Tankie's Legacy Lives On
My husband and I were devastated when our beloved Tankie passed away. At his last check-up, the vet discovered an enlarged heart and immediately put him on multiple medications. My husband and I believe the aggressive treatment caused a heart attack. It was a heartbreaking experience that inspired me to help others through their grief and provide holistic care for their pets.
Tankie's passing was a turning point in my life. It inspired me to start Beach Dawg Care®, holistic pet care services dedicated to providing compassionate care for pets. With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, I strive to create a healing environment for every furry friend. Through natural remedies, energy healing, and personalized care, I aim to improve their overall well-being.
Tankie, our beloved companion, inspired me to start my journey in holistic pet care and animal rescue. I am forever grateful for the love and lessons Tankie brought into our lives. Every dog I care for is a testament to Tankie's enduring legacy.
Join me on this journey of love, healing, and transformation.
Thank you all for your unwavering support.
Rest in peace, Tankie. We will always love you.
