Handcrafted natural treats, skin and paw care products - made for dogs, loved by dogs! Contact us today for more information or to place an order.

My name is Ange Parry, and along with my daughter Tash, we are the mother/daughter duo creating delicious grain-based dog treats for your fur-babies. All treats are handmade and baked in my kitchen with no nasties or preservatives, and containing that lip smacking ingredient no dog can resist ... peanut butter!

We’ve been a little quiet lately … but only because we have been working on some amazing changes to The ‘Ruff’ Stuff!

The first was taking over ownership of a range of dog soap bars, skin/paw/calm balms and fizzies (think loose mix bath bombs) for your pups.

These are a beautiful range of natural products designed to give your dogs that absolute best in skin, paw and coat care, and we are sure you are going to absolutely love them. We’ve been having much fun challenging ourselves and learning new skills and are so happy to be bringing these products to you.

The second is that we are delighted to announce our products are now all available through our very own website www.theruffstuff.co.nz – so you can share our tasty treat options and care range with your friends and family throughout NZ!

All products remain of the highest handcrafted quality, and are human grade (no harm will come to humans if they use or consume them), but of course, are primarily intended to spoil your gorgeous canine companions.

To celebrate these amazing steps forward for our business, we would like to extend to all of you a special deal - visit www.theruffstuff.co.nz, place an order before 31 August, and use the code WEBSITE26 at checkout to receive a 10% discount on your order (excluding shipping costs).

There is so much on the website to browse and see – what are you waiting for? Don't forget to share the link with your dog loving friends and family!

What markets are you attending this month?

We have a quiet month in terms of markets, but that's only because we are working hard behind the scenes to bring some amazing new products to you!

Don't forget, if you can't get to a market we are happy to deliver to you across Hawke's Bay ($5 delivery fee applies).

Here's where you can find us in August ....

Oh my gosh! Occasionally life presents you with opportunities that you just can't get out of your mind, and sometimes that means you have to trust your gut, go all in and believe in yourself!

We have done exactly that recently, and although it's scary to take that leap, it's also extremely EXCITING and we can't wait to reveal it all to you very soon.

NAPIER DOG OWNERS - IS YOUR DOG REGISTERED?

Registering your dog helps Animal Control keep Napier safe, supportive and dog-friendly. All dogs should be registered before Friday 31 July, so if you haven't already done so, please get it sorted. If your registration fee is not fully paid by this date, late payment penalties apply - and no-one wants that!

Ever wondered where your dog dollars go? Here's the answers:

🐾 Reuniting lost dogs with their humans
🐾 Responding to barking, roaming and aggressive dog complaints
🐾 Maintaining dog agility parks and facilities
🐾 Stocking doggy bag dispensers
🐾 Delivering dog safety education in schools and kindergartens
🐾 Supporting owners with fencing, containment and practical advice

Here's some other stats you may find interesting:

🐕 8,120 registered dogs in Napier
