Why Following Your Dog’s Prescription Exactly May Not Be Enough | Dog Health — The Dog Who Asked for More: Understanding Life With Your Dog Beyond Dog Training and Behavior

She survived a $20,000 heart surgery most vets had never even heard of. Four days later, a pharmacy mistake took her anyway.

Krasi and her husband did everything right. They researched, they saved, they flew across the world for a surgery only available in three places. It worked. Daisy came home. Then a routine arrhythmia medication came back from the pharmacy with the wrong dose, ten times what it should have been, and there was no way to know just by looking at the bottle. By the time anyone realized, it was already too late.

You'll hear:

What actually happened in the four days between picking up the prescription and losing Daisy, and how a mix-up like this slips past people who are doing everything right
Why the guilt of not double-checking a pharmacist's work doesn't hold up once you understand how much trust that system asks of every pet parent, and every parent
What Daisy's Law is actually trying to change, and why the same mistake that took Daisy could legally happen again with almost no consequence

Press play if you've ever trusted a professional completely, and are ready to hear what happens when that trust gets broken.
