Join us for an afternoon of fun, dog themed bingo to benefit the Urban Tails Compassion Fund❤️ . Urban Tails’ founder, Dr Jenny Bennett, believed deeply in the bond between humans and animals and believed just as deeply that a vet visit shouldn’t cause stress or fear for anyone involved. She held certifications in 🐾Fear Free Practice and 🤗Human-Animal Bond. In February of this year, Dr Bennett suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. We still mourn her loss, but strive to honor her legacy by continuing to support the Compassion Fund she started that helps those who may struggle to afford veterinary care for the pets.

Introducing the first of our Free Veterinary Education Series

Healthy Smiles & Quick Thinking: Dog Dental Health and First Aid

We’re excited to launch the first presentation in our new Veterinary Education Series, designed to empower dog owners with practical, lifesaving knowledge.

Our opening session focuses on dog dental health and first aid—two often-overlooked areas that play a huge role in your dog’s overall wellbeing. Learn how to spot early signs of dental disease, keep your dog’s teeth healthy at home, and respond confidently to common dental and oral emergencies.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

• Why dental health is critical to your dog’s long-term health

• How to recognize dental pain and disease before it becomes serious

• At-home dental care tips that actually work

• Essential first aid steps for dental injuries and oral emergencies

• When to treat at home—and when to see a veterinarian immediately

Perfect for dog owners, pet professionals, and animal lovers who want to be better prepared and proactive.
