The heat was no match for us last week in Tallahassee! We joined up again with K9s United for a 2 day K9 medical seminar, where handlers and EMS learned critical K9 trauma field skills, as well as how manage heat injury, GDV/bloat, and more. They also practiced body handling and bandaging on live K9s and trauma skills on our North American Rescue K9 manikin!
We had a great time working with Florida's best, and were happy to have veterinarian Dr. Andrew Ciccolini and SAR handler Athena Haus assist us with instruction!
As always, we're grateful to K9s United for their continued support and dedication to working K9s across the nation.

We're headed to PA next month for a seminar with K9 Kop and then we'll be on hiatus until October as Head Instructor/Owner Brady Smith prepares for a special arrival in August 👶

Let's talk about giving back.

From our start in 2020, we've been committed to the survival and health of all K9s- whether they're working, sporting, or simply enjoying the pet life. We know that first aid and medical field skills are a critical piece in K9 management, and while we always hope that every handler/owner never has to use them, we also know that they're absolutely needed for when that unexpected event occurs. This is why we do what we do - traveling around the country and the world to teach K9 first aid and field trauma skills, as well as providing medical kits stocked with all of the things you need (and nothing that you don't).

Since 2020, we've donated a portion of our profits to organizations we believe are putting in the real work and doing their very best to help law enforcement and others keep their K9s safe.
This past year, we donated a total of 8% of our profits to three great organizations:

K9s United
K9s of Valor
Rescue 22 Foundation

👉April is Prevent Lyme Disease in Dogs month!

👉Just like in humans, Lyme Disease prevention in dogs is critical. Ticks that carry Lyme are typically found in wooded areas, tall grasses, thick brush, and marshes. Lyme disease is transmitted once the tick has been attached to your dog for 24-48hrs.
Serious complications include kidney failure, cardiac complications and neurological complications.

👉Watch for these symptoms:
-Fever
-Appetite loss
-Low energy
-Lameness
-Generalized discomfort/pain/stiffness
-Joint swelling

👉Treatment:
-Antibiotics, veterinary care

👉Prevention (most important!)
-Inspect your dog daily, especially after exposure to high-risk environments.
-Remove ticks immediately. A good pair of fine tweezers is helpful for this. A good explanation of removal process: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/how-to-remove-tick-from-dog/
-Ask your vet to conduct tick checks at exams - helpful in case you might have missed one.
-Talk to your vet about tick prevention options.

Shoutout to retired MPC K9 Karlos on this K9 Veteran's Day! Karlos wasn't originally supposed to be my working dog but everything happens for a reason. Two weeks into a four month training course, my original working dog just wasn't cutting it. I didn't want to miss any training so I grabbed a Friday evening flight from North Carolina to Colorado, dropped that dog off, grabbed Karlos, and flew back to North Carolina for the course. We couldn't fly him as cargo so he had to ride in the cabin with me. New handler and crazy/spastic working dog with no obedience was a fun experience going through the Dallas airport but he did great! He is retired now and lives at home with my family and he fits right in. He has taught me so much and is now helping teach other people! Karlos generally travels with me to teach K9 medical courses but flying lately has been hard with all of the equipment so he is staying at home. I sure do miss him!

New fur, new legs, refreshed innards - who dis?

After a couple of years of heavy service, our manikin was ready for refurbishment!
Thank you to North American Rescue for getting him tuned up and ready for the next few weeks in Florida with K9s United !
We're looking forward to a great few courses in Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando 🐕‍🦺🐕

We're honored to have spent the past week with K9s United in Florida working to get necessary training and information out to K9 handlers and others. Our passion is teaching handlers and those associated with K9 care the knowledge and skills needed to enhance pre-vet survivability in their K9s. Those minutes before veterinary hand-off are crucial, and oftentimes it comes down to what was done (or not done) during that window. We're grateful to K9s United for their support and dedication to this important issue!
