About

My name is Carmen Schärer. I live with my husband and our two children in the beautiful Zurich Oberland. I grew up with dogs and knew from an early age that I wanted to work with animals. So I did my apprenticeship as a biomedical analyst at the Zurich Animal Hospital, specializing in pathology and microbiology. After this in-depth training, which provided me with a lot of theoretical knowledge, I quickly realized that I missed the personal contact with patients. So I made a complete change of direction and graduated from the Zurich City Police Academy in 2005. In 2008, I was able to fulfill my dream and switch to the service dog unit. I was given an 8-week-old German Shepherd puppy named Knox. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side and I had to take Knox out of service after three years. Shortly afterwards, Knox had to undergo surgery on his back due to a diagnosis of cauda equina syndrome. I began to intensively study pain therapy and other forms of therapy. In 2020, I finally decided to train as a canine physiotherapist and completed the diploma course in canine physiotherapy at Canesano AG.
