Jennifer Navratil's golden retriever, Arlo, began exhibiting unusual symptoms including freezing in place and leg weakness.

Tests at the vet revealed Arlo had ingested a significant amount of marijuana, costing her owners $650. Navratil, from Austin, Texas, was surprised as they do not keep THC products at home. They realized Arlo likely consumed discarded marijuana near a concert venue her husband walks past regularly.
Fortunately, Arlo recovered quickly, returning to her energetic self by the following morning. Navratil shared the experience on TikTok, where it went viral, resonating with many other dog owners and raising awareness about the risks dogs face from ingesting substances.
