What inspired the name 'Dude's Doghouse & Spa' and the story behind Dude?
Dude's Doghouse and Spa is named after my Taco Labs dude. He really was my soulmate. Fortunately, he passed way too young. It's only proper to name it after Dude. People will come in and say, I read the story about you and Dude.
Andrew McBride is an entrepreneur, business owner, and the founder of Dude's Doghouse and Spa. Drawing from his commitment to exceptional pet care, he has built a trusted business dedicated to enriching the lives of dogs while providing peace of mind for the families who love them.
One of my favorite things, though, at Dude's is the owners coming home to take their dog home. The dog runs out into the office, happy to see mom and dad. They go in there and they go, That's great. I'm going back in.
