PET SERVICE DOG BLOG
Amy has been in the pet services industry since 2009. She has worked with all types of breeds, owners, veterinarians, pet sitters, dog walkers, pet-focused organizations, animal shelters, dog breeders, pet stores, dog trainers, and more. She’s lived and breathed DOG. This blog is a place for her to share the experiences and knowledge she has picked up along the way. New methods and products come out all the time, so this pet service blog will only grow and get edited to represent what Game Time Dog Services believes and trusts. We hope our clients and all who visit find this dog blog to be a helpful resource.
Have a question or maybe you want to share something with us – please reach out! With that said we will only post on pet-related topics and we will not push products we don’t use ourselves and/or believe in. We do not receive any kickbacks from products or services featured on this blog.
This pet service blog is purely to help pet owners and their pets. We do this by sharing the gems of knowledge we have gathered. Some of it is so simple such as Dawn dish soap is the best flea shampoo ever! Don’t waste your money on the expensive stuff that doesn’t work. Other posts may help you decide what to do if you are faced with the difficult decision to use a brace or put your pet through surgery after an ACL tear. We love pets and the dog moms and dads that take care of them. This blog is for you! Happy tails!
