Before any Ruffwear gear joins you and your dog on a trail run, road trip, or night in the backcountry, it’s put to the test. Rigorously. With real dogs. On real trails. Really running, rolling, splashing, tugging, playing, sleeping, and whatever else it is that canines are inspired to do.
Your dog's already eager to explore with you. Our gear’s built to enhance the journey when they do.

NOTES FROM THE SNOW FIELD
"They keep my pup''s paws dry and warm, which is really all I care about! He''s got longer fur so when we adventure in the snow his paws turn into snow and ice balls, so these allow us to stay out longer and not have to worry about that!"

THE GRATITUDE BOWL
a ruffwear tradition you can make your own
Bacon. Pancakes. Dogs negotiating for a morsel from their human''s plate. There''s a bowl being passed around the kitchen at our office. In it are scraps of paper with sentiments of gratitude we''ve written down.
This is the tradition of the Gratitude Breakfast at Ruffwear.
This year, we''re all working remotely – so while it''ll be a little different, we''re keeping the tradition going. We hope it inspires you to find a new way to incorporate gratitude into your holiday season.

If you''re looking for a story about the special bond that exists between human and dog, you’re in the right spot.
A serious traffic accident meant Kerry Irving lost not just a successful career but his whole way in life, too. Years later, it was a chance encounter with a springer spaniel named Max that saved him.
READ THE STORY
ONE STEP AT A TIME
From their first 50-metre walk to the top of Ben Nevis, Kerry and Max know a thing or two about taking things one step at a time. The Front Range™ Collection is the essential gear designed to help folks do just that.
Made to move and mind the wet, cold elements of winter, the Cloud Chaser equips dogs to forge ahead – even when weather goes sideways.
The softshell upper is waterproof yet breathable. It fends off rain, wind, and snow while balancing temps, whether pausing for a sniff or heading full-tilt into a flurry.
What''s new for Fall 2020? Improved performance and durability on the stretch lower panel.

Favourite Activity: A good sunny hike followed by snuggles under the heated blanket.
As the air grows warmer and the sun lingers longer, we can’t help but get excited for backpacking, camping, and long days on the trail.
Our employees and office dogs sure know how to pack in the fun, so here''s a look at their go-to gear when their furry sidekick is shouldering some of the load. We hope it gets you dreaming about where the trails will take you next.
Blue moons are deep, mysterious, and the inspiration behind one of our favorite colorways for our gear. A blue moon happens when we get a rare second full moon in a single month – and the next one lands on Halloween.
They only show up every few years, so it''s the perfect time to sneak in some moonlit hiking (and maybe some howling) with your #1 trail buddy.

RIDE THE HEAT WAVE
two ways to keep your dog cool this summer
Dogs can stay cool and stay active with the Swamp Cooler™ and Jet Stream™ cooling gear. They both take the edge off of the summer heat through evaporative cooling, shading, and UPF 50+ protection.
The form-fitting Jet Stream is designed for fast and light pursuits like running and biking, while the Swamp Cooler is great for walking, hiking, and everyday use.

SWAMP COOLER VS JET STREAM
How to choose between the two... and what all the cool dogs have to say about them.
SWAMP COOLER
Great for hiking, walking, and
everyday use. Can be worn over a harness.
"They keep our two huskies cool in the South Carolina summer heat. We were concerned about taking our dogs on hikes but since buying these we have gone multiple times without having issues."
-John T.

JET STREAM
Ideal for running, biking,
and other fast pursuits. Can be worn under a harness.

Whether sleeping under the stars or by a cosy fire at home, having a comfortable place for your dog to rest and recover is the bedrock for success between pursuits.
With Ruffwear beds, canine explorers can dig in, circle up, and catch some Z’s as they dream of trails to come.

PUT TO THE TEST
Customers share how these beds stand the test of time – and grime – for their dogs.

