is forty thousand
- 2:29Speaker 3: RAN for an injection, and then it's sixty thousand people
- 2:31Speaker 3: with horses.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I only thought it was horses and dogs also in it.
- 2:34Speaker 1: No, no, no, any pet, any pet will can rack up
- 2:38Speaker 1: a serious bill.
- 2:39Speaker 4: I mean, we know human balls are expensive. I think
- 2:42Speaker 4: I think vet bulls are like double that.
- 2:45Speaker 5: What.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a huge industry.
- 2:47Speaker 6: That's why there's even medical aid now, pets pets insurance.
- 2:52Speaker 2: It's very good.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Yes, it's a Dutch.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Shirt that that's always yeah, Oh my.
- 2:57Speaker 1: God, there's a few of them that offer it. It's
- 2:59Speaker 1: very important to have that, definitely a way. Yeah, Evan
- 3:02Speaker 1: had dogs for what not even four weeks and then
- 3:05Speaker 1: he's already racked up for fourteen thousand rand.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Bull four days.
- 3:08Speaker 4: At this rate, it's going to be playing gigs out
- 3:10Speaker 4: of his ears from now until Christmas.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Please book him for the Christmas.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I was about to say this is this is the
- 3:15Speaker 3: piece from us to you. Please, anything you need done
- 3:18Speaker 3: music wise, Vin will do it.
- 3:20Speaker 2: He's got these dogs to keep alive.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Now, I want to know on on one one eight
- 3:24Speaker 3: eight thirty eight nine four seven, what is the most
- 3:27Speaker 3: you've spent keeping your pets alive?
- 3:29Speaker 1: Yeah, you've had to take them to the bed for
- 3:31Speaker 1: whatever reason, and it just the bill just blew your mind.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And the reason look at the lines.
- 3:37Speaker 3: The reasons are always so like, no, they ate the
- 3:40Speaker 3: bark of a tree. And that bark of a tree
- 3:41Speaker 3: actually causes the hydration. So now the dog is on
- 3:44Speaker 3: a trip for a month.
- 3:45Speaker 6: You're like, what I was shocked to hear because you
- 3:47Speaker 6: know there are certain conditions you think I strictly for humans.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Yeah, but dogs also have similar ailment.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yes, like a grass allergy.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yes, my dog's allergic to everything everything. So she gets
- 4:02Speaker 4: an injection once a month. That's about nine hundred two
- 4:05Speaker 4: thousand random month.
- 4:07Speaker 2: But shame.
- 4:08Speaker 4: It's important for her to have it because otherwise than
- 4:10Speaker 4: she's just itchy all the time. Imagine you were itchy
- 4:12Speaker 4: all the time.
- 4:12Speaker 2: It's Edie, Nos, Pepper, it is. It is allergic to nothing.
- 4:16Speaker 7: Have you seen the size of them?
- 4:18Speaker 3: In fact, Eddie might just take the Pepper's injections.
- 4:22Speaker 2: No, but sheme let's not talk about him on the radio.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Boy, I love you?
- 4:27Speaker 2: Oh one eight thirty eight nine four seven.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Is it a nine hundred rands a month injection to
- 4:32Speaker 3: keep them away from the allergies?
- 4:33Speaker 1: You're right? What have you had to splurge out for
- 4:36Speaker 1: your pet?
- 4:36Speaker 3: It's your pets, and that is your favorite person.
- 4:38Speaker 2: In the world. Okay, you like your pit over most humans. Good?
- 4:43Speaker 3: Zero eighty four double zero double zero nine four seven.
- 4:46Speaker 3: This is the only recognition you're going to get for
- 4:48Speaker 3: this sacrifice that you're making.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Just by the way, yeah cool, no one else kids.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I mean, you've walked into the office moaning about it,
- 4:54Speaker 1: and you could do that once. Relive it really over.
- 4:57Speaker 3: Here this next hour, it's yours.
- 5:01Speaker 7: I bird, at a few months old, swallowed a tiny
- 5:03Speaker 7: piece of metal, got metal toxicity, and the big bill
- 5:07Speaker 7: ended up costing almost.
- 5:10Speaker 8: Was very old, and I think I was expecting that
- 5:12Speaker 8: they were going to say it's time to put him down,
- 5:15Speaker 8: but they still wanted to do some tests overnight. Those
- 5:19Speaker 8: tests they cost five thousand round and in the next
- 5:22Speaker 8: day they telled us that no, they need to be
- 5:24Speaker 8: put down anyway.
- 5:26Speaker 7: I had a bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Boston Teria
- 5:29Speaker 7: was about a year.
- 5:30Speaker 2: And a half.
