Garra Rufa Europe

The term "Doctor Fish" is a trademarked term and if fish spas are not careful, they might land themselves in hot water! Posted below are at least 4 LIVE registered trademarks in the USA with the word "Dr Fish", "Doctor Fish Spa" or "Dr Fish Pedicure". The supposed founder and originator of the term "Doctor Fish" is a Japanese company called Hareruya Izumu Co. Ltd. They claim to have originally trademarked the term and uses it in their chain of fish spas in Japan, Hawaii and other parts of the world. Today, the term "Doctor Fish" is used frivolously with any other hungry fishes that can just simply nibble on a persons legs or hands. This is where the ignorant public has erred. The real deal and original fish used by the originators of "Doctor Fish" is the still Garra Rufa, from Kangal, Turkey. Remember, the next time you go to a fish spa, ask the owner of the spa if the fishes they are using are the real Garra Rufa or any other carps, cheap tilapia or Chin Chin fish. Do be in the know, stay informed and know what you are really paying for.
