This month we celebrated national Pet Day. In honour of our furry friends, here are our top 5 picks for Oxford pet specialists to keep your furry companions happy and healthy.
Pet Specialists, what are they, who are they for?
A pet specialist is someone working in the field of domesticated animals that have specialised in a specific area of service. This could be grooming, food/treats, doggy daycare, transport or pet sitting. Aside from veterinarians there are many specialists that can cater for the needs of your pets that you may not know of. Below is a list of a range of specialists to help you provide everything needed for your companions.
1. Oxford Pet Specialist, Pawshake
Going on holiday when you have pets can seem a little daunting and can prevent many from going. Many of us have family and friends who will kindly take in our furry companions whilst we get our yearly dose of Vitamin D in the sun, but many of us do not have that option.
Pawshake was designed for people to use when they need a well needed break whilst having the peace of mind that their pets are taken care of. The website allows you to search for a verified pet sitter in your area. With over 30,000 verified pet sitters on the website, Pawshake will help find the perfect match for you. Pawshake also gives the option to meet the sitter before sending your companion to them, allowing you peace of mind to enjoy your holiday knowing your pet is happy and safe in an environment that suits them and their needs.
