AboutPatti Expertise To date, I've owned 7 dogs, all of which have lived into old age.
Having cared for them in all stages of life, I feel I can offer sound advice to other pet owners, and people considering getting a dog.
I am knowledgeable about the AKC (American Kennel Club) dog breeds, training and exercise, caring for sick and elderly pets, feeding, as well as many holistic treatments pets can benefit from.
My only request is that you write me using standard English and punctuation.
Experience My life experience in this field is more like "on the job training" rather than an actual degree in animal welfare. You may benefit from my experiences over the past 30 years.
Aside from the dogs I've owned, I'm also involved in "breed rescue" and have fostered several dogs, all of which have been adopted to wonderful "forever homes".
I find helping people who want a dog very rewarding.
Question My dog recently got her second inoculation and the vet said wait two weeks to take her out. Its already been a week. My dog is driving me mad and really needs to get out. Will it be ok to take her out or should i wait the extra week?
Answer
Hi Rose,
If your veterinarian has recommended waiting a full two weeks before taking your dog outside, then that's the person you need to be listening to here.
