Dog walking
Sue Schulte (602) 663-0973 – I believe $15 for dog walking (for a small dog) for 30 minutes is a fair price. $20 for medium to large dog (30 minutes)
Our pets cannot tell us when they feel bad, if they are hurting or when their food is upsetting them. Your pet could be suffering from simple environmental stressors or food allergies. Bloating, itching, diarrhea, collapsed trachea, gut issues, kidney disease, cancer support, joint health and aging issues are just a few of the many concerns that your Enlightened Mutt Pet Health Coach will help with visitors. You can build on the first idea or add your second point. Now that you’ve got your visitors’ attention, let them know what they can expect, and encourage them to explore your site. https://www.enlightenedmutt.com/
