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

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.

Naming your dog is one of the most fun parts of owning a new pup! Maybe you want to stick with a classic like Fido, Spot or Fluffy. Maybe you want to name your dog after a famous pup, like Lassie or Rin Tin Tin, but we prefer the list the Camp Ruff It Facebook fans came up with! We asked our fans to tell us their favorite dog names and to purposely not include their actual dogs. We have a feeling a lot of them might be on the hunt for their newest pup to use these names!

Life is busy. Sometimes it's amazing, but sometimes it's really stressful. Especially right now. We spend MONTHS prepping for the best summer ever with our friends and family and somehow, no matter what happens in May and June, the end of July rolls around and we're innendated with 'Back-to-School' ads and the feeling that warm weather is fleeting and those plans we sort of forget to make won't happen this year. And that's just the fun part of life! We also have jobs, and mon

After countless hours of planning, designing, permitting, construction, and more than a few unexpected delays, we're beyond excited to officially welcome our Camp Ruff It family to our new home at 295 Carlton Drive in Carol Stream!

Summer is officially here which means it's time to start thinking about keeping your pups cool when the temps are hot.

On Friday, May 29th, we turned the disco ball on at Camp Ruff It to welcome our campers to our 3rd annual Camp Ruff It prom. It was everything we dreamed and more. We knew it would be a blast (it always is!) but we didn't know how many of our campers would want to be a part of this year's festivities! We broke records welcoming these dazzling ladies and stud muffin pups to the Camp Ruff It red carpet, presented them with perfect pup prom snacks and drinks and had an inc
