Across hundreds of cases in routine practice, emergency care and surgery, I often heard: "doctor, I thought it was normal". Families had noticed a change but did not know what it meant.
Many of these people treated their pets like children. They had searched ten websites, asked the family group chat and found different advice everywhere. Despite their care and effort, they still needed guidance they could understand and use at home.
I created Criando Elos, Portuguese for "building bonds", to share what I learned in the clinic with people caring for pets at home. I want to help families understand what their pets show through their bodies, behavior and daily habits.
Criando Elos teaches you to observe your pet, recognize changes that need attention and understand how to act. It explains the reasoning used in the clinic for people who care for pets at home.
What is normal for YOUR pet: appetite, water, urine, stool, sleep, behavior. Whoever knows the normal spots the abnormal a day earlier.
A veterinarian explains the signs that help distinguish when to watch at home and when to seek immediate care.
What to do, what to write down and what to tell the vet. In the first hours of an emergency, this changes the outcome.
