Canine First Aid & CPR Workshop – Be Your Dog’s First Responder! 🐾

Do you own or work at a dog-related business—like a grooming salon, dog walking company, boarding facility, doggy daycare, training center, or even a pet-friendly venue? We'd love to bring our hands-on, certified Canine First Aid & CPR Workshop to your location!

🩺 Most dog owners and pet pros don’t feel confident in an emergency—less than 5% know how to properly perform canine CPR, recognize early signs of bloat, or help a choking dog using the abdominal thrust or external extraction technique. Let’s change that.

✅ CPR using the evidence-based RECOVER method
✅ Choking response techniques
✅ Digestive emergencies, poisoning, & injury care

✅ Dog-safe nutrition tips and toxic plant awareness
✅ And more...

Update on Canine First Aid Workshop

Unfortunately, we won't be able to hold the upcoming canine first aid workshop, despite the great interest. Since no one registered, we had to cancel this session.

If you're interested in participating in a future class, please let us know! We'd love to organize another session if there's enough demand.

Thank you for your understanding, and stay tuned for updates!

Let’s talk about yearly vaccines — because not enough people are questioning them.

We titre test. Every year. Because we want data, not assumptions. And what we’ve found? Most dogs still have strong immunity years after their last vaccine. So why are we still jabbing them annually? Habit? Policy? Profit?

The truth is, over-vaccination is still happening — not because it’s backed by science, but because it’s easier than updating protocols. And too many clinics are afraid to challenge the status quo. That’s not healthcare, that’s lazy medicine.

Titre testing isn’t “alternative” or fringe. It’s evidence-based. It protects immunity and avoids unnecessary immune stress. But try bringing it up in the wrong vet clinic and watch the conversation get awkward real quick.

It’s time more vets started explaining the actual options — not just printing reminders for outdated vaccine schedules.

You don’t need to be anti-vax to be pro-informed choice.

Agree? Disagree? Drop your thoughts. This one needs a proper discussion.
