How It All Began
My journey of helping animals for so many years has been what you would call a labor -- or more appropriately, a "Labrador" -- of love. It started when my husband and I adopted our first puppy 23 years ago, a black Labrador we named Bailey. In the first six months of her life, she suffered from chronic ear infections and skin issues. We took her to three different Veterinarians and the only solutions offered were steroids or a battery of allergy tests. Finally a Vet back in our home town offered a possible cause -- a food sensitivity or allergy. He listened as we begged for a "why" this was happening so we could address the root cause, not just treat with antibiotics or steroids that only would mask the symptoms temporarily. As it turned out, food was only part of the problem.
Fast forward to the present: as a Certified Veterinary Technician, it saddened me to see pets with the same issues and owners wanting something other than just drugs, they wanted a place to get specific vitamins and supplements for pets and they wanted flea/tick preventatives that were safe, more natural and not so expensive. So, after years of studies in the animal field and experience helping friends and family's pets with the same issues, I decided it was time to offer the same help for other frustrated pet owners. I look forward to helping your pet, too. - Thank you, Connie L. Cramer (Owner) |
