As a veterinarian and mother of seven (4 humans and 3 dogs), Dr Lisa Chimes understands the joys that dogs can bring to a household. She know all about the cuddles, the wet nose kisses, the pitter-patter of paws down the corridor, the puppy dog eyes and that special greeting when you walk through the door. But also about the poop, the wees, the itching, the muddy paws, the slobber, the stinky ears, bad breath and that undeniable dog smell.
