AUGUST WINNER

Hi my name is Coral, Im an old border collie who hates to stay at home, I go out with my 'boss' to work and love it. Recently I hurt my cruciate ligament and just had surgery, which means no going out or walks, So I'm very bored. This is a photo of me watching the footy with my boss.

This is Richie, my little silver tabby exotic shorthair. We were waiting for Richie's arrival before he even existed!!! When he was born and old enough, young Richie boarded a flight from NSW to Victoria to come and live with us, where he is loved, hugged and pampered!
 
Richie is so relaxed that it is quite easy to mistake him for one of his toy teddies! He now attends cat shows and has won a few awards. Richie is so happy that we discovered Rufus and Coco's fabulous range of products for his cat show needs and, not to forget, his pampering sessions at home.

Bodie is my one year old Jack Russell Terrier and he is one big personality in a little package. Bodie's biggest joy in life is playing fetch; it's what he lives for! From the minute he wakes up, until he finally settles at night he just wants to play. He is one super cute little guy and I couldn't ask for a sweeter shadow to follow me around all day

most gentlest giant. He loves to play with the children and lounge around .
He has a huge personality and is one of the family. Photo is of Coota on
his first Birthday.

 

JULY WINNER

I think Chai is the cutest pet. Nothing phases him, he is so chilled out and he thinks he is king of everyone and everything. This is how he sleeps...flat on his back without a care in the world. He is so soft and fluffy and very "talkative".

This is my 11month old red toy poodle Nala. In the picture, she had just got out of the hair salon and was loving her new look and cute bow. She loved he bow so much that she wore it perfectly for the next few days and she wasn't happy about me taking it out. She loves her travel bed (seen in pic) and always knows when I'm about to head out and eagerly waits to be get in the car too. She gets so excited about getting in the car that our other dogs, who are usually less then thrilled about car rides also want to get in and come for a drive. She's smart, affectionate and definitely has a very unique character that keeps the whole family amused.

 JULY WINNER

My girl Ruby turned the BIG 1 on June 5 2010.
 
She loves her food and will eat just about anything!
 
She loves going for a her walk to the park. Some days she is an angel and some days she will bark at anybody & everybody who will pass us on our walk together.
 
She can be naughty but is still too cute!
 
She loves her baths and has to have one quite regularly due to her love of rolling in smelly things - snails, worms... you name it!
 
I love her to bits!

 

This is a photo of my cute pet, Elke.  She was originally a rescue puppy, who was abandoned and left for dead.   :
 
  

This is a photo of my girl Sushi doing what she loves most: running and playing on the beach. She is a true all rounder who did canine frisbee and agility and is now competing in tracking!

 

I have attached a photo of my dog, Koda (Native American for best friend), Koda is a year old and is a rescue dog. He is the most playful member of our household and is a bundle of fun.  We all ruff him!

I knew Bandit was the puppy I wanted as soon as I saw his photo and by that afternoon I had him at home, he's now been a part of the family for 2 months.  He's a great puppy, a little mischevious, sometimes easily scared, even of his own shadow, but always loveable.  He quickly learnt the word "treat" and loves playing fetch and having big cuddles with everyone.  A cherished and very loved addition to our family!

I wanted to submit our pet dog as it is his birthday on the 29th May. Windsor is a Spanador and has been a wonderful part of our family. He is very sweet natured and loves walks by the river, contemplating life in the garden, and a good hug. We especially love the way his hair has aged on his face and the expressive looks he gives like he understands what we are saying. He has been on the Super Skin & Coat since last year and we are very happy with what it has done for his skin allergies. He may turn 8 years old this month, but at heart he is still a child who love his toys and chow time.

 

This is my favourite pic of our big baby Mace an American Bull dog, Macey likes long walks, and his dinner, he's afraid of the dark and puddles of water, he thinks he's dry clean only. Mace gets upset when his teddy bear gets put through the washing machine, he's a big softy. I hope you think he's as cute as I do.

This is our little pooch "Tiger". He's about 7.5 years old.  He was a pound puppy, approx 18mths when we adopted him from the RSPCA Shelter.  As far as we can make out, he's a Maltese x Silky Terrier.  Thoroughly spoiled & much loved. In 2006 we spent 12 months travelling around Australia & Tiger came with us. He only had to go into kennels twice on the whole trip.  So, he's a well travelled pooch also! We just love him to bits!!

