I make clay paw prints during my in home visits using Veterinary Wisdom's ClayPaws kits. I make them on site and then leave them for the family to bake. Recently I helped a family who chose to decorate their print with shells before baking. They shared a photo of the finished product, and it was so beautiful that [with permission, and name blocked out for privacy] I had to share. ❤️

Anyone have room in your home and hearts for one (or more) of these "teenagers" (AKA juveniles)? From personal experience I can promise they are MUCH easier than human teenagers! 😻

This was created by one of my colleagues is Southern California. I agree whole heartedly so wanted to share ❤️

We sat down with Dr. Benson to chat about what she feels are important things to remember during your euthanasia appointment. She expressed how important it is to be present during the appointment, and not to stress over the small things! 💜

A Yale researcher developed a vaccine that can slow or halt certain cancers in dogs. And it could be used to treat humans in the future.
