Before stepping into my role as the owner of Luckydog in 2018, I was a client for five years, entrusting the care of my French Bulldog, Mr. Bubbles, to the team I would eventually lead. This unique vantage point as a pet parent has endowed me with invaluable insights into the client experience, enabling me to elevate our services from a place of deep understanding and empathy. My journey from client to owner is rooted in a genuine passion for animal care, shaped by seven years of dedicated study and work in veterinary medicine, complemented by a decade of achievement in the corporate sphere. This blend of personal experience and professional expertise informs our commitment at Luckydog to providing customized care that meets the distinct needs of each dog. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our certified positive reinforcement trainers, transparent operations, and the strong relationships we build with the local veterinary community, ensuring a safe, enriching experience for all dogs in our care. My story underscores a commitment not just to maintaining high standards, but to continually enhancing the Luckydog difference, a journey that has been recognized with the Reader's Choice "Best of" award for Lane County Oregon for the last five years.
