Hi, sorry, do your spent-grain dog treats include the hops? Apologies if you already know and have avoided this issue, but hops can be horrifically toxic to dogs. I've treated dogs in the hospital for malignant hyperthermia due to hops ingestion, and it's not pretty. Again, apologies if you already know and have mitigated this. If that's the case, please just treat this as a well-intentioned PSA for anyone else who might be reading this thread and enjoy your day.

The wild thing is that the shock value was toned down from the comics

I'm a fan of Alton Brown and Kenji López-Alt

This is fantastic story, like Giamatti's easily good enough that he could have just asked, but the idea was so big in his head that it just seemed like a total pipe dream from his perspective. I genuinely cannot wait to watch him.

Agreed on the private equity firms shit, I've worked at 2 such hospitals and they've been hell. They're most assuredly not passing those increased prices along to the employees in form of wage increases, I'll tell you that.

Also, that tooth extraction is a choice to use as a comparison. I've never had to be anesthetized for my extractions, but good luck doing that on an awake dog, so of course costs are going to be high. Anesthestizing you for your dentistry would cost way way more than it does now, and certainly more tgan your dog's.

There's no way it costs more than your doctor. You are either glossing over what your insurance is paying for you, or your doctor is seeing you in a back alley somewhere.

Also, you're not paying for the vet's time spent looking at bloodwork, which I actually do believe is 5 minutes. You're paying for the 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, (and if they're truly a specialist) several years of residency and being boarded, plus many hours of specialized continuing education per year.
