You don’t need to have all the answers, but you do need a simple plan you can follow when it matters ⏳️

A small issue that can cause big problems! 😱

If you work with dogs during the warmer months, it’s worth knowing just how much trouble these little seeds can cause. From limping to serious infections, grass seeds are a seasonal risk many owners don’t see coming.

⬇️ I’ve put together a quick guide you can share with your clients or use to help spot the signs early. Swipe through to learn more and feel free to save or share with your community.

Let’s keep the dogs in our care safe, comfortable, and pain-free this summer. 😎

Doing this ONE thing for yourself (and your community) could set your business apart 👀

Hosting a pet first aid course is a simple way to add real value, build trust, and bring your community together. You leave feeling more confident handling emergencies, and you strengthen your reputation as someone who genuinely cares about their dogs’ wellbeing.

Even better, as the host, you’ll receive a space on the course completely free as a thank you for hosting 💜

I’ve got limited availability for hosting, and I’ll work with you to find dates that suit your schedule.

Send me a message to check availability and secure your date 📅

Hi, I’m Aubrey 👋
If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been around a while, hello again!

I’m the face behind Bluebell Pet Care. I teach pet first aid, but more than that, I help pet professionals and owners (just like you) feel calmer, more confident, and actually prepared when things go wrong.

I didn’t start this because it sounded nice. I started it because I once had to save my own dog from choking on Christmas Day.. and I realised just how quickly panic could take over if you aren't ready. 😪

Before this, I was an animal management lecturer, dog adoptions navigator, and a reactive dog walking specialist. I’ve seen the brilliant, messy, emotional reality of working with animals — the highs AND the hard bits.

Everything I share here comes back to one thing:
Helping you feel capable when it matters most.

If you’re here to learn, grow, or just feel a bit less alone in pet care, you’re in the right place. 💜

Tell me in the comments what you do with animals (or who you share your life with) ⬇️

Stop treating your heat policy like an option ✏️

It’s the only thing standing between you and a preventable emergency 🛑

As a professional, your STOP button shouldn't be a guess. It should be a written standard that protects the pets, your reputation, and your sanity if clients start to push back.

Breaking news: Your favourite pet first aid instructor is heading to the land of tulips and chocolate! 🌷🍫

​I love my job, but even I need a break from talking about emergencies all day! So...I’m heading to Belgium and the Netherlands to recharge my batteries and eat my body weight in fries 🍟

​I’ll be back and ready to talk safety protocols and CPR soon, but for now, the only "emergency" I’m handling is whether to have another stroopwafel 😅

Drop a 🍺 for Belgium or a 🌷 for the Netherlands—help me decide which vibe is better!

In a high-pressure crisis, your "rational" brain shuts down. You won't have time to scroll through a search engine or second-guess your memory.

You need protocols, not just pointers.
​As a pet professional, your goal shouldn't just be to "kinda know" first aid; it should be to have it hard-coded into your response system 🧠

​My digital CPR and Epilepsy guides are designed as study references. They strip away the fluff and give you the straight up, step-by-step sequences required to stabilize an animal in distress.

​These aren't just guides you read once...

They are built to create a mental map of the response. Provide clear, visual layouts for when you need to double-check a step in seconds.
​Ensuring that when the clock starts ticking, your hands know exactly what to do before your mind even has time to panic.

​Equip your business with the expertise that saves lives. Don't just be a pet walker or sitter...be a prepared first responder! 👌💯

The seconds after a dog fight are the most critical and the most dangerous.

Adrenaline is masking pain for the dogs, and your own "fight or flight" response is likely in overdrive 🗣

​But as a pet professional, this is where your expertise is tested. You cannot afford to just "hope they’re okay" and move on.

​Swipe through for the non-negotiable steps you must take immediately after a fight has been broken up 🛡️

Late-night worrying about "what-ifs" is part of the job...but it doesn't have to be.

In the pet industry, we all hope for smooth sailing days. ⛵️ But as a professional, you know that hope isn’t a safety plan. When a dog in your care starts choking or a client’s cat has a sudden seizure, you don’t need an empty, panicked mind—you need an answer!

​That’s why I have a newsletter. Think of it as the professional "safety gear" you carry with you every day.

​It’s packed with the protocols, red-flag warnings, and liability-saving tips that keep your business (and the pets in your care) out of the danger zone 🙅‍♀️

Don’t wait for an accident to realise your toolkit is empty. Subscribe at my website (link in bio and stories), grab your Free CPR Flow Chart, and rest easy knowing you’re the most prepared pro on the block 💪 ⛑️
