This November, don't leave your dog out on Thanksgiving, instead make sure your pup gets their fix of holiday favorites! November is such a quick month, but we all take a break from the pre-Holiday hustle and bustle for Thanksgiving. We love to sit with our family and friends, take a moment to remember what we're thankful for and enjoy our favorite Thanksgiving foods! This year, don't leave your pup out! Just make sure you stick to bland versions of your favorites when you se

Don't let your dog be without a costume this Halloween, steal these ideas! Halloween is such a special holiday. It's all about fun, silliness and costumes, and we don't have too worry too much about buying presents and impressing our in-laws. Your dog wants to be a part of the fun too! Don't let Halloween arrive without a costume for your furry bestie. We've been lucky enough to see a TON of Halloween costumes at Camp Ruff It this year, especially with the addition of our Dog

Who says Halloween is just for people? Way back in the day... like last year... Halloween was just for people. Kids who liked to dress up and trick-or-treat, college students who liked to party with jell-o shots at frat parties and adults who just want to relive their younger years and go to bed at a decent hour. While we sometimes saw people dress up their dogs, that was the extent of the Halloween fun for our furry friends. This year, there's a new spook in town and it's en

It's time for you to stretch and fall in love with a new pup or two at one of these Illinois puppy yoga events this fall. We are busy people these days. We know we should do more for our mental health, that we should exercise, relax, drink water and spend time with people and animals that we love. But, life gets in the way and we don't always check those items off of our to-do lists. We have an idea for you though... sign up for a puppy yoga class and then you'll get a ton of

When the world is full of stress, there are only a few things we have control over that we know will immediately boost our mood... and one of them is dressing our dogs up for Halloween. Happy October. I don't know how we got here because I'm pretty sure it was July 25th like last week but somehow the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. Sure, when January comes around we're all going to complain, but until then we have the most fun time of the entire ye

Whether it's a birthday, a gotcha day or what pet owners think might be their dog's birthday, they are celebrating - in a big way! When's your dog's birthday? My first dog, Chanel, was born on January 4, 1994 and my second dog, Sonny was born on September 1, 2004. We would celebrate Chanel's birthday with a frozen dog ice cream bar, maybe the name will come to me, but chances are they don't make them anymore. It was a freezie-pup or something, and she loved them almost as muc

How did you find Camp Ruff It Doggie Daycare & Boarding? We would love to know! Here are some of our favorite orgin stories.

Tis the season for our fall favorites, but which ones should we share with our furry friends and which ones should we take home for ourselves. It's officially fall. The humidity (thank goodness) has started to exit the Midwest and we have more time to enjoy the weather out and about with our friends and furry friends. We absolutely want to be taking extra walks with our dogs and spending as much time as we can loving them as we watch the leaves begin to change colors. One of

Naming your pup might not be as easy as you think... if that puppy already has a name! But what do you do if you hate it? Most of us weren't there when our dogs were born. Maybe you were and you got to name the puppies and you knew that little one was destined to be 'Rover,' or 'Kevin,' but chances are you adopted your best furry friend after it already had a first name. So what do you do? Keep that name... even if you adopted a dog named Simba and you know in your heart that

Our dogs are our best friends, so it's fun to imagine that they do all the things we do while we're at work... like have their own jobs! But what job would your dog be best at? We love having fun with all of your on the Camp Ruff It Facebook page, if you're not following us yet, what are you waiting for? Most days we ask you a fun question about your dog, recently we wanted to know what job your dog would have if they needed to go to work just like you - we LOVE your answers.
