I know this can be a stressful time for your pet but my goal is to give your pet the best experience he or she can possibly have while we are together . I'm also one to not think about just your pet but the people in the city I will always pic up your dogs waist when walking in the city and carry some kind of water to dilute there urine smell when on the cement . My experience with animals personaly I have had a pet omost my hole life from dogs to birds and one cat and currently a chinchilla . look forward to to meeting your fluffy friend I know we will have a blast and enjoy every minute together .
