FURST PAWS

He started this business too, he just doesn’t know it yet. 🐾 This is Barry. My yellow Lab, my shadow, and honestly — my reason. Every time I’m filming a course module at midnight or second-guessing whether this is worth it, he does exactly what he’s doing here. Looks back at me. Keeps walking. FURST Paws exists because I’ve spent 10+ years watching pet owners freeze in emergencies — not because they don’t care, but because no one ever showed them what to do. Barry can’t fix that. But he’s very good at making sure I don’t quit trying. 😄 If you’re new here — hi, I’m Dr Haylee 👋 I’m a vet building a space where dog owners feel calm and prepared, not scared. Follow along — we’re just getting started. Pawsitively prepared together, Dr Haylee 🐾

"My pet would tell me if something was wrong." 🐾 Would they though?

This is one of the most common things I hear as a vet — and I completely understand why people think it.

But here's the truth: pets are hardwired to hide pain and illness. It's an instinct left over from the wild, where showing weakness could make them a target.

By the time your pet is obviously unwell, things are often already serious.

Swipe through to find out what to look for instead — because the signs are there, you just need to know where to look. 👀

Hi, I'm Dr Haylee — and this is Barry. 🐾

He's a yellow Labrador with absolutely zero first aid skills and an impressive ability to steal socks.

I'm a veterinarian with years of experience watching pet owners panic in emergencies — not because they didn't care, but because nobody had ever given them the tools to feel prepared.

That's why I started FURST Paws. To change that.

My mission is simple — to give pet owners like you the knowledge and confidence to be your pet's first line of defence in a health emergency. Calm, prepared and ready.

Barry's mission is slightly different. Mostly snacks.

So glad you're here. Drop a 🐾 below and tell me your pet's name — I'd love to know who we're looking after!

Your pet can't call 000. But you can be their first line of defence. 🐾

Knowing the signs of a pet emergency could be the difference between life and death — and most pet owners have never been taught what to look for.

As a vet, I've seen it time and time again. A pet owner who knew something was off but didn't know if it was serious enough to act on.

This carousel covers 5 signs your pet needs urgent vet care — swipe through and save it somewhere you can find it in a hurry.

Because when it matters most, you won't have time to Google it. 🐾
