When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

Today is , a reminder that knowing how to save a life—especially our furry friends—can make all the difference. While having to administer CPR to your pet can be terrifying, being prepared can help you act calmly and confidently in an emergency.

Stay Calm:
1️⃣ Breathe: Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself. Focus on the feeling of the air filling your lungs.
2️⃣ Delegate: If there are bystanders, assign them tasks like finding the nearest emergency vet.
3️⃣ Focus: Keep your mind clear. Concentrate on the steps ahead and stay in the moment.

When to Start CPR:
🐾 Your pet isn’t responding
🐾 Your pet isn’t breathing
🐾 You can’t feel a heartbeat or pulse

How to Perform CPR:
Compressions:
❤️ Position your pet on their side.
❤️ Deliver 120 compressions per minute (2 per second).
❤️ For every 30 compressions, give 2 breaths.

Breaths:
❤️ Close your pet’s mouth and seal it with your fingers.
❤️ Cover their nose and give 2 breaths—enough to make their chest rise.
❤️ Check for a heartbeat after 2 minutes. If there’s no pulse, continue.

When to Stop CPR:
🐾 Your pet starts breathing and responding
🐾 You reach the vet clinic and they take over
🐾 You can’t continue physically
🐾 Your pet starts breathing but is still unconscious

Recovery Position:
Place your pet’s head to the side, slightly tilting down (unless there’s head trauma).

Compression Techniques:
🐶 Medium to Large Dogs: Compress one third of the chest depth.
🐱 Small Dogs/Cats: Use your thumb and fingers for compression, or compress directly over the heart.

Stay prepared and know that you can make a difference in your pet's life! ❤️

As hurricane Milton is approaching, it's crucial to remember that our pets rely on us for safety and care. Leaving them at home can put their lives at risk. Please make a plan that includes your pets—bring them with you or find a pet-friendly shelter. Together, we can keep our furry family members safe during these storms. They deserve our protection just as much as we do!

Here are some essential tips for keeping your pets safe during a hurricane:

1. **Create an Emergency Kit**: Include food, water, medications, leashes, carriers, and comfort items.

2. **Identify a Safe Space**: Choose a secure area in your home where your pets can stay during the storm, away from windows.

3. **Keep Pets Indoors**: Bring them inside well before the storm arrives to prevent them from getting lost or injured.

4. **Use Leashes and Carriers**: If you need to evacuate, keep pets on leashes or in carriers to ensure their safety.

5. **Update Identification**: Make sure your pets have ID tags with your current contact information. Microchipping is also recommended.

6. **Plan for Evacuation**: Research pet-friendly shelters or hotels in advance in case you need to leave your home.

7. **Stay Calm**: Your pets can sense your stress, so try to remain calm to help them feel secure.

8. **Monitor Weather Updates**: Stay informed about the storm’s progress and any emergency instructions from local authorities.

9. **Avoid Feeding Before the Storm**: A light meal is fine, but heavy feeding can lead to discomfort during stress.

10. **Post-Storm Check**: After the storm, be cautious of hazards like debris and downed power lines when taking your pets outside.

By following these tips, you can help ensure your pets remain safe and secure during a hurricane.

Please DM us if you need any help with your pets. Be safe family 🤍🐾
