About Us:
My husband & I started Amy's Animals in 2002 after I had managed another store for an absentee owner for 7 years. I have been in the pet industry for almost 15 years. I have a passion for providing my customers with the products and knowledge they need to keep their pets as healthy as possible.
I'm very happy to announce that I'm going to be speaking at the 2012 AHVMA Conference in Birmingham Alabama!
I have built my knowledge through years of attending various seminars and lectures including:

I have also gathered a plethora of information about medical conditions and treatments for dogs and cats over the last 15 years from literally thousands of clients. My passion is to share this knowledge to help keep pets as healthy as possible.
The information I share and the recommendations I make are not intended to be a replacement for good veterinary care, but a compliment to good veterinary care.
I highly recommend all pet owners to seek out a Holistic veterinarian in their area. The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Associations website www.ahvma.org is an excellent place to look.
I will continue to attend seminars and lectures to further my knowledge of canine and feline wellness and nutrition.
