Testimonials

It is blast, especially rewarding because the Parson Russell Terrier breed is instinctly a “ratter”. She really enjoyed herself,and that is always my goal. My high energy dog slept the whole way home. Was relieved to see that the rats aren’t traumatized at all. Also surprised by how many diverse breeds of happy rats there are.
