What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Kids should learn at a young age how to approach , handle and read the body language of a pet. Not all dogs like to be approached without the owner's approval. Your dog may be great off leash, but the dog that he may be approaching, that is on a lead; may not like dogs.
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I have over 20 years in the animal industry, weather that is through the experience of being a Veterinary Nurse, or the continued education I do. My husband is a wonderful supporter and when I'm not working we like to take the family out and enjoy all the beauty FL has to offer. I'm a big advocate for small businesses and building referral partners.
