It happens all the time. I tell someone I work with pets, and before I can explain anything else, they ask if I do training or run a doggy daycare. I get it. That is what most people think of first when they hear someone works with animals. But what I do is very different, and honestly, just as important. I help pets and their pawrents thrive through education, nutrition, and holistic care. I focus on keeping animals healthy, safe, and supported through every stage of life.
My work starts with education. I teach Pet CPR and First Aid classes to help pawrents feel confident in emergencies. I offer customized nutritional consultations that take your pet’s specific needs into account, because just like people, no two pets are the same. Every day I answer questions about things like food choices, skin issues, allergies, supplements, and how to support your animal through stress or change. I also help connect pawrents with trusted pet care professionals who are a good match for their specific goals. And for those looking to support healing and comfort on a deeper level, I offer Healing Touch for Animals energy treatments. These sessions help restore balance, reduce pain, and support the animal’s natural ability to heal.
If you are curious about what nutrition might be best for your pet, I offer select products through Pawtree.com/annette that are designed to support skin health, joint comfort, digestive function, and more. Every recommendation is based on what fits your animal’s actual needs, not just what’s trendy.
So no, I am not a dog trainer. I am here to help you be the best pawrent you can be, with knowledge, resources, and care that supports your animal’s whole health. If your goal is to see your pet thrive, not just survive, I am here to walk that journey with you.
