Pet Care Tips from a Devoted Animal Lover

While I am not a veterinarian, I have a passion for animals of all types. I love volunteering at the local animal shelters and am always happy to see the dogs' wagging tails and hear the cats' purrs when I help out. I also have several pets of my own, as well. Any time I meet a new pet owner or an experienced one who just needs a little advice, I am always happy to share what I have learned about pet health and care over the years.
