As an animal lover, I've grown up with dogs all my life. My first memories include my German Shepard mix, and her puppies. I have a Border Collie of my own now, and have had a variety of different breeds from large to small. I spent some time in college working at a Veterinarian in the kennels. It was a great experience caring for someone else's furry family member. Administering medications (both injected and orally) was a daily part of my routine. Additionally it is important to be aware of how your animal is eating and drinking while your away. My goal is always to make sure they are as happy as can be while you are away. Being a Furry Parent, I can understand how stressful it can be to leave your loved pet with someone else. I've always appreciated text messages with pictures and updates and would be glad to do the same for you.
