Dr D's Pet Care & Fitness

Pet care experience

I REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 48 HOURS FOR MY REGISTRATION PAPERS AND CURRENT VACCINATION CERTIFICATION INCLUDING KENNEL COUGH TO BE GIVEN TO ME BEFORE I FINALIZE THE RESERVATION I have had pets all my life and love animals. Your pet will be treated with all kinds of love and care. At the present time I have a Golden Retriever, Sammy, and a Belgium Shepherd, Decker. 4 years ago, the BC SPCA asked me to rehab this dog who had been hit by a car, had $3000 worth of surgery and no apparent owner. I agreed to rehab him and guess what. HE NEVER LEFT!!!!. Decker and I are wonderful friends and we both love each other. Sammy runs 30-40 miles a week training with my wife and I. He loves his runs in the mountains. Decker will run 6-8 miles a week also in the woods. Since I live right on the ocean and border with Washington state, we can offer care there as well. Now here is my silly devotion to my life pets. I have written my own humorous obituary,however, I name every pet that I have ever had..

Derek was awesome. Willow had a grand time with him and his new puppy.

Derek was amazing with our 2 pups, he treats them like Family and that is what we were looking for. He is such a wonderful man with great morals which makes it much easier to trust him with your animals and in your home. I would give Derek a 10 out of 10 rating if I could, I highly recommend his services!

Derek has looked after our dog a couple of times. Once for a short trip and again for a longer one. Both times our dog was well cared for and judging by the pictures Derek send regularly, happy and content. We will definitely be asking Derek to look after our dog in the future.
