In January 2012 I introduced myself into the pet industry and set up a Dog Grooming and Pet Boutique business, trading name, The Doghouse. I am extremely proud to be recognized and award-winning within my industry. Since closing my business, in addition to expanding my animal welfare knowledge by working as a veterinary receptionist, I also channelled my love of reading into a book review account on Instagram. I have one Bernese mountain/ Labrador called Alfie who is almost 12 years old, two naughty little cats called Lily and Lola, a corn snake called Colin and a bearded dragon called mushu. Your pet can be guaranteed lots of love and cuddles!!
