Ruff Life

Sadly, this business is now closed. Huge rents, poor foot traffic, and a new Petco on 5^th Street, I guess.
I discovered Ruff Life on one of my walks through the neighborhood and South Pointe Park. It was a Sunday, and they were closed, but looking in the window showed a neat, uncrowded store with premium products and foods. Thought about coming back to check it out. However, I assumed that the location would make it a «Dog Bar» clone in pricing. BOY, WAS I WRONG!
Vincent is always pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating, never makes any special order seem like too much trouble, and has shown me the error of my assuming ways. I special order high-​end cat food for my fuzzy little monsters – food that I used to schlep MILES to Petsmart for – and I get it at a price that’s more than 30% cheaper than Petsmart and NEARLY HALF of what the greedsters at Dog Bar charge for the same food!!! I’m a fan for life, and doubt that I’ll be in Petsmart again any time soon. As for Dog Bar – what’s THAT!!!

I am so excited to have a friendly pet shop within walking distance! Vinnie and his family are the best — always ready with a smile and a treat when I take Hopps in for a visit.
Hopps will only eat one type of food and they special order it for us. And it’s cheaper than I’ve seen it anywhere else. It doesn’t get better than that.
They have a great selection of toys, treats, beds, bowls and the like without the high prices and pretentious attitude of Dog Bar and other places. I’m never shopping anywhere else!
