Ruff & Wild started with one dog, a lot of dirt, and a guy who just wanted an easier way to take care of him.
Hey, I’m Ryan. That’s me with Cody.
Cody’s a big, curly, black ball of energy, and that coat grabs everything: sand, dirt, leaves, whatever he’s rolled in that day. He’s also the biggest cuddle bug I know. No matter what I did, he was jumping on the couch to watch TV with me and climbing into bed with me every night. Honestly, I didn’t want him to stop. I just wanted him clean when he did.
Full baths weren’t the answer. Taking him to the groomer got expensive fast, and washing him at home meant setting aside way more time than I wanted to every week. The regular wipes I tried tore apart halfway through and barely got past the top layer of his fur.
So I went looking for something better. When I found glove wipes, it clicked right away. You slip one on and clean your dog the same way you’d pet them. You can get into the paws, the ears, the belly, all the spots a regular wipe can’t reach. Cody actually likes it, because to him it’s just extra attention.
I started Ruff & Wild about a year ago to make that simple for other pet owners too. I wanted something easy, affordable, and gentle enough to use between baths, so your pet can stay on the couch with you without it turning into a whole production.
I’m not a big company. It’s just me. I make the decisions, test the products on my own dog, and read every single email that comes in. If you reach out, you’re talking to me, not a support team.
I’m still building this one order at a time, and every one of them matters more than you probably think. Thank you for trusting me with your pets. Cody says thanks too.