- 5:31Speaker 7: Boys shot out his eye three hundred and fifty thousand
- 5:33Speaker 7: round later the four is iclinic. I got taken out,
- 5:36Speaker 7: couldn't see anymore. That kind of closed it up. The
- 5:40Speaker 7: bulldog kept on eating rocks. No one knows why kept
- 5:44Speaker 7: on eating rocks, and we get stuck in her in
- 5:45Speaker 7: test times. She had more plastic surgery than I had.
- 5:49Speaker 6: Okay, but now I want to side by side of
- 5:51Speaker 6: her in the bulldog. Another little comparing surgery.
- 5:55Speaker 3: What three hundred and fifty thousand rand pad insurance cover.
- 5:59Speaker 1: That I'm a pair to this stage?
- 6:01Speaker 2: Give me this money. I'm sure there's a threshold.
- 6:04Speaker 1: They must surely be. I went look, but it can be.
- 6:07Speaker 1: That can happen depending on what the surgery is. Your
- 6:10Speaker 1: puppy needs, Michelle, you and.
- 6:12Speaker 9: Blocksburg Wolf, Yes, definitely.
- 6:17Speaker 3: What so.
- 6:20Speaker 9: Have our Scottish terriers? A ten year old Bordermax took
- 6:24Speaker 9: him for what seemingly would have been a routine dental
- 6:28Speaker 9: have his teeth cleaned as phenrmal. That is like, no,
- 6:31Speaker 9: it's getting a bit old. Maybe we should do some
- 6:34Speaker 9: blood to check everything's okay. Bloods come back. That is
- 6:38Speaker 9: like not too happy, Let's do some tests. We're like, sure,
- 6:41Speaker 9: do some taste and more taste than another ten thousand
- 6:45Speaker 9: rand tests and they're like, no, maybe we need to
- 6:48Speaker 9: refer you to specialist veterinarian specialist surgeon, internal medicine doctor
- 6:54Speaker 9: for dogs, which is apparently a thing. And next thing
- 6:59Speaker 9: you know, it's another surgery and he needs his gold
- 7:03Speaker 9: bladder removed. And that's about twenty five thirty five thousand
- 7:06Speaker 9: rand needs to be admitted into ICU.
- 7:10Speaker 1: And our whole story and how's Max now?
- 7:14Speaker 9: She's actually doing really really well, pull through like an absolute.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Champ, you see.
- 7:20Speaker 3: And how much and how much was all of Max's balls?
- 7:24Speaker 9: So everything that p today it's pro about forty forty
- 7:27Speaker 9: five thousand.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Okay, but what Matt showing any problems? Because this is
- 7:32Speaker 3: my christ. I feel like videosto can take advantage because
- 7:35Speaker 3: now your dog can say, Mom, Mom, let's go. No,
- 7:39Speaker 3: I'll let you know when I'm not fine.
- 7:41Speaker 9: Zero zero but zero science. He was super child going
- 7:45Speaker 9: for his dental next minute. No dental is getting surgery instead.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean it's preventative medicine. That's why Max
- 7:52Speaker 1: is doing so well.
- 7:53Speaker 9: Now would it spend everything over again?
- 7:57Speaker 1: You see, you can't put a price on love and
- 8:00Speaker 1: our Max, because this is what.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Caused all of this. I just need to know.
- 8:05Speaker 9: This put on the back burners and I had to
- 8:07Speaker 9: wait for for good teeth at least for a while.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Yeah, play off those bulls.
- 8:11Speaker 3: And just just before we let you go, Michelle, his
- 8:13Speaker 3: name is Max. Oh that's not something Frankie made up,
- 8:17Speaker 3: she said.
- 8:17Speaker 1: She said his name is Max. Okay, Scottish Cherrier.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Right, Oh, okay cool.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Because I just I just heard us calling him Max
- 8:23Speaker 3: out of knowing it, and I went with it.
- 8:25Speaker 9: Okay, he's definitely Max.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Love to Max, Love to Max.
- 8:29Speaker 9: Michelle, Thank you guys, have a great day.
- 8:31Speaker 8: Bye.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But I mean this we no, I mean I picked
- 8:36Speaker 1: up something. I think that's a very good doctor that
- 8:38Speaker 1: picks up just preventative medicine. Guys, this is why you
- 8:41Speaker 1: got to get your screenings done.

- 9:37Speaker 4: I mean they live forever and they're so strong, but.

- 10:01Speaker 1: asking for a friend?
- 10:03Speaker 2: We did?
- 10:04Speaker 10: They didn't cover those specialty offs though.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I was going to say that the kid to a
- 10:08Speaker 1: point that I said, we can't anymore on his monthly medicine.
- 10:12Speaker 10: I also like lesson guys. He's fourteen. It's time to

- 10:23Speaker 3: Oh dear, no, no, my ideas are usually good. Oh no,
- 10:26Speaker 3: this dog's.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Name is Rex. Why don't we make him the face off?
