# Bodhi's Story

![This cheerful looking golden colored lab at the back seat of his parents car, ended up at the vet after his insatiable appetite led him eating a lot of other foreign body ingestion every now and then.](//images.ctfassets.net/cy68knbg9g5b/5Iv4jCPkeHpZWFrG33w14f/0d76a44a0eff7faf0117acf64ecddb78/bodhi-labrador-retriever_37315459-bef4-4673-84fc-0a1e0a3441c2.webp?)
This pup sure did pick the wrong snacks!

### Vet Bill: $1,190

### Background

Jeremy brought his Labrador Retriever, Bodhi, home when he was just 7 weeks old. He immediately took out a policy with Embrace Pet Insurance after a bad experience with another insurance provider. Jeremy had lost his previous Labrador to a vary rare illness, and the medical bills totaled over $12,000, but he was only reimbursed about $3,000.

Jeremy soon discovered that Bodhi has an insatiable appetite and not just for food. In his first 8 months, Bodhi ate an electrical cord and possibly suffered an electric shock. He was taken to Gold Coast Animal Hospital in [Chicago](https://www.embracepetinsurance.com/state/pet-insurance-illinois-il) and an X-ray showed no real harm done. Less than a month later, Bodhi also ate one of Jeremy's daughter's toys. Jeremy immediately took him to Chicago Veterinary Emergency Specialists where he underwent a barium study. Luckily, there was no obvious obstruction so Bodhi did not require surgery.
