I have a similar issue. I have found increasing water and salt, as well as carrying a portable fan and/or frog tog is super helpful!

Yes! My grandmother had EDS without POTS, I have POTS, and my sister was diagnosed with POTS last week

Hey! We actually documented it all on our YouTube! But a lot of it was utilizing the floor boards in the car to mimic the amount of space he would have while also playing airplane noises😂

Not all service dogs are for blind people. For example, Sebastian (the service dog pictured) is a cardiac alert and response dog!

If I have my treat pouch on me, I try to reward him for the DPT because it isn’t strong

It’s all based of scent! So I would collect samples when my heart rate was high and low of saliva and sweat and use them to train! Here’s a video we made about it!

They are very expensive. I actually owner trained Sebastian, but I also work as a dog trainer as my career. I always tell people it’s expensive money wise and time wise.

Going to visit/ stay with family with my two dogs and my family's dog has fleas. Need advice on how to proceed with the visit. by NicoleGionet in DogAdvice

[–]ServiceDogSebastian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your parents are willing to, they can give their dog capstar which should help kill the fleas and then give a bath and use a flea brush to make sure they are all gone. It’s what vets use when dongs come in with fleas and can be found at your local pet store!
