Tucker looks so good in his custom muzzle! Muzzles can be a wonderful training tool, but all muzzles are not created equal. A good muzzle should allow your dog to fully pant without restriction and drink water while wearing the muzzle. I prefer to work with clear vinyl muzzles like this, so I can clearly observe the dog's facial expression and mouth position during use. The personalization and added flare shown here are just a fun bonus! This custom muzzle was made by

📢📢📢Okay Heel & Hound Tribe, my assistant Sydney needs our help. Her dog Kyla spent the night in the emergency room this weekend and has been diagnosed with BOTH Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) and Degenerative Cranial Crucial Ligament Disease. Her dog needs a very expensive surgery ASAP. Please take a moment to check out this fundraiser that I have started for her. She cares for your furbabies as if they were her own. Let's show her some love during this difficult time. 🙏

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! ❤️

Say hello to Matilda! 👋

"Matti" was adopted from St. Lucia and her DNA results are in! Can you guess what breed this sweet girl is?

While most people might assume she is a mixed breed of some sort, Matti is actually 100% American Village Dog. These dogs are often called "Potcakes" and are almost completely descended from European dogs that were imported during the Colonial Era. 😱

Matti is settling in well with her new family and is eagerly participating in her private training! Can't wait to watch this girl reach her full potential!
