The story

A sentence I often heard at the clinic

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.

The project

Veterinary guidance for everyday care

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.

1.

Observe

What is normal for YOUR pet: appetite, water, urine, stool, sleep, behavior. Whoever knows the normal spots the abnormal a day earlier.

2.

Recognize

A veterinarian explains the signs that help distinguish when to watch at home and when to seek immediate care.

3.

Act

What to do, what to write down and what to tell the vet. In the first hours of an emergency, this changes the outcome.

Questions that always arrive

Does the content replace my veterinarian?

No. The project helps you observe your pet and make better use of each appointment. Diagnosis and treatment are the responsibility of the veterinarian who examines your pet.

What language are the materials in?

All products (guides, books, community and courses) are in Brazilian Portuguese. This English version of the site exists so international followers can know the project.

I'm a cat person. Is this for me?

Yes. The guides and the community treat dogs and cats separately wherever medicine requires it, and the community has a dedicated space for each species.
