More than just cupboard love because they know you are their next meal ticket, pets offer unconditional love. They see the good in everyone; they quickly forgive a missed walk if you are too busy, a mish-mash meal when you've forgotten to shop, or a stress-induced curt tone. Pets offer comfort to the lonely, a reason to get out for those who are low in mood, and a focus for someone feeling lost. They simply love their family, their routine, and life in general.
Because scent is such a huge source of information to animals, they can detect a change in health or mood. This is why pets make such good detectives and therapy animals. My lurcher Rory was a Pets As Therapy dog when he was younger, and I have seen first hand the power of his sensitivity. He was able to draw adults with mental health issues out of their internal prison and start to reconnect with the world. I have also worked closely with a charity using Medical Detection Dogs to sniff out cancer.
Growing up in a house full of cats, rabbits, fish and a dog, my love of all animals started at an early age. As an adult I have rescued one timid little cat and two reactive hounds, and I am passionate about raw feeding and holistic natural health for my furry family. I have seen the transformation of a scaredy-cat covered in dandruff to a glossy feline, a worm-ridden bag of bones to a solid dog with a full mane, and a dull-coated, undefined bitch to a muscley shiny powerhouse.
I love my pets, and I love my business. I know most customers by name, what they buy, their pets' preferences and any known allergies. I can help with many common pet complaints and my website shows numerous customer testimonials to my knowledge and support. Personalised customer service is just one of the benefits of shopping locally, I can source specific products where possible and will deliver locally for the less mobile customers. I look forward to welcoming you and your four-legged family members to Lulu's Pet Pantry.
