Emergency Protocols for Breeders
Know what to do, what to grab, and when to act when whelping or puppy emergencies arise.
Service Description
Emergencies can strike with little warning—but being prepared can make all the difference. In this focused 30-minute mentorship session, Deborah Dahl equips breeders with the knowledge, mindset, and checklists needed to handle the most common—and most critical—emergencies during whelping and early puppy care. From stalled labor and fading puppies to milk production issues and dehydration, Deborah will walk you through the signs to watch for, the tools to have on hand, and how to stay calm when seconds count. This session is ideal for breeders who want to be proactive, prepared, and confident in the face of uncertainty. You’ll leave the session with a clear plan, a stocked kit, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing what to do when things don’t go as planned.
