Lately, I’ve been marveling at how much the pet world is changing — not just in the clinic but in the most delightfully surprising ways.
It’s like everywhere I look, there’s something new that makes me think, “Wow, we’re really doing this for our pets now!”
Just look at these little luxuries… 👀
There are canine-friendly jets like K9 Jets and BARK Air where your pup can fly in their very own seat. Yes, you read that right — their own seat! That’s some serious first-class fur-baby treatment ✈️

And then I kid you not, there are pet wedding chauffeurs (yes, it’s really a thing! 💒🐶).

Here’s how Furever Lasting describes their services:
“From providing safe transportation to attentive care, every moment is tailored to your dog’s comfort and happiness. Our commitment to positive reinforcement and trust-building makes your dog’s experience our top priority. Ensuring a pawfect day for everyone involved!”
And as if that weren’t enough, my IG feed has been sprinkled with the most gorgeous designer dog baths, custom-built right into pet parents’ kitchens and bathrooms.
Honestly… they’re so dreamy I want one for my next puppy 😍

Now, sure, many of these purchases might be geared toward a certain income bracket, but isn’t it just so much fun that they exist? 💁♀️
And here’s the real heart-warmer… the most exciting advancements in the pet world aren’t just about style or travel. They’re in pet health care 💗
While we’re not big fans of that new longevity drug for dogs (I’ll spill all the details in an upcoming podcast with Rodney Habib 🎙️💊)…
…we are huge fans of setting your pet up for the longest, healthiest life possible.
Really, that’s what gets me most excited — helping pets not just live longer but stay healthy for more of their lives.
That means:
✨ Preventative testing so we can catch any little health hiccup early (it’s smart at any age, but I highly recommend starting at 1 year old).
✨ Weekly anti-inflammation protocols which could include rectal ozone sessions, a fresh, varied diet, spring water, and regular acupuncture.
And if you’re blessed with a new puppy or kitten, I can’t recommend Dianne’s Baby Pearls Program enough 🐶🐱
In this 6-month program, registered veterinary technician and seasoned puppy mama Dianne will walk you through all the big decisions of puppyhood and kittenhood, crafting a personalized wellness plan just for your fur-baby 💅
Think…
A personalized vaccine protocol tailored to your pet’s size, health history, and lifestyle, and designed to avoid over-vaccination.
A thoughtful spay/neuter plan based on gender, breed, and lifestyle, and long-term health benefits (without accidental litters).
Advanced PCR stool testing that’s far more accurate at detecting worms and parasites than basic tests.
And because we like to be gentle but effective, we always test before giving any dewormers… plus we offer a holistic, side-effect-free deworming option.
So if you know someone with a new puppy or kitten, please share the Baby Pearls Program with them — because every puppy and kitten deserves the healthiest, happiest start in life 🐶🐈
Your Unicorn Vet,
Dr. Lily 🦄💖
