April is a lifelong pet owner whose pets have included dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, turtles and even snakes. She has lived with dogs for over 30 years and has spent time volunteering at a local dog rescue. In addition to her work with dogs, April has been a massage therapist for the past 20 years and has recently started using her massage skills and experience with pets to help manage a v
ariety of issues that our pets can experience both physically and mentally. April started Healthy Pets NH in 2009 with the aim of providing pet owners with training and education in emergency and wellness care for pets. Her goal was to help pet owners to create safer, healthier and happier lifestyles for their pets. She is certified through Pet Tech which is the only international company that exists exclusively to provide training in CPR, First Aid and care for pets to pet owners and pet professionals. After 5 years of being a mobile classroom, April has expanded Healthy Pets NH into a canine wellness center where dogs can get the wellness care that they need in the form of physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, reiki and other holistic and traditional services. April draws from the knowledge and experience of other local vets, dog trainers/behaviorists, groomers, bodyworkers and nutritionists to create activities and classes that encourage a bond with our pets that is based on respect and understanding. April’s goal is to create better relationships between animals and humans through the proper education of both species.
