I've taken care of dogs of all kinds (small to large breeds) ever since I was in middle school. I have also had experience with dogs at all life stages and am able to administer medications if needed (oral, topical, etc.) I have owned 2 shihtzus as family dogs and I currently own a 4 month old blue heeler so l am comfortable and willing to deal with dogs of all energy levels! As a huge lover for animals, I am also working toward a MS in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation and have handled wildlife with as much care as domestic animals. I consider myself patient and kind and will treat your pet as I do mine.
