Things I've learned from Spot or Puff?

Sharon Lee, LCSW, is the CEO and Founder of Pet Concierge Tampa Bay, her lifelong dream. She holds a Masters Degree in Social Work and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As her graduate thesis, she studied, researched and discussed the important link between people and their pets, with regard to physical, spiritual and mental health. Her love of animals led to the creation of a cutting-edge program, Pets Healing People, which became the basis of her work in Pet Therapy. For the past 20 years, she has used her expertise with animals to help both pets and people live better lives.

Goal is to…
Help Pets and People Live Healthy, Happy lives.

• Create Positive Pet Environments.

• Assist in Helping Pets and People to Heal.

• Help New Pet Owners to Successfully & Positively Raise Healthy, Happy Pets.

• Show Pet Owners How Pets can Improve their Health

• Show People How to Choose the Right Pet, as it is Important that the Pet that is Selected Fit their Temperament, Living Space and Lifestyle.

• Help People to Understand, Build and Positively Utilize the Human / Animal Bond.

Studies Show the Following………
• Pet ownership can reduce stress-induced symptoms and add years to your life.
• Petting a dog has been shown to lower blood pressure.
• Dog owners required much less medical care for stress-induced aches and pains. • Pets such as dogs and cats provide unconditional, non-judgmental love and affection.

In what ways have your pets, or animals in general improved your life?

Or what have you learned from your pet(s)?

  2. “My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she just wants the food off my plate.”

  3. If it wasn't for my pets, I'd be super stressed. They keep me grounded.
