My name is Paulette, and I have 22 years of experience in the veterinary industry, 14 of which as a licensed veterinary technician/veterinary nurse. Recently, I decided to change career paths due to a move and personal development. I have a strong passion for working with animals, especially cats and dogs. I have missed the satisfaction of educating pet owner on proper care and being a voice for our furry friends who can’t communicate their needs. Despite the career shift. I’ve retained a wealth of knowledge and actively pursue further education to keep my license and knowledge up to date.

These experiences led me to create Smitten with Paws. This website shares insight from my many years in practice, highlights cutting-edge products transforming the veterinary field, and aims to offer valuable information that stimulates new ideas, perspectives, and possibly care standards for pet owners and professionals. My particular areas of interest include providing nutritional information, promoting senior pet wellness, and embracing holistic/natural approaches to animal healthcare.
