All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Check the dog's or cat's teeth, gums, and breath, and record the home brushing routine near Melton Mowbray, England. A published analysis of over 3 million dog records found small breeds far more often diagnosed with periodontal disease. This pet's home dental care has no current record, so tooth and gum problems can go unnoticed.
Offer to pay $130. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
This is husbandry coaching, not veterinary care, and oral pain, facial swelling, bleeding, loose teeth, or refusal to eat routes to a veterinarian promptly. Never scale teeth at home, and never buy anesthesia-free 'dentistry,' real treatment happens under anesthesia with a veterinarian.
The full safety list for this job:
- Both WSAVA guidelines and AVDC's own position reject anesthesia-free dentistry as cosmetic and harmful.
- Stop any brushing attempt that risks a bite and tell the veterinarian instead.
- The study counted diagnoses in one United States hospital chain's records, so its ratios are never a risk for one animal and never a reason to skip a check: every dog and cat gets the same home audit, and any disease sign goes to a veterinarian for an anesthetized dental exam.
- This packet is independent of and not affiliated with the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, Banfield or the study authors: named as the real, verified source of a published dental study, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- soft-bristled pet toothbrush and a VOHC-accepted pet toothpaste
- a small flashlight or phone light for oral inspection
- notebook or phone app for the audit record
- treats for positive-reinforcement introduction of brushing
Steps
- 1. Record the current home dental-care baseline: brushing frequency, products used, and whether any product carries the VOHC (Veterinary Oral Health Council) seal.
- 2. With the animal calm and gently held, never forced, lift the lips and use the flashlight to observe breath odor, visible calculus, and gum color and redline along the gumline.
- 3. Observe and record chewing changes, dropped food, pawing at the mouth, or reluctance to eat hard food reported by the keeper.
- 4. If daily brushing is not yet established, coach a gradual introduction plan: short handling sessions building to brief daily brushing with pet-safe toothpaste, and record the plan the keeper accepted.
- 5. Confirm and record that no home dental scaling or anesthesia-free 'dentistry' has been attempted or is planned.
- 6. Route any disease sign found (bad breath, calculus, red or bleeding gums, chewing changes) to a veterinarian for an anesthetized dental exam.
- 7. Enter the baseline, observations, coached plan, and any routing into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Current home-care baseline recorded (brushing cadence, products, whether products carry the VOHC seal)
- Structured observation recorded: breath, visible calculus, gum redline, chewing changes, pawing at mouth
- A coached daily-brushing plan the keeper accepted, introduced gradually
- Any disease sign routed to a veterinarian for an anesthetized dental exam, with confirmation that no home scaling or anesthesia-free 'dentistry' was attempted
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
