We are so happy to announce an exciting new guide for new Tripawds pet parents! Join us for Tripawds Foundations, a free six-week guided course that will help you feel so much better about facing amputation with your dog or cat.
The Tripawds Foundations course starts January 14, 2025. Get started in the Tripawds Support Circle Learning Center!
A New Six-Week Learning Journey for All Tripawd Families
We know you want to do right by your new Tripawd.
But knowing what’s best for an amputee pet can feel so overwhelming! And that’s exactly why we created Tripawds Foundations.
It’s a guided, six-week learning tool
With tips that will help you feel more confident and prepared
And support to help you feel less alone, as we embark on the Tripawd Life together!
Six fun lessons will prepare you for surgery, teach you what expect for recovery, and give answers to your questions about life on three legs without overwhelming you.
The first lessons are available starting January 14, 2025.
We want to help you learn, know what questions to ask, and wake up on surgery or adoption day with confidence. Here’s what you can expect.
Tripawds Foundations at a Glance
The six week course is divided into three sections, each with two lessons.
The first section is geared toward pre-surgery. The other two will help pet parents with tips for life on three legs once surgery healing is done.
Students have two weeks to complete each section.
At the end of the challenge in February, points and prizes will be awarded!
This course will always be available for self-paced learning.
