Ruta Makes Unique Luxury Pet Furniture, Beds

Store your pet's clothes in this luxurious antique-style armoire from Yvette Ruta.

Earlier this week we looked at a few of designer Yvette Ruta’s couture pet clothing creations, which are now available at the Posh Puppy Boutique.

Did you know that Ruta also creates exquisite pet furniture, including a long list of beds? And just like her clothing, all of Ruta’s furniture is proudly made by craftsmen here in the USA.

Before looking at Ruta’s beds, though, take a moment and peruse some of her unique furniture creations.

This Wooden Antique Style Black and Gold Armoire ($2,420) is handcrafted and carefully distressed with a hand-applied, seven-step process. The result is the appearance of a weathered antique. The armoire has a removable clothing rod for your pet princess and prince’s outfits. The interior features a solid gold metallic faux finish while European-style hinges and antique hardware are used for knobs and handles.

Matching this style, and perfect for any rustic home, is Ruta’s Luxury Antiqued Black/Gold Leash Holder ($100). Measuring 17.5 by 6.5 inches in the shape of a dog bone, it has a black and gold finish using the same antiquing process described above. A pair of antique knobs let you hand leashes from it while two drilled keyhole wall mounts allow you to mount it. A similar Luxury Rustic Leash Holder ($100) features artificial antlers able to hold six leashes.

The Newport chair from Yvette Ruta is a dog-sized compliment to your outdoor furniture.

Ruta has also created outdoor pet chairs in four styles: Hampton ($205), Cape Cod ($280), Bridgeport ($340) and Newport ($415). All come in a wide range of colors such as natural cedar. Sizes vary with the style but all look identical to similar models for humans … except they are designed for dogs. Umbrella holders and leash holders are also available at an extra cost.

While these chairs, and her Adirondack Outdoor Pet Toy Box ($205), are unique designs, so too are Ruta’s luxury beds.

Match the antique-style armoire and leash holder with a Luxury Antique Style Bed ($1,600). Featuring a cherub angel and using the same antiquing process, it has side bumpers made with ultra soft faux mink fur with gold damask sateen backing, a gold sateen back bumper with dangling trim detail and black chenille bedding in a gold leopard print. It holds pets up to 25 pounds.

Luxury leopard fur fur bed, means comfort for your dog.

Ruta’s Shabby Chic 19- by 22-inch Luxury Leopard Faux Fur Bed in Blue ($1,430) uses a cream-colored, antique finished, solid wood design featuring carved appliques and 7-inch decorative handles. It uses “Minky Blue Leopard Fur” (fake fur) for ultra-comfortable bedding. A washable pillow and dry clean-only duvet are part of the package.

Yvette Rua's Dreams of Champagne Bed is a classic.

Another sparkling example of Ruta’s creativity is her Luxury Dreams of Champagne Bed ($1,650). This solid wood creation uses a painted black caviar design with Ralph Lauren Candlestick Silver legs and trim. It has an iron cross with Swarovski crystal detailing, silver handles with black centers and champagne color silk bedding. “Luxury,” this is your pet’s bed.

Jersey style goes to the dogs in this artistic Yvette Ruta creation.

Ruta aims to please, especially for fur babies with attitude! Her Couture Jersey Girl Dress ($200) features black vinyl on tan short pile fur leopard print fabric.

Lifejackets Protect Your Pets In The Water

The Brite Pet Life Jackets will help your dog stay safe around the water.

“Help! Dog overboard!” Let’s hope you never hear that being yelled. One way to protect your precious pup during the dog days of summer, whether at home by a pool or out at the beach, is with a lifejacket from the Posh Puppy Boutique.

Many people think dogs can swim, which they can. But they may not know where pool steps are, nor be strong enough—or calm enough—to swim to them. Lifejackets designed for dogs ensure your pet stays safe.

The PoolPup Steps give dogs an easy exit from the water, even in the deep end.

While not a lifejacket, our PoolPup Steps ($200) are designed for in-ground and above-ground pools. They will not damage vinyl liners. These steps are 12 inches wide with 5-inch high steps. It takes less than five minutes to train your dog how to use them. These steps are perfect if your dog is unattended near a pool or you just want to make sure your dogs can enjoy the water and get out easily. These steps are designed for dogs up to 50 pounds.

Our Brite Pet Life Preserver ($27) come in several colors such as raspberry and bluebird. They have two layers of flotation material for added buoyancy and several Velcro ® straps to secure your pet. Sizes range from teacup to double extra large.

The Pink Polka Dot Life Jacket ($35) is highly visible and adds two layers of safety. First is a last-second grab handle securely sewn into the back. If your dog starts to head into the drink, you may be able to grab them before they get wet. The second key feature is a soft mesh underbelly designed to let water flow out and help keep your pet comfortable. Adjustable nylon straps and quick release buckles are also part of the design. Sizes range from double extra small to large.

The ANGIONE Paws life vests are made with reflective material.

The Angione Pawz Neon Reflecting Life Vests ($60) from designer Puppy Angel come in several bright colors and patterns. They are tough and practical being equipped with a sturdy nylon safety grip on the back. Made with waterproof camo fabric, they are fun, functional and stylish. Sizes are small, medium and large. Color choices include blue, red, purple and pink.

The Neoprene Pet Life Preserver ($25) is made with water-resistant neoprene, which is very durable. It is made with two layers of flotation material and includes quick-grab handles and high-visibility colors. Sizes range from double extra small to extra large.

July 4 Is THE Worst Day For Pets

PLEASE keep your pets safe and secure on July 4.

The rocket’s red glare and bombs bursting in air may look spectacular to humans. To a dog, though, they are frightening.

Many animal welfare groups including the Humane Society of the United States state that July 4 is the worst day of the year to be a pet. Why? Because the loud noises of fireworks—and in some areas, guns—scares the willies out of them. The result is these scared pets run away from the noise then get lost and cannot find their way home.

Here at the Posh Puppy Boutique we are first and foremost pet lovers. We enjoy our dogs, cats and other critters. We want each of you to also enjoy every second with your four-legged friends, not be worried stiff that your little pals are scared out of their minds.

Consider these tips to help keep your pets safe during Independence Day activities:

·         Be certain your pets—dogs and cats—have collars with nametags identifying their name and providing accurate and current contact information.

·         Restrict your pets’ movements during family gatherings. For example, keep them confined to one room with a locked door. Be sure they have plenty of water, food, toys and a comfortable place to sleep. Locking the door keeps curious little people from accidentally letting your “little person” escape.

·         Ideally provide your pets with soothing noises that are loud enough to drown out fireworks and sharp sounds while still being soft enough not to cause stress themselves. Drawing the curtains to block out the sight of fireworks also helps.

·         Use a well-fitted harness, not a collar, when walking them on this particular day. Harnesses are much tougher for dogs and cats to get out of. This gives you more time to pick them up and soothe them if they are scared.

·         Watch what others try to feed your pets. Tell your younger guests that your pets can’t have a hot dog, that candy—especially chocolate, which is poisonous—is bad for them. Instead, let each visiting child give your pet one pet-friendly treat.

·         Leave your pets at home when it comes time for the family to go to the fireworks show. Your dogs and cats are far better off in the safety and security of their home than they are being bombarded by loud noises and bright lights.

For future reference, consider equipping each of your pets with their own Thundershirt. Available in several colors and styles and priced starting at $50, these shirts use gentle pressure to calm pets. This constant, soft pressure acts to calm pets under stress from a variety of sources such as thunder and lightning, fireworks and other loud noises. Sizes range from extra-small to extra-large. A version for cats is also available.

Have fun this holiday. Be safe, America!
