I'm a certified animal behavior consultant, former vet tech, and...can you tell? I love cats and dogs! and if you've found my listing, you also share my passion for pets. I learned that people may love their pets--but they aren't always the best informed, and good intentions aren't always enough. I want my books, TV and radio shows, lectures, columns and the like to empower owners by providing the information they need to make informed decisions for the special cats and dogs in their lives. After all, they're YOUR furry family! They deserve good care, depend on you to keep them healthy, happy, and safe.
