Your pet’s in safe paws
Jacky Dee here! I’m a loving mom to Zoe The Adventure Dog and the proud owner/operator of Nanaimo’s Dee’s Dogs.
I’ve been hiking with and taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and since Dee’s Dogs started in 2018 I have been caring for Nanaimo’s canine and small pet community.
I take my profession seriously.
During hikes I fit GPS collars to all dogs, I carry commercial insurance coverage, and am certified in canine first aid.
In other words, your pet’s in safe paws with me!