 

JUNE WINNER

This is our chocolate labrador Mocha. Despite setting the cubby up as his doghouse with beanbags and a dog hammock bed, he insisted on our rabbits tiny basket at the back door! He also enjoys galloping a million miles an hour, head buried in the furrows of water at the veggie patch, until he hits a bump and flips!!! He brings so much joy to us each day, and there is never a dull moment! I hope he also melts your heart as he does ours!

APRIL WINNER

This of one of my four fur babies. Harry was adopted from the RSPCA in February of this year. 3 months on and he is the light of our lives. It has taken a long time for him to come out of his shell and not be frightened and last night, for the first time since he joined our family, he actually played with a toy! He's over 3 years old so it's wonderful to see him start acting like a playful pup. He's my shadow and an absolute blessing.

MARCH WINNER

This is our 10 week old lovely beagle puppy, his name is Tom Yum, cute and smart.

Here is a photo that mum took this morning of me and my puppy Chelsea.  We just had a big hair cut as she looked like a sheep; infact her nickname is Sheep!

DECEMBER WINNER

Sandy is a two year old border collie, She's a very energetic dog, always running around chasing birds, bees and anything that moves, but knows it naughty to chase the chickens around the back yard. She loves going for walks and cuddles on the couch before bed time. But her favourite thing is guarding the house and 'chasing' the airplanes out the backyard that fly over the house.
Thanks Nicolette and Jason

 

NOVEMBER WINNER

This is Chika ~ She's a 10 month old Maltese x Silky Terrier ~

She's the newest addition to our family....and also the naughtiest ~ However, she is not a picky eater....so she is great when it comes to feeding time ~

She is greedy though.....when we give her a treat....she will leave the treat on the ground and keep staring at us to see if we will give her another one ~ Sometimes we do.....sometimes we have to learn to ignore her :P ~

She loves her Rufus and Coco vitamins (and I mean.....LOVE) ~

Jasper ~

OCTOBER WINNER

Jaxon is a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel X Poodle who loves going for his daily visits to the park and riding in the car.

On the 17th September Jaxon celebrated his 3rd birthday with a party! He loved opening his presents and tearing up all the wrapping paper afterwards. He got a special cake decorated with dog treats which he enjoyed having a piece of. One of his presents was a Rufus and Coco 2 in 1 Natural Wash which made his fur really soft and fluffy and smells really nice!

 

SEPTEMBER WINNER

This is my dog Rocky. He is four (28 in dog years - therefore the oldest in our house and the boss too). He is a very special dog, he has had three major operations in his short life, 1 on his eye when he was a puppy and two major ones on his legs when he was 2 years old. Besides his little wonky legs he is fine now and likes nothing more than going for walks and slugging it up on the couch. We couldn't imagine life without our little dog/teddy bear.
 

 

June Winner

Meet darling Will. 4 years old. Papillon x Maltese.

Will loves nothing more than a cuddle on the sofa and a nibble on some yummy biscuits.

Ignore his sister Gracie in the background...she is a show off so I thought it time that Will had some of the limelight!

Thanks
Diane 

Mother's Day Winners

Our seal-point siamese kitten, Lola, loves Rufus and Coco 4-in-1 Pamper Spray!  It makes her coat squeaky clean and very silky...until she rolls in the dirt outside!  She is our little miracle as she was the only surviving kitten in the litter and was born 5 days early.  Lola has a fighting spirit - and she also has a fetish with hiding our socks in her basket!  She is definately a well-loved little girl.
 
We would love you to consider her for your pet of the month.
 
Cheers,
Anna and Ben Korkmaz 

This photo was taken when my puppy, Alvin, was 4 months old. He's a Pomeranian bred and is now 5 months old. He is smart and mischievous. He is constantly doing silly things to brighten our day just like this photo. He loves human company, always cheery and is very inquisitive. He thinks he owns the place. 

Alvin is always testing his boundaries with us. He loves to eat just about everything that he can find. We love him dearly.

