I have had many pets over the years including dogs and cat but also birds, guinea pig, fish and rabbits. They were all treat like royalty and I was also attentive to any changes in their behaviors so I could try a figure out if they were sick. I give pets a lot of attention! Playtime is the best. I used toys, yard play, treats as a reward and talk to them. I enjoy doggy messages and bathing them for a shining coat. All my pets have been treated like family and regularly to to the get them vet visits for a health check up. Whether on my couch or my bed - my doggy or kitty are very much welcome. Thank you so much!
