Kim Youngblood

Founder

Kim Youngblood is the CEO at Youngblood's Natural Animal Care Center & Massage. Kim is a graduate of Equissage in Virginia and obtained her certification in canine and feline massage therapy in 2014. She also graduated from Angel's Animals Holistic Care in March of 2018.


Kim has had animals her entire life and used to breed, raise, and show Newfoundland's very successfully.


Her mule Luther is an important part of her life, and she loves trail riding with her daughter Samantha.


Her goals are to help your animals reach their optimal health the natural way and to empower you as the owner. Her prayer is that God will use her hands and talent to improve your animal's health and life. She views the owners as more than clients, but as friends and partners in their animal's care.


When Kim isn't busy massaging animals or working at the store, you will find her gardening, at the gym, working around the farm, hanging out with her cat Tru, sewing, thrifting, painting and spending time with her daughter Samantha.

She hopes her work continues to help animals live happier and healthier lives.

Jacque Powers

Technology Specialist & Marketing
I grew up in a small town in Kansas graduating from Pittsburg State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. I moved to Indiana and received my Master of Arts in Journalism from Ball State University. After moving to Indianapolis, I spent 25 years in corporate marketing and communications while raising my two girls, Ali and Liv, with my husband Mark. Our family fell in love with Golden Retrievers when we brought home our first – her name was “Boogger.” Yep – that’s what you get when you let your 9-year-old name the family dog. Never just a “one-dog family,” we currently have two Goldens – Reggie and Charly. Liv and I spend a lot of time training for and traveling to both AQHA horse shows and AKC Obedience Trials. I was introduced to the “Youngblood Culture” at their Riley Days booth before they even had a store front and have become one of their biggest fans. With my family raised and having done “adequate time” in the corporate world, I decided to join the Youngblood team out of a great love for my dogs and a real curiosity for providing them with the best of life through natural, holistic care and nutrition.

I have two dogs Mia, almost 14 yrs old pittie and Lucy, one yrs old rottie. I have had dogs my whole life and started shopping at Youngbloods several years ago so I could try to help them live a longer and healthier life. The best life starts with food and getting the proper nutrition along with holistic care. I plan on continuing to learn all I can to help my dogs have the best life I can.I don't have any children so my dogs are my babies.

Jane Stangel

Nutrition Specialist
I became interested in feeding my dogs a better quality food and eventually started feeding raw food in the mid 1990's. I have been impressed with the health of my dogs over the years. They are vibrant, healthy, and have even had vets comment on the overall wellness of my dogs. Just like people, animals thrive when they consume the foods they were meant to eat. I've had Australian Shepherds for over thirty years and now live with 2 Mini American Shepherds, Sofia and Esme, and a mixed breed - Roz, on a farm in Greenfield. I was previously an agility instructor and trained/showed several of my Aussies in various agility venues. I have started back into dog sports with my 2 minis and look forward to a future of fun and games with my girls.

Youngbloods Animal Care and Massage is one of those rare places you don’t just shop at—you trust them with your animal’s life and well-being. They offer so much more than enrichment toys, collars, and leashes (though those are thoughtfully curated and top-quality). What truly sets Youngbloods apart is their incredible selection of all-natural vitamins, supplements, and treats, paired with knowledge, education, and genuine care. I truly credit the guidance I’ve received here—especially with supplements—as a major reason my dog is thriving at 13.5 years old with a tenacious spirit that refuses to quit. At one point, my dog was slowing down and starting to feel like a “lame old man.” With their thoughtful recommendations and holistic approach, he has transformed into a playful, full-of-life fella again—moving better, brighter-eyed, and clearly enjoying life. That kind of change doesn’t happen by accident. Youngbloods also offers training opportunities and education that empower you as a pet owner. They don’t just sell products—they take the time to explain why something works, how it supports longevity, and what’s best for your animal’s individual needs. Most importantly, the people who work here genuinely care. You can feel it the moment you walk in. They care about health, nutrition, longevity, and quality of life—not just for your animal, but for you as someone who loves them deeply. If you’re looking for a place that treats your pet like family and supports them through every stage of life, Youngbloods Animal Care and Massage is truly unmatched. I’m beyond grateful for the role they’ve played in my dog’s golden years.
