Healing The Heart Before It Breaks

March 8, 2023 by Bryn Frisina

Elizabeth Allen and Flora

Guest blog by Elizabeth Allen Who are you, what do you do? You say your name, your profession and you can see folks forming mental pictures of how relatable your answer might be in their world. And you feel yourself begin to shrink and expand at the same time and it hurts. Because you want to fit their point of view and yet you can’t help but expand, because you know that you are so much more than the letters after your last name. You are an end-of-life Veterinarian and that changes everything. When you enter the home for an… Continue Reading

Like bandage art? Try our NEW HeartFelt Stickers

November 29, 2022 by Bryn Frisina

Jewel with Heart Bandage Art WEB

The practice of using bandage art on catheter wraps during client-present euthanasia adds a tangible touch of compassion to the care you provide. In times of grief, people will often forget the intangible acts of compassion. So, they need something they can see and feel to remind them of your genuine care for them after they leave your hospital. One way to demonstrate your heartfelt care, especially during times of loss, is to use our new HeartFelt Stickers. The idea for these stickers, like many of our products, came from you–the experienced veterinary team. How bandage art helped me say… Continue Reading

Take and Bake Containers Make Your Job Easier!

Take and Bake Container Presentation

Client Retention for Veterinary Teams: A Powerful Tool

July 27, 2022 by Bryn Frisina

Client Retention for Veterinary Teams

Use ClayPaws Kits post-death to support grieving clients, empower veterinary teams, structure time and client exits after euthanasia and ensure client retention for veterinary teams. Euthanizing a beloved pet is never easy. It’s even harder when the pet’s grieving family is present during the procedure. Yet, family-present euthanasia can be one of the most powerful client retention techniques veterinary teams can us. Especially when they pay close attention to how their client’s final goodbyes are facilitated. After a pet has died, a client’s exit from the veterinary clinic (or the removal of a pet’s body after home euthanasia) presents one… Continue Reading

A Healing Ceremony for Your Clients: Decorating & Baking Prints At Home

June 29, 2022 by Bryn Frisina

A Healing Ceremony

You may not be able to decorate or bake your client’s ClayPaws® prints onsite. That’s okay! It is more important that the print go home as soon after a loss as possible, the same day if it can. Don’t let baking stand in the way of sending pet parents home with their prints. The experience of decorating and baking ClayPaws prints at home can become a healing ceremony for them. When you present it this way, pet parents see that you are providing the opportunity to honor their pet in their own way. The benefits to you of making ClayPaws… Continue Reading
