We visited yesterday and the owner interrupted my wife to ask her to pull her mask up. Her nostrils were fully covered but it wasn't far enough up the bridge of her nose for his liking. This was annoying but we accepted it. We needed more information before our purchase so we returned today after the Michigan mask updates. My wife is vaccinated, so she planned to run in and grab what we wanted. They actually had someone stationed outside the door to make sure you understood they were selectively following the governor's mandates. They wouldn't let my wife in without a mask. Fortunately, it is easy enough to get what we wanted elsewhere. So much for supporting local small businesses. A great way to disincentivize people who have not been vaccinated is to remove the benefits of the vaccine. Way to go militants! Note: in and of itself, wearing the mask is not a big deal. It was the approach that was a bit horrifying. read more

Wow! Talk about impressive!! The people in this shop are so kind and so knowledgeable. Having a diabetic dog can make life challenging! They took us (my dog & I ) around their beautiful shop and offered some great options. They also keep you informed on all of the local dog friendly places and events!

WONDERFUL place for our dog. We visited last summer right before we got our pup and they had great recommendations for treats for new puppies. Came back this summer in search of a shed. The owner was AMAZING and gave great advice on the type for our bread and age. They really know their dogs. My favorite dog store for sure! read more

Thank you so much for the attention to detail during Covid-19. A treat for our pup while waiting and hugs for her when she got in the shop. Olive will definitely be back with her owners!! read more

I always love going to Ruff Life. Gary and the staff are very helpful and super nice!

These folks are the reason you shop small! They care about their customers and the products they represent. Having recently transitioned back to MI from Nashville we are all adjusting to the change in climate, Kane our Weimaraner included. He has lived his whole life in the South so Winter is new to him. We come up to our cabin at Burt Lake and as the weather gets colder we have purchased products from Ruff Life to keep him warm during outdoor activities. We have dealt with the same guy every time we've been in and he has made excellent suggestions, stood behind the products, and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of our Weim. Great store, great products, and most importantly great people! read more
