Dog Bed & Breakfast

Michael Wilson is the Managing Partner/Owner of The Dog Bed & Breakfast LLC with over 10 years experience in working with animals in animal hospitals, shelters, kennels and grooming facilities.

Graduate of the Veterinary Technical Institute’s Small Animal Technician diploma program.

My biggest detriment to advancing in the veterinary field was my unwillingness to leave the animals “in the back”, unattended, unloved, and bored to “go up front” to help with routine animal checkups. I was happier in the kennel area making sure everyone had water, a chance for some fresh air, and to make sure their cages were clean.

Not to brag or anything, but if I ever came back as a dog, I would pray for an owner/friend like me. I had a dog years ago that has since past away named Wilson (adopted with that name so he became Wilson Wilson). I adopted Wilson during a time when two family members were diagnosed with cancer. I felt I needed a pick me up, and that’s what he did for me. He helped me through a very rough time. So then when he was around 6 or 7 he suffered some sort of spinal illness/damage and lost mobility of his rear legs. Three days into his hospital stay he had a slight reaction to a foot pad pressure test that indicated some feeling was there.

Wilson Wilson remained a very happy dog and very slowly kept showing signs of improvement. So I kept being supportive of him just like he was supportive of me when I needed it. I worked with him on physical therapy as well as perform other duties many others might not find so pleasant. Over time Wilson learned to use a doggy wheelchair while slowly building muscle back to his legs to just be able to stand again and finally walk again. From a situation that first seemed dismal, we ended up having another six happy years together. And thus began my realization of what I was truly meant to do with my life.

After years and years of various animal jobs I arrive here….

The new facility is around 1700 sq feet.
