Summary
I feel that I would be ideally suited to this position, having worked in the veterinary profession for over 20 years, I have a huge amount of knowledge regarding dogs, their behaviour, needs, and general well being.
I am fully aware of how owners feel regarding the care and welfare of their animals always striving for the best for them.
Having four dogs myself I feel I have the empathy and experience for this position.
