Mateo Kluz TDE/CT

Therapy Dog Extraordinaire/Cuddle Therapist

Works with: All Humans (as long as they pay endless attention to him)
Specialties: Limitless Cuddles

With more than 8 years of paws-on experience helping humans, Mateo is a seasoned professional in the field of emotional support, stress reduction, and advanced cuddle science.

Holding an honorary Degree in Cuddle Therapy, he specializes in several evidence-based interventions including:

• Strategic belly-rub facilitation
• Cozy proximity therapy (also known as curling up by the fireplace)
• Couch companionship sessions, where he is equally happy to sit beside you—or directly on you—depending on your preference and lap availability.

Known for his calm presence and exceptional listening skills, he provides support through a variety of therapeutic approaches. Clients may choose to admire him from afar, which he graciously accepts, or engage in close-range interaction, which he also graciously accepts…especiially if belly rubs are involved.

When not actively assisting humans with emotional regulation, he enjoys maintaining a relaxed work environment, perfecting the art of napping, and reminding everyone that sometimes the most powerful therapy is simply warm company and a wagging tail.

Fun Fact: Mateo believes that Life is better with a little kindness, a warm fireplace, and a very good dog.
