THE VISION: FOR DOG MOMS, BY DOG MOMS. This isn’t just an event. It is a powerful, collaborative movement run entirely by a tight-knit network of local, female-led Toronto pet businesses . From our certified medical training and professional Canine First Aid instructor, our vet tech care, to our private nature venues, our hand-selected artisan calming treats, and butcher cut BBQ meats-every single element of this experience is being curated by passionate dog moms, explicitly for dog moms (and dedicated dog dads!). We understand exactly what your fur baby means to your family. Led by Steph (Certified K9 CPR Instructor and Owner of Yelp top-reviewed Chaos n Kisses Academy) and Zoey Sinclair (Veteran Veterinary Technician, Certified Fear Free pet professional and Owner of GoGoZoey), you will gain the elite, hands-on skills required to act calmly and save your dog's life in a real medical emergency.
