Dr Katie, the Hospice Vet

Ruff Rubs is made up of a team of two friends of 19 years. Their skills combine a Ph.D. in leadership/behavioral management and small business experience, along with animal science, pig farming, and business/communications sense/intense baking skills. Oh, and an undeniable love of dogs. Add to that Canine Massage Therapy training/experience and you have a thriving partnership!Our desire is to improve the quality of life for those who are always there to do the same for us. As we learn more and more about our four legged friends, it is obvious that not only do they feel pain as we do, but communicate it in ways that most don't understand. We seek to understand and have the knowledge and skill through massage to help meet the needs of these precious family members. We also know that many pet parents can sense much about their dogs as they would their own children. Rich communication with our pet parents helps us know their pup faster and more deeply. Finally, we measure success on the satisfaction of our pet parents and the smiles and kisses from our pups.
