Dirty Doodle Crew Mama Amber here - A few weeks ago, one of my grooming clients was diagnosed with terminal osteosarcoma. Her name is Billie. She's a 3-year-old Aussiedoodle, and like so many of the dogs I get to work with, she's not just a "client" - she's family.
After her diagnosis, Billie had to undergo a front leg amputation and will be starting chemotherapy. Her dads are doing everything they can to give her the best chance at recovery and more time with the people who love her most.
When I found out what she was going through, I wanted to do something to support them during such a difficult time.
So I reached out to some dog brands I truly believe in to see if anyone might be willing to help me put together a recovery care package for her.
And the response completely blew me away.
The dog community showed up in the most incredible way.
So many brands offered to donate toys, treats, supplements, food, enrichment items, and comfort pieces to help make Billie's recovery a little easier.
Around here, we celebrate dogs through the good days and the hard ones - because being loved has nothing to do with being perfect.
So together, we built Billie three recovery baskets filled with kindness from the dog community.
In the next video, I'll show you everything that went into them and pack the baskets together.
Thank you to every brand that helped make this possible. Your kindness means more than you know.
