Welcome to 4 Legged FriendzyOwned & operated by Shelley Brew, R.A.H.T I grew up in the Okanagan and have spent most of my life here enjoying our wonderful weather and great hiking trails. I have been working with animals for the last 13 years. I graduated from Olds College, Alberta with a diploma in Animal Health Technology. Since then I have been working as a Registered Animal Health Technician (R.A.H.T.) in several veterinary clinics. The majority of my work experience has been with cats and dogs, however, I do have work experience in a caged pet clinic (all birds, reptiles, amphibians and caged pets) and a mixed practice dealing with small and large animals (camelids, horses, sheep and goats). My experience and training has provided me with extensive emergency/medical skills and animal behavioral knowledge. As a qualified R.A.H.T, I am able to competently give a variety of veterinarian prescribed treatments such as: injectibles, SQ, IM or IV (ex. SQ insulin injections), topical eye, ear and skin treatments, oral medications and wound management (change bandage dressings etc.) to the animal while the owner is away. Part of my job as an R.A.H.T is to recognize signs and symptoms of illness which will further assist your pet during dog walks and pet sitting visits. In addition, I have participated/competed in many animal related activities such as: canine conformation and obedience, flyball, and agility. Dogs I have trained have received titles from the Canadian Kennel Club in both conformation and obedience. I have attended numerous canine behavior and training seminars. I am a member of the Animal Health Technologists of British Colombia Association and the All Canadian Pet Services Network. I am recommended by local veterinary hospitals and dog trainers and can provide veterinarian references upon request. And of course, I LOVE ANIMALS!! My Own Animals Dogs have been part of my life since I was a little girl. I got my first dog 20 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I got my first purebred dog 12 years ago, a Doberman named Jean-Luc. We participated in several doggy sports and received C.K.C. titles in both conformation and obedience. For all you dog people out there, you will understand when I say he was that ONE dog! He tried so hard in everything I asked of him and the day we said goodbye a piece of my heart went with him. I now have a Border Terrier named Bean and another Dobie named Clarke. I’m currently working towards an obedience title with Bean. I also have a beloved geriatric cat named Frank. He rules the roostJ Frank and I have been together since college, traveling from apartment to apartment during practicums. Hobbies I love hiking with my dogs. Being a long time resident of Kelowna and avid hiker, I have found many quiet trails to enjoy with your dogs as well. I also enjoy camping, gardening and reading. Another hobby I find rewarding in my spare time is the fostering of abandoned baby birds. |