- 10:32Speaker 1: Gregg?
- 10:36Speaker 2: You won't let you down.
- 10:39Speaker 3: That way, you can pay for his medical boat.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Who's with me? Who is with me?
- 10:44Speaker 3: Get it.
- 10:45Speaker 10: We'll get it going.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Especially he's coming with me, thank you.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I don't think Grega is.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Regson is definitely with me. Yes, no, No.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Jog is a Jack Russell. He is allergic to grass,
- 11:03Speaker 3: so every season I have to get him an injection.
- 11:06Speaker 2: That's about three thousand and eight.
- 11:09Speaker 11: I have an eighteen year old cat who is diabetic,
- 11:13Speaker 11: who gets his interlum injection every single morning, and then
- 11:17Speaker 11: due to inflammation and pain in his guns, he gets
- 11:20Speaker 11: a once a month injection for long lasting pain, and
- 11:24Speaker 11: that's one thousand and five a month.
- 11:26Speaker 12: Our border collie has a condition called exocrime pancreatic insufficiency,
- 11:32Speaker 12: which means she doesn't make digestive enzymes, so we have
- 11:37Speaker 12: to supplement her food with digestive enzymes.
- 11:41Speaker 2: That costs how much?
- 11:43Speaker 1: Yeah, that's this is a serious cost.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You leave us hanging, lady.
- 11:47Speaker 3: We need to know exactly how much you're dropping every
- 11:49Speaker 3: month for your dog can go to the party, okay, right?
- 11:52Speaker 9: Oh?
- 11:53Speaker 3: One one eight thirty eight, nine four seven? How much
- 11:55Speaker 3: have you spent to keep your pet alive? Avene you
- 11:58Speaker 3: in Bedford View talk to us.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Hi and La, how are you av good? Thanks to
- 12:04Speaker 5: your talk to us? So we spent. Well, We've had
- 12:09Speaker 5: many admissions with our dog, but I think the biggest
- 12:13Speaker 5: and scariest one was when he was poisoned with organ
- 12:19Speaker 5: of our trace poisoning, which has the street name. After
- 12:22Speaker 5: his death, they tried to poison my in law's big
- 12:26Speaker 5: dog and my little one and a half year old
- 12:30Speaker 5: eagle sniffed it out and ate it. The vet told
- 12:37Speaker 5: us that it will cost a minimum of ten thousand,
- 12:40Speaker 5: and we told him to spend whatever. It ended up
- 12:45Speaker 5: costing us nineteen thousand for the first admission and then
- 12:51Speaker 5: additional blood tests a week later for another two and
- 12:54Speaker 5: a half thousand.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Sure, and.
- 12:57Speaker 5: He is by honestly some Marria go. I've seen organo
- 13:02Speaker 5: pasphace poisoning and kids before I managed it, and it's
- 13:06Speaker 5: really deadly. So the fact that he survived that I
- 13:09Speaker 5: cannot explain.
- 13:13Speaker 1: But who was so people from the outside trying to
- 13:16Speaker 1: poison him?
- 13:17Speaker 5: Yes, so I think they were trying to break into
- 13:19Speaker 5: my in law's house and they have a big german shepherd,
- 13:22Speaker 5: but he wasn't interested.
- 13:23Speaker 10: In the stuff.
- 13:26Speaker 1: The big will the biggle will smell and eat everything.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Take him everywhere, No, no, no, that biggle will he
- 13:32Speaker 1: will find everything.
- 13:33Speaker 2: I'm so glad the dog is fine.
- 13:35Speaker 3: Now you say slowly, surely, but definitely a rotary recovery
- 13:38Speaker 3: is say, yeah, no.
- 13:40Speaker 5: He's great. He got certain by another dog this year
- 13:44Speaker 5: and was admitted for Easter weekend. So that was another
- 13:46Speaker 5: twelve thousand because it got infected and started and dreaming agent.
- 13:51Speaker 2: But then can you claim from the other dogs owners then?
- 13:56Speaker 5: So yeah, it was a complicated situation and they didn't
- 13:59Speaker 5: want to. It was at his sakend. They didn't want
- 14:01Speaker 5: to just close. Who but him, so we couldn't claim. No,
- 14:06Speaker 5: But yeah, Unfortunately his pitch insurance covered that one, but
- 14:11Speaker 5: the first one they had some technicality and they only
- 14:14Speaker 5: covered six thousand. Nineteen thousand.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Oh my, that's so much money. Well, I'm glad he's okay.
- 14:19Speaker 5: I would spend it again in a heartbeat.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Yes, I was going to say, totally worth it. We're
- 14:24Speaker 3: going to gluphen dal Ernest, good morning, Good morning, tem
