Guest: Natalie Lindberg

Charmaine welcomes Natalie Lindberg to the show.

Proud to be the owner of such a unique facility, Natalie is a long-time Registered Veterinary Technician. Her specialty pet care services include Canine Swim Therapy (using water for the benefit of physical and psychological wellness) and Fitness Training (cross training for optimal body conditioning).
A San Diego native, Natalie has been working in the professional field of veterinary medicine since 1980 and received her California RVT certification in 1987.  In June of 2009, along with Carol Williams RVT, Natalie purchased The Total Dog and renewed its purpose. Next, they had to "go bigger or go home" and by perfect happenstance found the current facility building...3000+ sq ft, all indoors.  As owner of this innovative center for animal well-being, Natalie is developing relationships and working closely with the veterinarians of San Diego, Orange and Riverside Counties. By responding to pet owner demand, and working with the veterinarians, The Total Dog is able to provide a complete fitness center.  Natalie considers herself fortunate to have the passion, training and education to do what she is meant to do – help pets get on their feet again.
