Andrea and Mike are not only passionate pet owners, pet lovers, and pet carers at heart, but also the very proud owners of First For Pets. They have been involved in pet care for many years as owners of a diverse range of animals such as cats, dogs, and a variety of birds like parrots, chickens, and ducks. They have also cared for reptiles, degus, hamsters, and fish, which their children looked after, of course! They currently have German Shorthaired Pointers, a Snow Bengal cat, and an African Grey parrot called Seven, who rarely shuts up.

Andrea is a highly experienced dog trainer and spent a number of years training family protection dogs for a very well-respected company for the world market.

Mike brings not only a deep love of pets but also a wealth of business experience and entrepreneurial drive to the business. Mostly behind the scenes, he ensures First For Pets operates in the best interest of the people who trust them to care for their beloved life companions.
