Rocky won’t be hungover but most of his staff probably will be. Help us ring in the New Year by letting us lock the doors for the duration of January 1st. Thank you ❤️

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the holiday, we will NOT be getting any deliveries Tuesday, December 31st. If you have a special order due to arrive, please check your voicemail because we likely ordered it early and it came in yesterday or earlier this week. Also due to the holiday schedule for one of our distributors, some orders regularly scheduled to arrive Friday will be delayed by 1 day and arrive Saturday, January 4th. Thank you for your patience.

LET IT BE KNOWN: No entry will be granted into the Haus December 25 & 26–we are CLOSED. Get your pet food and treats and toys for those days ASAP (by 5pm December 24) or forever hold your peace (at least until 11am December 27). If you are expecting a special order next week, we are trying our best to make sure everything arrives when it is supposed to, even if that means it’s coming early. If you are concerned or know you’ll need something ordered, please call us ASAP. When we’re closed, if you happen to walk by during the day, you’ll probably see Rocky and/or Marble but the store is still CLOSED so please don’t make it awkward by pulling on the door and making direct eye contact with them as they shrug their shoulders and/or pretend you don’t exist. Definitely don’t tap on the glass. It frightens (Rocky) and enrages (Marble) the animals.

Rocky drooling when he’s happy is surely a fact you all know so that this joke lands properly, yes?

Your cat was probably eager to scratch the absolute bejeezus out of Santa but we need him at full strength to deliver all our human stuff, so we made a box that your cat can scratch instead. Two bags of treats*, a teaser toy and a pair of catnip toys, plus a bow tie for all of the upcoming holiday portraits they’ll either photo bomb or run away from. Plus tissue paper. Which is the fun part. But you have to get the whole box to get the tissue paper so you might as well grab the whole thing.

*My phone autocorrected “treats” to “threats” and I was very tempted to just leave it that way.

If Santa came down your chimney (that you definitely have), your dog would lose their mind. Tell him to skip your dog this year, because we have you covered (or you have you covered, since you have to pay for this with real money). The December Ruff Box, Dog Edition is HERE! Two treats, a topper, a plush toy, and a bow tie for those holiday portraits!! All this WITHOUT a stranger entering your home!! What more could your pup want? Actually, don’t ask them that; we only have so much room in the box.

*The Ruff Box, Dog Edition comes in sizes small or large, which determines the size of the toy and the bow tie. The treats are identical across both sizes.

Rocky is getting bold with his graffiti threats. But he’s got the right idea: celebrate with us! We’ll keep Rocky at arms length (definitely on purpose and not because he’s already a shy little stinker) so you can shop all our Astro bogos, sales, and promos. Stop by today 11am-5pm!

Your dog will be GOBBLING up this November Ruff Box (hopefully only the edible stuff though)! It’s fall central so even though we have the AC on at the Haus, it at least LOOKS like fall. The Gobble Box, Dog Edition comes in either small or large, which determines the size of the turkey toy and bow tie! The treats and toppers are the same across sizes. Pick up a November Ruff Box in-store or online today!!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Election Day Feed (Cool Cats Vote!) to advertise you something the opposite of anxiety inducing: the November Ruff Box, cat edition! It’s themed after the November Holiday Where We Eat Our Weight In Potatoes, but there’s much cooler stuff than potatoes in here. If your cat wants to play with potatoes though. . . may we suggest Harvestime? There’s a lot of poultry and pumpkin in this box so your cat can live their Autumn Drama Dreams without the leaf piles. Unless you’re bringing those inside for them. No judgement. So pick up a Gobble Box (Cat Edition) in-store or online today!

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).

Welcome To The Ruff Haus.

Who are we? We are a community of people and their pets who share a common belief in treating our furry companions as family!

Whether you're looking for a healthy food option, top notch treat, or a unique leash & collar set, Ruff Haus has you covered! If you're walking through the neighborhood feel free to stop in for a fresh water break or to say hello to our Haus cats Spot and Cisco!
