Hi, whilst I do not hold professional experience with animals, I hold lots of personal experience. I currently have two dogs (one energy bound 1 and a half year old mini dog and a 14 year old springer spaniel with heart disease !). I also have a 14 year old cat who only cuddles me in payment of treats, but I don't mind. I also have 2 3 year old guinea pigs who get treated like royalty and nothing less. Anything I do not know, I can learn.
