I started bottle feeding puppies at ten years of age. Daisy our first Yorkie had 3 puppies and one had to be bottle fed almost the whole time. He lived 14 years after that. Coco was a tough little 2 pound dog! Also in 2016 I rescued 2 chihuahuas and my 9 year old at the time and I bottle fed those two puppies for a few weeks. We kept them and named them TIG and Tate. They are so small and they just play together all the time. I also have experience caring for elder dogs and giving oral and eye medication as needed. I took care of my moms 6 Italian greyhounds and my three little dogs last summer while she was on Vacation for 2 weeks. One of my mother’s greyhounds (Mr. Boo) had some major eye issues and my mom almost cancelled her trip. I took Boo to the Vet 2 or 3 times a week as instructed by the vet to check his eye. I am happy to provide you with References from the Vet that describe how collectively we were able to save his eye from having to be removed. I have watched my mom take immaculate care of dogs my entire life so I promise you that your pet will be in good hands. I have a 12 year old son who usually is just playing Fortnite all the time but he is very helpful and gentle. I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t love either one of us. We love Animals and this is a pet friendly environment so if you don’t want to make your pet sleep In a crate while you are away then they are welcome to sleep on the floor or furniture with us. I’m happy to send pics or we can FaceTime so you can see that your pet is happy and well taken care for at all times.
