Seeing them go home after being hospitalized is very rewarding.
One of her favorite memories is regarding a cat that was hospitalized for a month and no one could get the cat to eat any food. The kitty ended up eating for the first time for, Erin! Erin, describes the emotions by saying, “ It is one of the best feelings in the world when you can get a sick cat to eat. When she went home it was both sad and happy tears that were shed from me.” We truly love our patients as they are our own here at 1st Pet!
In addition to caring for the patients, Erin, loves training new Technicians and Assistants that join 1st Pet.
