Pet Care Writer at Whisker Wellness
I've spent my entire adult life around rescue animals. Today I share my home with two Schnauzer-mix siblings I adopted from Romania, they were on the euthanasia list the week I found them. Before starting Whisker Wellness, I spent several years as an active volunteer at animal shelters, working hands-on with intake animals, behavioral assessments, and owner education programs. That shelter experience taught me how large the gap is between what most people know about their pet's needs and what those animals actually need, and how costly that gap can be. Every article I write is built on that foundation: real-world experience, research cross-referenced against veterinary guidelines (WSAVA, AAFCO, AVMA), and a commitment to honesty about what non-veterinary advice can and cannot do. I am not a veterinarian. Whisker Wellness does not replace professional veterinary care. What it does is help you make better day-to-day decisions for your animals and arrive at every vet appointment better informed.
