Has your vet prescribed esophageal tube feeding for your pet as part of their short- or long-term treatment or comfort care plan?
My handout on e-tube feeding includes video tutorials to see it done in practice & how to hurdle common issues with more confidence.

Are you grieving the loss of a pet & struggling to know how to answer when someone asks, “What do you need right now?”?
Try asking yourself this:
“What would I offer a loved one if they were feeling the way I am right now?”
Compassionate empathy gets pulled inward by projecting it outward.

Keeping this lass out of the vet ER by avoiding a foreign body or poisoning situation with a careful eye & this, which you can obtain, like her humans did. Dogs can breathe, pant & accept treats while not being able to snarf up things—which this munchkin engages in as sport.

Writing prompts are useful tools when experiencing grief surrounding a pet’s death. One that I offer to those I’m tending to is:
“Explore the different emotions you’ve experienced since the death of your pet. How have they changed over time?”

This is a nice snuffle mat. Great for geriatric dogs—their sense of smell is quite intact, even if their mobility is changing.

Did you know? When selecting bedding for your pet, there’s a formula that assures optimal comfort for those resting bones and joints. And so, a thick soft bed with 1 inch of padding for every 10 pounds of weight is the recommendation.

And this is another meaningful way to honor the legacy of a beloved, deceased pet by memorializing them. 🩵
Such a heartfelt way to honor a beloved pet. We’ve had the honor of turning pet memories into custom cartoon art at CartoonLogoX — it's beautiful how creativity can help with healing. ^^^

A new sewing project gives you the opportunity to regain some focus, develop confidence in learning at least one new technique & is a great distraction from the world’s ills. No pattern, not really necessary. Placing grommets is fun.

Correct hand hygiene & other strategies in infectious dz mgmt are a staple in my practice in working w/pets who are in advanced age or terminally ill. I use these (along with Virox Rescue wipes) to keep everyone safe.

Sewing a project w/a medium-heavy weight fabric, & it requires grommets so I had to learn how to install them. This tutorial was funny.
That said, for those w/ experience w/grommets, do you recommend a grommet tool kit or a grommet press tool (looks like a hole punch)?