 

Hi, I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Moe, and I’m almost 3 years old. I was dumped outside the Cat Protection Society in June 2006 with my brothers, sisters and mum. At the time my mum was a volunteer helping out the team at the shelter - cleaning and importantly, helping us to socialise with each other. It helped us to interact positively with people and therefore more likely to find a loving new home – which I did.
 
I have a very shiny coat and the vet tells me I’m extremely healthy - think it’s because I am very spoilt!!…I love the outdoors but am only allowed out during the day as I sleep with mum at night. Hobby’s include playing in my tunnel, eating and snuggling …
 
I would love to be considered for pet of the month!

WINNER FEBRUARY 2009

Hi everyone, my name is Georgie-Pie and I would love to be considered for your pet of the month competition.
 I am an 11 month old little pug (that may be crossed with a Chihuahua...) that runs my household and drives my mummy and daddy crazy (so it is lucky that I am especially cute!) My special talents are barking, eating (my favourite food is banana) chewing thongs and snoring. I am also great at shaking hands!
I have just had an operation where my nostrils have been made bigger because I am too little and found it difficult to breathe. Now I am great and find it much easier to run around with my best friend, Boston, who is a great big shar-pei!
I have finally just grown into my pink Rufus & Co St Kilda collar, which has lovely diamante bones on it and gets lots of comments around town. Hopefully mummy will buy me a peppermint grove collar next, so I can continue to be a stylish little girl!
Lots of love, Georgie- Pie xoxo
(and Natalie)

 

WINNER JANUARY

Hello and happy new year to all of you at Rufus and Coco……
 
Let me introduce myself; I’m Robbie, a 4 year old Labrador, yes I know a little over weight, after all that Christmas pud- I am working on that!
I received your 2 :1 natural wash - shampoo and conditioner for xmas and just loved it! I suffer from a low concentration span, so can’t be in the bath for more than 2 mins at a time, and also have sensitive skin. But now with the natural wash- my skin has stopped itching, my lovely black coat is so shiny, and my owner doesn’t bug me about staying in the bath for longer than I can, which means more time at the dog park with my mates!
 
p.s I also received a lovely collar from rufus and coco, but need to loose some weight so it can fit me.  
 
Happy 2009!
 
Robbie x
 
 

 

You may  find this a  little difficult to believe - our daughter has just  arrived with a cutout of your Herald-Sun advert. She as usual brought her Doberman Coco to play with our Australian Shepherd Rufus.

 Hi, I would like to introduce you to Bella. She is almost 8 years old and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. Bella is a Staffordshire terrier and just loves your Joint aid, after having two knee reconstructions from dislocating knee caps! She also loves the super skin and coat products...
 
I have attached a photo of her at our wedding. As you can imagine our special day was also her special day and she loved every minute of it. She was there at the ceremony and reception and in all the photos. She had a wonderful time and slept very well the day after...
 
She is every bit the spoilt staffy.

I would love you to consider her you pet of the month.
 
Thank you,
 
Vanessa -  NSW  

                                                                       
 

  

I would like to nominate our little Westie Stella. She's twenty months old and as you can see from the photo, she loves to sit on the lounge and watch TV (yes, she thinks she's a person).  Stella is also known as Miss Personality - we are constantly laughing at her quirky little habits.  She often 'talks' and you can tell when she's smiling.  Everyone who sees her can't help but smile back.

Stella takes Rufus & Coco Joint Aid for preventative measures.  The vet has detected a slight knee problem so we try to do everything we can to prevent it from getting sore with age.  I found your website via a google search. Your website is so much more professional than most - I love the branding and design. Most importantly, I found the product information to be very thorough and helpful.  I liked seeing the list of active ingredients with an explanation of what they do.  I was specifically looking for a product with MSM in it, so I was very pleased I found you.  I looked no further and ordered straight away.

Ah this is the life mother & son lazy days Cole rest's on his mum's hip & tummy
Thanks Janine

 

  

DECEMBER WINNER

 

Our Burmese beauty Maximus is a little too smart. He sits, shakes, begs, opens doors (this can be annoying) and loves fetching. Here he is fetching a stick. Who said Dogs are smarter?
