Publicity for Fun and Profit

There are many methods of promotion within the media mix that allow you to introduce your unique service to the public. A quite successful tool, when used effectively, is the “press release.” A successful press release announces your canine services to the general population, the local veterinarians, canine association members, and other “target” markets for your services. The goal of your announcement is seeing an article about your services followed by watching an increase in the number of clients on …

Maintaining A Visual Promotional Tool

We are quite the visually oriented species. We make many critical decisions during the day based upon visual input. Sometimes the visual stimulus is dramatic, such as a frown on a child’s face. Sometimes it can be subtle as in sensing the expressions of a stranger’s glance. It should be no surprise that we make our purchasing decisions based upon what we see and how we feel about what we see. A useful tool to aid in the promotion of …

Swim Sessions Combined with the TTOUCHMETHOD™ offer Canines New PawsibilitiesBy Pampered Paw SwimSpa Injuries sustained by canines often leave a holding pattern of impaired function and pain in the injured area. These mal-adaptive responses are repetitively used because they are “programmed” as neural patterns which exist below the level of the dog’s awareness. In an effort to protect their body, the animal that is in pain will carry themselves in a way which is beneficial at the time. However long term, …

Mobility and K9 Happiness

Mobility is a major factor in a pet’s happiness and keeping them healthy. The ability to walk and run around freely, being able to do what they want to do when they want to contributes immensely to K9 happiness. I have helped over 35,000 pets over the years and I wish I had kept records of how many animals recovered after using one of our carts. Last week, a mini 3 year old dapple Dachshund named Daisy came to be …

Raising The Odds

Every year in February for the last 14 years K9 Carts has exhibited at the Western Veterinary Conference held in Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the world. I am not a gambler but I usually throw away $10 each year playing the slots. Do I have a system for losing money? No, it depends on what Casino I am in at the time. However if I knew of a Casino or bank of slot machines that guaranteed that there …

Change

CHANGE is a popular word with our new President and every day, whether we like it or not, changes occur all around us – many of which we have no control over and many we do! Life can CHANGE in an instant from a phone call, meeting someone who teaches or influences us, reading a newspaper or book or receiving an email. I grew up in Scotland and in 1960, after visiting Paris, France, I placed an ad in Le …

Whoa Stop! Hey! Come back Charlie!

HEY! STOP! COME BACK CHARLIE !!! The sounds of someone on the move…. these words are music to any health care provider’s ears when they have been caring for someone who is challenged in their mobility. I had been working with Charlie for about 3 weeks when he arrived in my back parking lot and apparently had ‘gotten away’ from his person and was ambling across the field in back… just the week prior, Charlie was completely paralyzed in his …
