Practicing prevention with your pets is key to keeping them happy, healthy, and by your side for as long as possible! Here’s why it’s so important:

Catch issues early: Regular check-ups and at-home care can help spot health problems before they become serious — saving your pet from pain and you from costly treatments.

Better quality of life: Preventative care like dental cleaning, parasite control, and proper nutrition means fewer illnesses and a more comfortable life for your furry friend.

Longer lifespan: Healthy habits — exercise, vaccinations, and routine vet visits — help extend your pet’s life by reducing the risk of preventable diseases.

Less stress for you and your pet: Preventing emergencies means fewer last-minute vet visits and less anxiety for both of you.

Small, consistent steps in your pet’s care can make a big difference in their overall health. Prevention really is the best medicine! 🌿

Did you know? By the age of 3, over 80% of dogs show signs of gum disease — and it’s more than just bad breath!

Gum disease can cause pain, tooth loss, and even affect vital organs if left untreated.
Watch out for these signs:

🔸 Bad breath (more than the usual "doggy breath")
🔸 Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
🔸 Yellow or brown tartar buildup
🔸 Loose or missing teeth
🔸 Drooling more than usual
🔸 Reluctance to eat or chew

What can you do?
✅ Brush your dog’s teeth regularly
✅ Provide dental chews or toys
✅ Schedule annual vet check-ups

A healthy mouth = a happy pup! ❤️

As we get older, we may face health conditions related to aging—and the same goes for our pets. The difference is, they can’t tell us when something’s wrong. That’s why it’s essential to watch for signs that may indicate a problem.

CPR for pets is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when a pet stops breathing or their heart stops beating. It involves performing chest compressions and rescue breaths to help restore circulation and oxygen flow until professional veterinary help can be reached. The process differs slightly from human CPR, as the animal's size and anatomy must be taken into account. Knowing how to perform CPR on your pet can make the difference between life and death in critical situations, so it's important for pet owners/pet pros to be trained and prepared.

We cover CPR techniques and the recovery position in detail, with practicals performed on CasPer.
