Ruff Haus Pets

Okay, you caught me: one *actual* Pride-branded item made into this box and you knowwwww I don’t like to do that, I want it to be everyday stuff that I *make* gay. But in my defense it’s sooooo cute. And the feather boa teaser is gonna be stealing the show anyway (as she should) so I don’t care anymore. 💅 Your gay cat’s not going to a pride parade (probably) anytime soon, so get this box and bring the parade to them, complete with some RIPE fishy treats (I’m not gonna lie to you, not during pride month, they smell). But what’s a pride parade without something a lil funky. Happy Purrrrrride!!! Purriod.🤏

HI GAY!!! SASHAY INTO THE HAUS TO—just kidding. Could you imagine? You know me, I’m Q***r, I’m here, hopefully you’re used to it. Of course I’m doing a gay box. And here it is; items hand picked by me, a gay. Your gay dog will love this box. Your ally dog will like it too, probably if you have one of those, but I won’t speak for them. Happy Pride and all that!!! Let your dog celebrate without having to brave the parade 🎊💅❤️💛💚💙💜

Here is your (ir)regularly scheduled Rocky carousel. Remember: equal rights or he bites!!! Scroll for a surprise. but he loooooooves the bags. Not as a bag, of course, but as a toy.

Ruff Haus Pets will be CLOSED Monday, May 25th. Open as usual (11am-8pm) Tuesday, May 26.

Using the Cats poster as a closing sign for this particular Monday is a bit of a niche pull, but bonus points if you get me 😉

You know what’s really mother? Spaying your cat. (I think i’m hilarious, please laugh.) And while you’re laughing, check out the resources on low cost neuter services in Chicago as well as info about the benefits of TNR for feral cats. Together we can make sure Mother’s Day stays hashtag for the motherrrrs. It’s giving boots tea the house down yes god.

There are a few of our regulars who take their herding dogs to farms for recreational herding of sheep and cattle etc., but we know, logically, some (if not most) of you are not doing all that. And the non-herding dogs don’t need that type of mental stimulation (no shade), so the best city alternative we can think of that will make everyone happy—a farm box. Bring the farm to your dog without all the stink and extra p**p (no guarantees tho) by picking up a Ruff Box in-store or online!!!

Yee—and I cannot stress this enough—Haw

Alternative caption: Tractor? I hardly know ‘er!

Full disclosure: I grew up a horse girl. I’m talking two weeks every summer of unpaid ranch hand labor *for fun*. So yes, this box gives me some war flashbacks BUT your city cat probably doesn’t have such rich farming history. So consider this your cat’s opportunity to cosplay as a working barn cat. Are they going to be championship mousers? Probably not. But they could wreck the heck out of these mouse toys. The only thing I’d recommend YOU handling is mixing the goat milk and growing the grass, but maybe your cat not only has thumbs but has a green thumb in particular, idk. Ruff boxes have launched and are ready for sale in-store or online for pickup!!!

tells us that today is Hairball Awareness Day!! I’m not gonna say “happy hairball awareness day” because it doesn’t seem like something we should celebrate. If anything, I would like to be LESS aware of hairballs. I have two cats, one that rarely gets them, and one that gets them at least once a week when the weather warms up. His hairball routine begins with YOWLING at the top of his lungs, expelling the hairball, and then scraping the nearest surface to “cover” it. This is when I would insert a personal anecdote about one of these products (10% off thru April FYI), but I CAN’T because he won’t even TRY them. Spot liked the stuff and it worked on him so hopefully your hairball-y cat is more like Spot and less like my problem child. So come “””””””celebrate””””” Hairball Awareness Day by trying out one of our solutions!!! 🫡
