☀️ Summer is right around the corner, and if you're in the northern hemisphere, you're probably already enjoying your first glimpses of warm weather. Summer typically brings more outdoor activities with our dogs, which can increase their chances of potential injuries due to increased physical activity. Taking a proactive approach to your dog’s health is crucial. Rather than waiting for an injury, taking preventative measures to ensure your dog’s overall well-being is important. Staying Proactive About Your Dog’s Physical HealthIn addition to your yearly veterinary visits, developing a relationship with a canine physio is an effective way to maintain your dog’s health. Wait… so you’re telling me there is physio for dogs? 😲 Yes! There is, and I am proud to be one of them!

 Ready for our annual check-up! Special thanks to Dr. Jaime and the Alma Street Animal Hospital team in Erin, Ontario Every spring, without fail, my dogs and I have a special date marked on our calendar.

By taking my dogs to their vet annually for their general checkup, I achieve the following: As 2023 comes to an end I want to encourage you to reflect on this year and COUNT YOUR WINS! 💪 and I'm not necessarily referring to trophies, medals, or recognitions. These are wins that can not be labelled and are often completely overlooked.
🧠 Our mindset has a big impact on our ability to be successful and what we choose to do in our life. It can either increase our sense of confidence and push us to achieve our goals or it can really undermine us. We are hardwired to remember negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences better than positive ones! So, to help you set your intentions (and keep them!) for 2024, I want to propose an easy-to-implement mindset shift implementing a concept called "The Gap and The Gain" that I recently learned through a book. |
