Emmadel H. Pet Care Provider in Lapeer, MI 48446

Hello!
I LOVE pets... like they are up there with chocolate! I view animals as family, with you till the end of the line. I have really only watched two other dogs before, but I have had plenty of experience with animals. I have two dogs, three cats, a horse and seven ducks :) I work on my Aunts farm, with 9 cats, 12 chickens, 2 horses, 2 geese, and a dog. I walk my fur babies (dogs) four times a day for 20 min intervals. This started when one of our Australian Shepherds tore both of her Cruciate Ligaments in her knees and we did physical therapy after her surgery. The Doctor told us that it would be best to build up her muscles again by doing 20 mins every few hours, and so we did and have been doing religiously for 6 years. I have had three dogs and they each have had their fair share of ailments. Needless to say, I am very comfortable giving medications, special diets and "holding of the paws". One of our dogs achieved his Canine Good Citizen Award and was very sweet and loving towards people, while another (the one with knee surgery) did not like people AT ALL! This being said, I am comfortable with dogs of different temperaments and understand the importance of keeping our fur babies on leashes. Our dogs have always been inside pets, so I am well aware of the dangers of them getting into things they shouldn't and therefore take the necessary precautions to avoid vet visits. My mom started going to school to become a vet, but decided to have us instead, so she has taught me everything I know. She has taught me how to clean teeth, trim nails, clean the ears, and just the basic keep up. Also she has taught me what to do in emergencies, such as bee stings, swelling, bloating, bleeding, etc. As I mentioned earlier I also have 3 cats. They get fresh food and water daily and clean litter boxes daily.
