This Spooky Ruff Box, cat edition probably could’ve still been named “Paranormal Activity”, no play on words needed because let’s face it: cats are little gremlins we allow to wreak havoc in our homes simply because they are cute. And they are. So this box is right up their alley. The HORRORS and GORE your ghoulish feline can unleash on all this stuff will hopefully tear their attention away from the 3am zoomies or their open appointment to Knock Fragile Stuff Over. But, much like the presence of ghosts or lack thereof, there can be no guarantees. Perhaps this box will satisfy the demon spawn that lives in your house, or perhaps not. That is the risk you take when buying a Ruff Box, Cat Edition (now available in-store or online for pickup).

10/07/2024

The scariest thing about this box is that it’s TWO DAYS LATE *gasps in horror*. Listen . Apple Fest and planning a fundraiser takes a lot out of you. Or me. Mostly me, probably, since I’m the only one of the two of us that’s doing both. But the Spook Box, Dog Edition is here, better late than never. It’s our favorite time of the year here at the Haus and if I had better time management skills, this promotional image would do more justice to how excited we are for it, but this pun was the best I could do. So please don’t judge the box by this silly picture, just the cool stuff that’s on the picture. Because the box is so awesome and spooky. And the toys are food. But your dog shouldn’t eat them. That’d be a step TOO far into scary. Plus, the amount of goop (aka wet food) for dogs in this box is enough to pay homage to the 1985 cult classic THE STUFF. Does your dog, like the characters of the 1985 cult classic THE STUFF, like to eat goop they find on the ground? Have them try this goop instead. It’s good for them, unlike the goop everybody eats in the 1985 cult classic THE STUFF. So get dog-safe goop, some non-ingestible food toys, and very ingestible treats in the October Ruff Box, available now in-store or online for pickup!

10/07/2024

Mark your calendars for exactly 20 days from now because we’re having a Paw-rty to raise some money for while we dress our pets up in costumes just for fun! There will be both an in-person AND virtual costume contest this year (more details to come)!!!! Visit the Howl-o-Ween page on our website for more details!!

10/04/2024

If you wouldn’t love Rocky even if he was a worm crawling out of an apple. . . keep that to yourself. But still come say Hi this weekend at Apple Fest! We’ll be there! (No Rocky though, he’s not good at working the booth.)

CONSIDER THIS A THREAT!!! . . . that we have bonus one day only sales coming to you on Saturday to celebrate !

Did you know that Marble has two Creative Writing degrees? So I’ll give you one guess who picked out this month’s theme. You shouldn’t need another hint. But what you do need is this cute literary dog mug!! And your dog needs everything else! Okay I’m using “need” very loosely, but they call it creative writing for a reason, right? Okay, okay, I’ll just explain what’s in here for your dog, starting with the elephant in the room; the stinky cod treats. Fish is rich in omega-3s which support brain health and properties of blueberries do the same. So the Icelandic+ treats probably sound gross but your dog will like them and their health will thank you. The other treats are significantly less stinky (and a lot quicker) but still tasty for your pup and still loaded with goodies and antioxidants to support brain & eye health. (And let’s be honest, some pups need some help in the brains department). The newspaper toy isn’t something we expect them to read, but maybe they’ll surprise us. At the very least, the squeaker and rope will keep them entertained while you read!

p.s. Bonus points if you know what book cover this poster is parodying!

p.p.s. The points don’t mean anything, but I’ll get satisfaction if you recognize it.

What ebook is Rocky reading on the iPad? Wrong answers only.

09/05/2024

November is National Novel Writing Month! “But Marble,” you say, “it’s only September.” Yeah, well, November’s Ruff Box theme is always determined by that big feast holiday, so we’re celebrating NaNoWriMo early. It’s not like your cat is participating anyway, right? So let me have this one thing!!!! Thank you. With that straw man argument out of the way, let me preach eloquent about this box of stuff: there’s a literary quote cat mug for you because odds are your cat won’t like every single thing in the box (do they ever) so at least there’s something you’ll like in it. There’s wet food and treats that will stroke your smarty cat’s ego because they’re smartly named and the antioxidants in the Momentum treats support brain and eye power. And because your cat is more of a visual learner than a listener, the catnip toys are a Cat-Study on art. At the very least, these things (and the box & tissue paper) will keep your feline friend busy while you take a crack at the lengthy TBR stack on your shelf.

p.s. Bonus points if you know what novel cover this poster is parodying.

p.p.s.: the points don’t mean anything. but I’ll feel accomplished if you recognize it.

Just your annual Rocky the Riveter post to remind you the Haus will be CLOSED Monday, September 2nd in honor of Labor Day! So get your pet food this weekend because after 5pm Sunday, you’ll have to wait until 11am Tuesday to get in the Haus for your treats. Please inform your dogs as well, I know a day without in-Haus treats during walks will be a massive tragedy, but our staff is sooooo tired from all the petting and scritching we do that we need the day 🥵🥵🥵 . We’ll still have treats Tuesday, September 3rd though so the treat crawl can resume then :)

08/26/2024

Everyone say “Welcome Back, West Paw!” After a brief hiatus from the Haus, we had enough requests for people looking for their Qwizl and Toppl fix that we brought them back, along with some fresh & new toys! So the lesson for today is that if you’re (politely) persistent enough with your requests for stuff, we’ll probably acquiesce*.

