Description:

'Like human nurses, canine nurses were to remain under the supervision of male medical superiors, be trained by them, and defer to them whenever explicitly “medical” (veterinary) problems arose... Nurses were moreover to wear uniforms of similar type to their human-concerned counterparts and fulfill similar (albeit dog-related) duties. This replication of established professional gender roles helped legitimate canine nursing as a respectably feminine occupation. Reporting on the new profession, the Daily Mail described Canine Institute nurses as “a band of highly trained young women, in neat blue uniforms and smart white caps and aprons embroidered with the letters “C. N. I.” in bright scarlet.” [note: '“Women Nurses for Dogs,” Daily Mail, 12 June 1909, 3.']' (302)

'Food and feeding enjoyed a prominent place in the professional lives of canine nurses... Nurses managed feeding regimes during whelping, when dogs fell ill, and when dogs (such as was often the case with toys) were found to be constitutionally unsuited to conventional feeding regimes... As the Daily Mail reported, “Canine diet has to be scientifically studied, the food properly prepared, and the sick dog’s appetite tempted with invalid delicacies” during nurses’ training.
