Our Beautiful Day Spa and Day Care

Some people ask us why we have a blog and a my space page when we have such a gorgeous website!? The Answer is simple - our website will always be a work in progress but, not as easy to change as a blog or a my space page! I can quickly get to these pages and post pictures, news, updates, etc... faster than we can on our website!

We thought you'd like to see some pictures of our beautiful place so we took a few today! Upon entering A Diamond in the Ruff you see and FEEL the difference in our salon and day care that sets us apart from the rest! We have our lobby/reception area painted a nice shade of calming greens, have soothing music and aromatherapy with a cute "cafe" style table and chairs! Our salon is clean and bright, with a separate bathing area! We offer many spa packages so check out our website for more on the spa! Our day care rooms are The Pampered Pooch Palace for our little prince and princesses and you'll see from our decorations the room is fit for a King and Queen! Our large dog area is appropriately named The Barker Lounge - there's a lot of barking and a lot of lounging going on in there! It really has a nice lounge atmosphere! Sometimes we wonder if old blue eyes is in there!

Also thought you might like to meet our newest "Diamond Girls" Kelly and Michelle who both work in the day care rooms! Both of whom have extensive dog knowledge, and come highly recommended (their info will be up on our staff page on the website shortly)!

We all have a blast every day at work (if that's what we HAVE to call it) and love taking care of your babies and meeting all our new friends!

Birthday Bash for Cash!

We LOVE all our dogs at A Diamond in the Ruff! So if we know of a special day we like to celebrate it! Cash's mom Carol brought everyone in day care (in both The Pampered Pooch Palace and The Barker Lounge) a special treat from our FAVORITE Health Food Store for Dogs - Pets Gone Healthy in Marlborough! Cash had a special cookie with white frosting and it said Happy Birthday in blue frosting on it! Everyone else had their choice of a peanut butter or chocolate dog or a fire hydrant! I got party hats and everyone had a party hat and cookie! We had a blast and a lot of laughs singing happy birthday to Cash and trying to get Alex the Basset Hound to howl along with us! Cash didn't know what to do with his special treat, but once he figured out what it was he was in HEAVEN! As soon as the treats came out everyone retreated to their crates to lay on their comfy beds and eat their yummy treat!

Our Grand Opening Weekend!

GRAND OPENING

A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF!
A DAY SPA AND DAY CARE CENTER FOR DOGS

Every dog has its day!

Northborough, MA April, 2008 - A Diamond in the Ruff, Northborough’s only day spa and day care for dogs held its open house on April 5th and 6th, 2008. A Diamond in the Ruff opened its doors to the public, offering tours of its day spa and two day care areas (The Barker Lounge for larger dogs, and The Pampered Pooch Palace for the small dogs), served refreshments to prospective clients, and offered gift bags for the dogs. Many visitors brought their dogs with them to meet the staff and “sniff out” the new spa.

A Diamond in the Ruff also held a free raffle. Prizes included Red Sox memorabilia, gift baskets, and gift certificates. The grand prize an authentic Red Sox warm-up jacket was won by Northborough resident and A Diamond in the Ruff client, Buddy Fucci (seen here sitting on the chair at the table helping himself to some gourmet treats) and his mother Linda! NO ONE went home empty handed though! Everyone got a special goody bag before they left! Drs. Margo Roman and Ronna Kabler presented their “must-see documentary” Dr. DoMore, which provides an overview of holistic health care and healing options for the beloved pet. The doctors practice holistic/homeopathic veterinary care at Main Street Animal Services, Hopkinton, MA http://www.mashvet.com/.

Owner, Dawn Giovannucci was as happy as a flea in a dog house to see her new day spa and day care filled with so many happy faces. A Diamond in the Ruff is located at 326 Main Street (Route 20 east) in Northborough. Staff can be reached at 508-393-RUFF (7833) and you can find out more information about A Diamond in the Ruff on their website at http://www.adiamondintheruff.biz/.
