I wouldn't know where to even begin! I have taken care of our extended furry family members since I was a little boy. Professionally, I have worked in the "pet" industry for over 2 years. Personally however I've been doing it since I was about 10? I am twenty-nine now lol. I love when people ask me because it shows me our furry friends are treated as family and that's very important to me as it is for you. I have some experience with more than the basics. The only animal I'm not comfortable due to my lack of knowledge are fish. So if you need something else, don't hesitate to ask. Just for the record, I do smoke but away from any and all animals or kids.
