How Svitlana Helps Golden Paws Families

  1. Experience since 2006: Svitlana brings practical experience in puppy care, family communication, and supporting a puppy’s transition into a new home.
  2. Verified breeder coordination: Svitlana verifies breeder identity and contact information, personally visits the breeder, reviews the conditions in which the puppies are kept, and checks the available veterinary examination, vaccination and deworming information, and the puppy’s documents.
  3. Health and care information: Buyers can review available veterinary examinations, vaccinations, deworming, microchip details, expected adult size, and care instructions for the specific puppy.
  4. Thoughtful matching: Svitlana considers temperament, energy, grooming needs, expected size, household schedule, and family expectations—not appearance alone.
  5. Honest expectations: Adult size, coat, shedding, and temperament can vary. Estimates are explained as estimates, and families are encouraged to arrange an independent veterinary examination.
  6. Ongoing support: Families can ask questions about preparation, feeding, sleep, house training, grooming, veterinary care, and helping a puppy adjust after pickup.
