What a fantastic post 😊
Over the years I have found myself rescuing/adopting/caring for various animals that have either been mistreated or are elderly and needing palliative type care and I have often been accused of "spoiling" or "fussing" or simply just "going overboard" when it comes to the level of care I provide. But I'm simply considering how I would like to be treated if it were me in these situations instead of an animal, be it a dog, cat, horse or even a guinea pig. I love when I see others who are taking just as much care and consideration of their pets needs as I would, and not just basic needs such as food and water, because emotional wellbeing is just as important for an animal as it is for humans.
This is a fantastic alternative to those cones and I'm sure if more people knew about them they would definitely be agreeable. It's such a shame though that there are still so many vets that stick to their "old school" ways and tell you that this is your only option.
Thanks for sharing some great content.
