I hold qualifications in Animal Care and Equine Management and am currently studying Animal Sciences, with specialist areas including Animal Behaviour (Ethology), Animal Welfare, Ecology, Conservation, and Biological Sciences. This gives me a strong scientific understanding of animal health, behaviour, nutrition, welfare, and husbandry across a wide range of species. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and friends, family, and clients have regularly trusted me to care for their pets, offer advice, and support them with everything from feeding and exercise routines to behavioural concerns and general wellbeing. I am experienced and confident in administering medications, including: * Tablets and capsules * Liquid medications * Eye and ear drops * Topical treatments * Injectable medications, including insulin for diabetic pets * Long-term medication management for chronic conditions My education has given me a strong understanding of recognising early signs of illness and injury. I am trained to monitor for common health concerns such as: * Urinary issues in cats (including signs of urinary blockages, cystitis, and FLUTD) * Diabetes * Arthritis and mobility concerns * Digestive issues * Skin conditions and allergies * Respiratory illnesses * Parasites and infectious diseases * Signs of pain, stress, or behavioural changes that may indicate an underlying health problem I am also knowledgeable about common household, garden, and food-related toxins that can be dangerous to dogs and cats, including poisonous plants, foods, medications, and environmental hazards. Pet first aid and welfare are extremely important to me. I am comfortable monitoring and caring for pets recovering from minor injuries or procedures, including changing dressings as instructed by a veterinarian, cleaning minor wounds, monitoring healing, and ensuring medication schedules are followed correctly. For dogs who enjoy adventures, I am happy to accompany them to grooming appointments, veterinary appointments, or other outings if requested. I also don’t mind muddy paws, wet coats, or dirty cars—if your dog enjoys getting messy, I’m more than happy to hose them off after a walk before bringing them home. For safety, I simply ask that owners provide an appropriate crate, seatbelt attachment, or travel harness for any car journeys. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, anxious, requires medication, or simply enjoys plenty of love and attention, I strive to provide care that is knowledgeable, compassionate, and tailored to their individual needs. 🐶🐱🐰🐴 Your pet’s welfare, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority.
