Terms of Service
These terms explain what you can expect from Ruff Ruff Ranch™ and what we ask of you when you use this website, place an order, submit an application, or make a contribution.
Last updated: July 27, 2026
Agreement
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. If you are using the site on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to accept these terms for that organization.
What we provide
Ruff Ruff Ranch™ provides dog training and development education, puppy and prospect guidance, guardian home and breeder mentorship, therapy and service dog foundation pathways, community programs, and a store offering dog food, treats, gifts, and apparel.
Educational content is not professional advice
Nothing on this website is veterinary, medical, nutritional, legal, or behavioral advice for your specific dog. Our feeding calculators, recipe guidance, training material, and handbooks are general education. Always consult a licensed veterinarian before changing your dog's diet, especially for puppies, seniors, pregnant or nursing dogs, or dogs with any medical condition. In an emergency, contact a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital immediately.
No guaranteed outcomes
Training and development outcomes vary by dog, handler consistency, health, environment, temperament, genetics, and program participation. Ruff Ruff Ranch™ does not guarantee service dog qualification, therapy dog certification or approval, public access rights, competition results, breeding outcomes, medical outcomes, behavior outcomes, or placement of any specific dog.
Applications and intake submissions
Submitting an intake form, application, or inquiry does not create a contract, reserve a dog, guarantee acceptance into any program, or obligate us to provide services. We review each submission individually and may decline any application at our discretion, including where we believe a placement would not serve the dog or the family well.
Store orders and pricing
- Prices, product availability, and minimum order requirements are shown at checkout and may change without notice.
- Applicable sales tax is calculated and shown before you submit an order.
- Submitting an order is a request to purchase. Your order is accepted only when we confirm it.
- Frozen raw food orders may require supplier confirmation before payment is collected and before shipment is scheduled.
- We may cancel or limit an order due to stock, pricing errors, delivery conditions, or shipping constraints, and will notify you if we do.
See our Shipping & Refund Policy for delivery, cancellation, and refund terms.
Perishable and frozen products
Raw and frozen products are perishable and temperature sensitive. You are responsible for providing an accurate delivery address, being available to receive the shipment, and moving product to a freezer promptly on arrival. Handle raw pet food using safe food handling practices, keep it separate from human food, and wash hands and surfaces after handling.
Donations and sponsorships
Contributions support our mission and general operations. Unless we state otherwise in writing for a specific program, donations are non-refundable and are not exchanged for goods or services. Contact us if a contribution was made in error.
Member accounts
You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Provide accurate information and keep it current. We may suspend an account that is used to abuse the site, misrepresent identity, or harm others.
