FAQs

What is PETSPAN?

PETSPAN is YuMOVE’s Blueprint for helping you give your dog as many healthy years as possible. It’s a practical, science-backed guide created by YuMOVE veterinary experts to bring together the everyday factors that help shape your dog’s long-term wellbeing. From movement and nutrition to mental stimulation and healthy habits, it focuses on the pillars that matter most. It’s designed to sit alongside the choices you’re already making for your dog – helping you feel confident that the small, consistent actions you take today are supporting them for the years ahead. 

How do I use the PETSPAN Blueprint?

The PETSPAN Blueprint breaks things down into 25 small, manageable actions you can start straight away. You don’t need to change everything overnight and you don’t need to get it perfect. The goal is steady, consistent progress. There’s also a self-assessment tool to help you see where you’re already doing well and where there might be simple opportunities to strengthen your dog’s routine. You can work through one pillar at a time or focus on what feels most relevant right now. Every small step counts. 

How will the Blueprint help my dog?

The Blueprint is built around habits that research suggests support long-term canine health and quality of life – consistent routines, balanced nutrition, regular movement, enrichment and proactive care. By strengthening these foundations, you’re helping create the kind of environment where your dog can feel secure, active and engaged as they grow older. It’s not about dramatic changes. It’s about thoughtful, evidence-led choices that support resilience over time. Because most of us don’t just want our dogs to live longer. We want them to stay curious, comfortable and ready for whatever adventure comes next – right by our side.
