A Loyal Companion

A Loyal Companion Mobility is LIFE! Movement—supported or not—allows a dog to participate in his world independently.

Every year, I talk to hundreds of dog owners who come to A Loyal Companion Mobility and Swim Center looking for help. Most of my clients have asked this same question in one form or another: “How can I help my dog continue to enjoy his life doing the things he loves without pain or discomfort for as long as his body and mind will allow?” I built A Loyal Companion Online Canine Mobility Resource Ce

nter to help you answer that question. My goal is to provide the information and support you need to give your dog the best life possible.

Labor Day celebrates the work we do, and for dog lovers, that work is often filled with joy.

From morning strolls to gentle exercises, every bit of movement you share with your dog helps keep them comfortable and confident.

Here is to the moments big and small that keep us moving forward together.

August gave us a lot to think about.
From learning new techniques to facing compassion fatigue, this month reminded us that caregiving is complex and full of quiet strength.

To everyone out there supporting a senior, recovering, or mobility-challenged dog:
You're not alone. And you're doing better than you think.

𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.
A hesitation on the stairs. A slow rise from the bed. These little moments can tell YOU a lot—if YOU know how to see them.

In 𝘚𝘪𝘵. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥. 𝘎𝘰!, Kate Titus provides pet professionals and dog lovers with the tools to identify mobility issues early and take action that truly supports comfort and independence.

Because every step counts.

Heads up! We're closing early today (4ish) so I can visit a fashion design class at the U of A! (Hint: It involves dogs and denim.) More details to come! Joey cuteness just for the heck of it. ;)

Today’s just a good excuse to slow down and notice all the ways dogs show up for us, whether they’re bounding toward a leash, leaning in for support, or simply lying nearby, just being there.

They don’t need a holiday to be loyal. But we’ll take any chance to celebrate them.

For some, it’s a hike. For others, it’s floating with a favorite toy in a warm pool, building strength in a way that feels good.

Mobility support doesn’t have to be intense; it just has to be intentional.

This is support that meets dogs where they are and helps them move forward.

Mobility support isn’t just about movement; it’s about balance. Effort and ease. Progress and pause.

This beautiful girl has put in the work, and now it’s time to rest and reset. Braces on, head up, and surrounded by a team that sees the whole dog, not just their diagnosis.

When you hear the word “mobility,” what comes to mind?
For some, it’s long walks or running at the park. For others, it’s a slow but steady stroll to the water bowl.

Mobility isn’t just about how far a dog can go, it’s about how freely they can live.

Tell us: what does mobility mean in your life, or your dog’s?

Slippery tile. Hardwood. Area rugs.
The surface your dog walks on can make all the difference.

When mobility starts to decline, even small shifts, like choosing the right flooring, can help your dog feel safer and more stable.

✔️ Rugs with rubber backing
✔️ Non-slip socks or boots (when tolerated)
✔️ Avoiding polished floors or sudden surface changes

Traction isn’t just a comfort issue; it’s a confidence issue. Let’s help them move forward, securely.

For dogs with progressive conditions or long-term injuries, wheelchairs can help restore independence and joy.

We’ve seen it happen: the first time a dog takes off in a cart—ears up, tail high, eyes focused forward.

This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of what’s still possible.

Whether you're a devoted pet parent or a pet professional, compassion fatigue is real. And it’s okay to name it.
