For Professionals

Quality care depends on detailed, accurate information and clear communication between clients and your whole staff.

Your clients need to give you important details about their dog. FAT’s step-by-step structure makes it easy to collect what you need to know. FAT assessments are also ideal starting points for conversations with your clients.

FAT keeps your staff on the same page, with clear consistent information, so they can focus on providing great care.

Humane care is based in an understanding of needs. Misunderstood or unmet needs can lead to stressed, unhappy dogs, and unhappy staff and clients too.

Some dogs are easy to care for, while others have very specific requirements. Can you provide the staff, skills, and resources that the dog requires?

FAT reveals a world about each dog. The color-coded profile highlights significant issues so you know if the dog is suitable for your business or should be referred elsewhere.

Skilled observations are at the heart of animal caretaking.

Your clients rely on you and your staff to be the expert eyes, to know what is critical and what is minor.

You can rely on FAT to be an instructive, professional tool that helps train your staff simply by using it.

FAT’s step-by-step format encourages skillful, detailed observations of the dog. FAT assessments lead to recognition of significant shifts, and support superior caretaking.