(*For legal reasons, this is a joke.)

Get your paws on some West Paw! Available in-store and/or online for pickup! Get toys in Limited Edition Lavender while they last!

Bring the high seas to your looting, thieving feline brigand with the Purritime Ruff Box (no water required)! This box brings the Caribbean to your Purringbbean with fishy treats and food, plus a fish shaped lick mat (to swab the deck with their tongues, as it were) and some Margaritaville catnip toys!! Your cat is a pirate in their own rite, so what they make of this box is their own; any rules imposed are theirs to break as they see fit—though the box itself would make an awfully good ship. . .

08/05/2024

Hoist the colors!!

08/05/2024

It’s Rrrrrrrrruff Box o’clock!!!! The August Ruff Box is taking your pup to the tides (& Margaritaville) with fishy treats and pirate toys—plus a bite sized Kraken for your pup to thrash. No need to swab the p**p deck, this box can sail to your home as-is!

07/05/2024

BOY HOWDY This box is as country as we could get it in the city, and ain’t nothing more that could make it more country unless you’ve got a cattle dog in which case it’s better than perfect. We brought the BBQ to You(r dog) with a Bacon Cheeseburger no-hide, plus a bag of jerky that makes a great trail snack. The Churro Stick is water buffalo flavored, which your dog will love. And it will give them plenty of energy to tug, chew, fetch, herd(?), and wrastle the TWO toys! The small dog box comes with the Territory Natural Leather Pig and the Worthy Dog Wild Wild West Boot. The large dog box has a natural leather tug toy and a buffalo plush squeaker toy, both from Tall Tails. All you’ll need to complete the box is a cowboy hat. And maybe a horse. But we can’t help you there.

07/05/2024

“Yee-Haw, amirite fellas?” -Rocky, probably.

07/05/2024

Get ya’ll’s cowboy hats on cause it’s time to boot scootin boogie on over to the Haus to get the July Ruff Box! The Yee-Paw cat edition box comes with TWO country pun stickers, three wet foods, four toys, and some catnip buds! Cause there ain’t nothing like a little ‘nip while you’re on the trail.

CAUTION: your cat may develop a southern accent upon receiving this box.

Rocky can’t read but if he could, he wouldn’t mind being in the “Cry Baby Box” because it will be true tomorrow. Things will be exploding in the sky all over the city and our furry friends have no idea why or how—in fact, they probably won’t even see anything, they’ll only hear it. So who can blame them for being stressed and needing some extra security measures? If you’re fresh out of Cry Baby Boxes, try getting some melatonin calming chews and/or upping your pets’ CBD dose just for the next day or so. And don’t forget to make sure all chip and tag information is up to date, just in case the worst happens! We’ll get through these yearly sky explosions together!

*Cry Baby Box and Cry Baby Not For Sale*

07/01/2024

Ruff Haus will be CLOSED Thursday, July 4th. So get your CBD, your melatonin calming aids, and any “stay-out-of-my-way-while-I’m-grilling” treats and/or toys by July 3rd!

Regular Hours Resume July 5th at 11am

What do you mean this doesn’t look like a Pride Box? Would you change your mind if you knew that the fish kicker toy is a RAINBOW Trout? Actually, that doesn’t matter because I already made the boxes and I’m not switching anything out. I tried very hard to not make this Pride Ruff Box just a bunch of rainbow things because I’m sure it gets old this time of year. And cats can’t really appreciate it fully anyway, since they can only see shades of blue, yellow, and gray. So this is stuff they will appreciate. Well, in theory they will. They’ll at least like the fish kicker because it has catnip. And if nothing else, they’ll like the box. I’m not doing a very good job of selling this, am I? But they’re cats so. . . they decide everything, so what’s the point? They’re tired of me yapping and just want to get at the treats anyway. So come grab a Ruff Box even if its just for the box it comes in!!!*

*an empty Ruff Box costs the same as a full Ruff Box so you might as well take all the stuff inside too.

Elton John actually wrote Rocket Man initially to be “Rocky Cat” but audiences didn’t relate to a song about a cat that wouldn’t be born for 48 more years. :/

Spot is keeping entertained with his new Jacques Le Sock that came in today's shipment From The Field!!

Friday play time!

Don't whisper to Spot when he sleeps.

This treat would have lasted less than a minute but with the Can Toy it lasted nearly 5 minutes. Depending on the treat this toy can go the distance. Dogs love it!

With the current dog flu we don't recommend letting your dog drink from communal water sources. Keeping your dog (and yourself) hydrated couldn't be easier with the Olly Bottle from OllyDog!
