Meet this big guy! This is Odie! He was such a good boy for nail care recently. Many times a nail trim is more than that. We talked all the things about routine maintenance for nail, ear, and dental care. He is just about a year old. Continued and paced exposure work is key with getting a pet used these tasks that are essential in a pet's health and wellness.
I am looking forward to seeing him and his family again in the new year.
Know of someone that would benefit from in home pet care! Please share!

Job perks…

This past September and October for roughly about 6 weeks this little guy was part of my day. Meet Tank!

I was contacted after a referral from Glenwood Pet hospital. I was able to assist with care directly from a veterinary nurse standpoint. He was only one week old when I started in home care with him.

Every parameter was monitored closely for progress. Patient response, food intake, daily weight checks, temperature, and hydration are just some of the items that were monitored.

A few weeks later … Bellah a little kitten was introduced to Tank and boy do these two have fun!

What an absolute joy to be able to see a little tiny baby pup grow and connect with a new little friend.

So happy to be able to bring veterinary nursing to pets when possible at home.

I still have to go visit
when I get chance, I am sure he is now called Tank the tiny twister. I definitely saw this as he started to grow!

Happy times!

Pets! Our Friends and companions! We provide them with everything... love, a home, care, health needs, enrichment, and most of all happiness....

Caring for our friends also requires time, scheduling, patience, knowledge of your pets routine, their likes and dislikes, and all sorts of items dependent on the life stage. Every day care is required, whether it is scooping a litter pan or taking your pup out for a stroll. They are our children literally...

*Sometimes our pets face challenges, which we the pet parent encounter as well.

*It can be challenging to get a pet into a vet clinic for a routine wellness procedure.....

*It can be overwhelming to have a pet recovering from surgery at home....

*Getting a pet adjusted to a new routine that involves medications, diet change, and home monitoring can be a lot to take in...

*Leaving for a vacation can be tricky if you have a pet that needs monitoring and medication. Uncertainty is definitely no fun.

Here is where I come in ....

Having a trained eye directly from the field of vet med is a good thing. Observation and experience make a difference. Looking for any subtle change in condition is what vet techs do.

I aided countless pet patients over the past 30 years with detailed care plans daily. Being on the floor and aiding with various emergencies, surgical, and medical patients is what filled my very long days. Always assessing pet patients for any changes regarding the current medical condition. Communication with clinicians and staff about patient care is and always will be my top priority.

When a pet is discharged from a clinic from being hospitalized you receive important information and your pet that you want to make sure is recovering well. Sometimes there may be questions that you may not have thought about at the clinic .. it can be a lot.

Post operative care and recovery from illness or injury involves so much.... everything from pain assessment, nutrition, urine and bowel movement production, incision care and so much more. These are just some of the parameters that I evaluated for pets post op or hospitalizations. Recovery time can definitely vary between patients. Sometimes treatment plans may need adjusted based on patient response.

I am here to aid by giving guidance with the disease process at hand by using my nursing experience directly from the field to make this new transition for you and your pet easier and less stressful.

Here to aid and support you and your best friends with optimal health, happiness, and wellness!

As always thank you for your support!

It can be overwhelming when a pet
comes home from a surgery or an illness.
Often a pet ''s routine is altered ....it can be a big change for a pet and the pet parent.
Over the past 30 years I have aided with the treatments, observation, nursing care diagnostics, and surgical recovery of countless patients.
Every pet's specific case is unique, Recovery is different for every single pet. Interventions may need to be made at times for recovery.
This is where I come in to aid bringing the experience directly from the field, to you. To give you support and guidance through your pet' s recovery.
