"The Sibe Vibe" - Talking Canine Epilepsy With Gibson's Lead Vet, Dr. Arnold Rugg




With November being National Epilepsy Awareness Month (#NEAM), on this month's episode of my show "The Sibe Vibe" on Dog Works Radio, I am very excited to be chatting with Dr. Arnold Rugg, Medical Director and Owner of the Kingston Animal Hospital in Kingston, New York.

Dr. Rugg is our lead vet who has cared for my family's pets for over three decades. He also headed the team who diagnosed and cared for my Gibson throughout his journey with Canine Epilepsy.

I can't say enough about the love Dr. Rugg and his entire team has shown not only Gibson, but all our FiveSibes. To me, they are part of our extended family. Gibson loved going to the office so much, that when he was able to go for walks, he would lead me right to their back door! And one of the staff even painted a portrait of Gibson on their outbuilding! What an honor!

The show is an hour long and packed with very important information for anyone who is caring for an Epi-dog (epileptic dog) or who is considering adopting one. Please feel free to share the show's link with anyone who wishes to learn more about Canine Epilepsy and seizures in dogs, and may they #LiveGibStrong.

  15. Epilepsy is a hidden illness isn't it? Not one you can speak knowledgeably about unless you do some reading, and in case you have a vet you can trust!

  17. Dr. Rugg sounds amazing - that's how we feel about our vet for our crew. We've been seeing her for over ten years and I'd be lost without our vet support system. I'm heading over to listen to the podcast while I hop!
