Arthritis Impacts 4 out of 5 senior dogs
I became certified as a Level 1 CAMADVOCATE because I realized that early recognition is key to managing arthritis through exercise, weight loss, pain control and home modifications. I can facilitate the pet parents' goals of improved quality of life for their dog while under the care of their personal veterinarian.
Veterinarian Hannah Capon's Canine Arthritis Management program is by far the best resource on arthritis for both vets and pet parents. https://caninearthritis.co.uk/
Good Healthcare Need Not Be Fear- Inducing
The Fear Free movement was founded by America's vet, Dr. Marty Becker who wrote , "Our mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them." As a Level 1 Fear Free Certified Professional, I have been educated in the handling techniques, behavior management strategies, medications and environmental modifications that can be utilized to establish a Fear Free environment for your dog during vet care and leisure activities.

Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it.
