I have had my own dogs for 14 years and have recently added a cat to the family. I also grew up with many other pets including birds, fish, and other small animals. I am familiar with young pets up to senior pets. I also worked in a pet store in the past where we had to be well versed with necessary needs for our furry (and not so furry) loved ones. I absolutely LOVE animals and have since I was a child, so you can rest assured knowing that your pet is being loved and cared for.
