About Paws & Claws Handouts
Paws & Claws Handouts was created to make veterinary information clear, compassionate, and accessible for every pet owner. As a practicing small-animal veterinarian, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming new diagnoses and at-home care instructions can feel. My goal is to bridge that gap with client education that actually makes sense.
Meet Dr. Shannon Davies
Hi, I’m Dr. Shannon Davies - a small-animal veterinarian with years of clinical experience in general practice. Every day, I work closely with pet owners navigating new diagnoses, chronic illnesses, and lifestyle changes. I’ve learned that clear, empathetic communication is just as important as medical treatment.
I started Paws & Claws Handouts to support both veterinarians and pet owners with resource materials that are easy to understand, medically accurate, and visually clean. My handouts are written the same way I talk to clients in an exam room: simple, supportive, and focused on what truly matters.
Why Clear Client Communication Matters
Modern pet owners are busy, overwhelmed, and often anxious - and research shows the average human attention span is now around 8 seconds. That means owners may only retain a small portion of what we discuss face-to-face.
My handouts are designed with that reality in mind:
Clear, concise explanations
Actionable take-home steps
Simple visuals
Easy-to-read layouts
Whether you’re a veterinary professional looking to streamline your workflow or a pet owner seeking reliable information, these handouts are built to support you at home, long after the appointment ends.
What You’ll Find Here
