SERVICES
Small Paws offers a variety of services to those living with companion animals. With a strong focus on the “small paws” our primary species are the animals that we often think of as the forgotten ones; the ferrets, rabbits, and small rodents. This is not to say we don't love all animals, we are very excited when you reach out to us to talk about your cat, dog, or bearded dragon, but in all the years that Shannan, has been working with animals she found that more often than not she'd walk into a home because someone wanted to start training their dog and yet their guinea pig would sit in a cage all day with nothing to do. We want to change that and are very passionate about it!
So one step at a time, and we are hoping to start with the small paws (sorry snakes - we love you too!)
Please see our services below and if you have a dog, cat or multispecies household we are happy to work with you too, we're just very excited to get a start working for the little guy and hope you are too.
