Marie Peppers U.S. View Profile
| Pet Health and Wellness;
My Name is Marie Peppers and I own and operate a Doggie Hotel in Wasilla, Alaska. My location is about 1 hour north of Anchorage Alaska. We are called the Doggie Chalet...WE Cater to smaller sized guest. Our guests, at the Doggie Chalet, stay in our home with us! ``````
My background is in Pediatric Health as I practiced as a Licensed Nurse for 17 years. My education was at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital School of Nursing in Jamacia Plain, Massachusetts ( Boston area). Upon Graduation, I held many positions in Adult Medical Surgical Nursing and Pediatric Nursing care.`````
***My Breeder experience came from Saint Bernards in Rhode Island with my mother. As a child I grew up in a home that had many litters of Saint puppies. This is how my first loved developed for dogs. ****
Over the years, my desire to work with the human population deminished, and I decided to open a Doggie Hotel. `````` My need to care for the companion animal was fulfilled in my new venture.
~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~Medicine Practiced by Veterinarians is focused on alleviation or suppression of the pets physical symptoms, and not looking for the cause of the illness or problem. My studies, over the years, have taken me towards holistic and natural medicine options. In addition, my desire to choose " natural " has taken me to the approach of healthy home-cooked food for our pets. ~~~~~~
****Natural Remedies and choices has given me a new look on Pet Health. To be an informed pet owner is your pet's best medicine. This gives you the advantage when your need to make medical choices.
