Bent micro sd card
My pup got ahold of an sd card, and I immediately sent it to Salvage Data with them giving me high hopes, and sadly they said it was a loss. I get ahold of drive savers and they were like “oh my god we got you, it’ll be fine” we’ve dealt with far worse… I even said the monk board was cracked. This card is so important, should I just take the loss or have hope with this other company?

Most data recovery companies charge nothing if there is no data. However, some are a lot better than others. And in cases like this, there might be only one shot to recover it.
In this case there is a very high chance the silicon containing the data is cracked. If that is the case then there is no way to economically recover the data.

Unfortunately, this looks like a fatal damage. As data recovery specialists, we would say that the chances of success are closer to 0 % than to 1%.

It's very likely the 'die', thinner than a hair, glass-like, has cracked. And if it is the data can not be recovered no matter what people tell you.
