Our new campaign video was inspired by a simple but tragic fact: everybody hurts. When a Cavalier suffers from an inherited disease, it isn’t simply the dog that suffers but its human family. They are burdened not just with the stress of seeing their much-loved pet in pain but often huge financial costs.
Newsreader Kyle, who suffers from Mitral Valve Disease (MVD), explains the extent of Cavalier health issues and that thousands have signed a petition asking for testing for the two most serious conditions to become compulsory. He then introduces Freddie, Tyler and Beebee, who all live with the pain of Syringomyelia (SM), and the trio make a heart-wrenching plea.
They are accompanied by a choir of Cavaliers, all of whom have either MVD, SM or both. These dogs starred in our last campaign movie The Final Countdown – also made by the amazing people at Superstar Pets. This was made in March 2015 and since that time (less than a year) four of those brave little dogs have lost their battle with inherited disease.
So please, watch the video and do as they ask:sign and help stop the pain.
