We asked and you answered! Positioning of a paw or claw, hoof or foot is often times something those new to ClayPaws Kits aren't sure where to start. One or two paws, center or off centered, tail or no tail? We compiled a list of tips clinical staff sent our way! Check our our list on the blog!
🐾
How do you position a paw for print? What tips would you add to our list?

Communication is more than an exchange of words. It is what is said, how it is said, why it is said and sometimes, what is not said at all. When working with clients experiencing grief, this communication is often what sets apart a bond centered practice. Phrases like
🐾
💛 I'm right here, with you.
💛 All of this is overwhelming. What specific questions can I answer?
💛 Everything you are feeling is normal.
💛 Would you feel comfortable talking to me about your experiences?
💛 You were together for so many years. Tell me about some of your special times together.
🐾
Our resource center contains resources for communication during these moments. You'll find information on helpful phrases to say in specific moments, phrases to never say as well as information to support your staff in these moments. Check it out today!

Thank you for sharing your experience! We love anytime a pet parent is provided a print of their best friend. We want to make sure it will last forever!

Check out our take and bake containers as a time saving tool for your practice. We love them because:
🐾 clients can bake right in container (once lid is removed)
🐾 🐾 clients get to personalize their best friends print how they want, when they want!
🐾 🐾 🐾 in the moment, remembering instructions probably will not happen. Each container's protective lid has instructions for when your clients are ready to bake and feel more sure of the process.
🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 personalizing their pet's print at home supports the grieving process for your clients. Allowing them a safe space and time to truly begin memorializing their best friend is a process they can control in a situation that might feel out of their control.
⏰ you and your staff do not have to personalize and bake saving time when necessary.
