Dogs will love that I let them walk and take their time to enjoy their surroundings while still moving at a healthy walking pace. I have a small dog of my own, Perry, who has endless energy and love of all things play. My pug was special needs and through her I learned patience and the importance of a schedule in her routine of care. Additionally in the past I have had both older and special needs dogs and cats so I am comfortable administering medication and changing diapers if needed. I have passed the pet emergency first aid with the American Red Cross and I have a pet emergency safety kit which I've never needed to use.
