My dog ate five pairs of underwear — and the vet bill cost me $13K

A woman says her rescue dog ate five pairs of Skims underwear — leaving her $13,000 out of pocket.

Sarah Oakley, 34, adopted Reta, a terrier mix, from dog shelter Harley’s Dream in January 2025.

Three months later she came home and saw the pup lying on top of a dirty clothes pile — and her underwear was missing.

Initially, Sarah hoped that Reta would throw it up, but after 24 hours Reta was still ill.

Reta had her intestines removed after an emergency visit to the vet, and Sarah received an eye-watering $13K vet bill.

Sarah, a marketing consultant, from Broomfield, Colorado, said: “My first thought was to reach out to Kim Kardashian, but no response yet.

“Maybe Kim will see it and come through with a solution like an edible underwear line, because, as Reta’s mom, I just can’t afford to buy Skims anymore unless they’re digestible.”

Naughty Reta has previously eaten undies — but usually throws them up.

Sarah said: “On Friday she was throwing up, but after 24 hours of vomiting, I knew we needed help.”

The following day, Sarah drove Reta to an emergency appointment at the vet where they scheduled surgery to remove the underwear.

Sarah said: “She is doing really good now and is at home resting.

“Reta is soaking up the attention and care.”

Sarah started a GoFundMe to help raise money for the surgery.

She has also reached out to Skims founder Kim Kardashian for help.