“The Restcycle Bed is awesome for outdoor adventures! The durable, weatherproof bottom portion of the shell allows me to throw the bed down anywhere at camp without worrying about dampness of rough surfaces that may damage it.”
-Thomas S.
RESTCYCLE BED
URBAN SPRAWL™ BED
“Attractive product and approved of by our 58 Kg. Great Pyrenees. It was easy to assemble and will be convenient to slip off the cover when it needs washing. I will be ordering another as this was a test for our pack of three Pyrs.”

STAY COOL THE ROGUE WAY
how scat detection dogs keep cool on the job
There’s a good chance the Ruffwear gear you use has been put to the test in the harshest environments by Rogue Detection Teams. They’re a hard-working group of detection dogs and humans doing incredible things in the name of science and conservation. Their valuable feedback to our product development team assures us: if it works for them, it’ll work for you.
Now that we’re in the heat of summer, here’s a look at how the Rogue Dogs stay cool while sniffing out wildlife scat in some of the hottest climates around the world.

GRIP TREX™ BOOTS
Bounder Justin Broderick and Rogue Dog Athena turn to the boots to help protect paws against the hot sand and sharp, spiked plants of desert terrain.
Whether peering deep into a crevasse or ogling the sprawling vastness from high above, it''s easy to spot the artful nature of glaciers. And contrasting their grandeur and sheer power is the vulnerability of their very existence.

GROUNDING IN DAILY LIFE
- photos & words by @caliwolf
"Before summer came to an end, we visited a place we had been a few times before.
A place we are able to find stillness and escape the conflicts of the world and the chaos of our personal lives.
A place we''re able to feel the cool water run across our feet. Hear the breeze whistle through the grasses and trees. Find moments of clarity with Mila by my side.
We''ve been through a lot together—loss, life, a cross country move, and growth. Her companionship and our shared love for being outdoors has helped me through each stage.
I hope you''re able to find these moments of solace with the pup you love."

...and really any dog that’s joining their human outdoors
Professional climber Graham Zimmerman is passing along 6 tips that helped his sidekick, Pebble, become a confident crag dog. Nowadays, Pebble can be found at their local climbing spot happy to be outside, greeting other climbers and dogs, and lounging in the sun.
These tips are helpful for any dog joining their human in the outdoors – and we think tip #3 is paws down the crowd favourite for both canines and people.

TOP GEAR FOR CRAG DOGS
KNOT-A-LEASH™
A rugged, climbing-inspired rope dog leash with carabiner. It uses strong, supple kernmantle rope and a secure locking carabiner. Reflective rope keeps dogs and humans visible in low-light conditions.
KNOT-A-LEASH
KNOT-A-COLLAR™
A low-profile, climbing-inspired everyday dog collar. Clean and elegant, the Knot-a-Collar settles comfortably in short or long fur and reduces matting. Reflective rope keeps dogs visible in low-light conditions.
KNOT-A-COLLAR
HIGHLANDS™ PAD
The lightweight, closed-cell foam and synthetic down insulate from hard, cold surfaces, and a non-slip waterproof base with a soft microsuede sleeping surface makes it easy to clean.
Go on. Let your dog take one last dip in the river even though you’re almost back to the car. The Dirtbag Seat Cover has you – well, covered.
A pro tip from the Ruffwear pack: setting it up in hammock mode has its perks. You get a little extra grime protection than bench mode. And, we have a hunch worn out pups appreciate snoozing comfortably and carefree without potential for rolling off the seat.

BUSINESS UNUSUAL
In 1994, Patrick Kruse launched Ruffwear from a garage with an idea for a collapsible, waterproof dog bowl. We’ve done things a little differently ever since. Today, we remain proudly self-funded, ever adventurous, and always driven by our mission: To enhance and inspire exploration for outdoor adventurers and their human companions.
In a year of countless obstacles and challenges, we gained new appreciation for the power behind staying connected – to our dogs, to nature, and to each other.
There’s a trail of twists and climbs behind us and an unknown destination ahead. So, we’re pausing, taking a moment to linger in the moment where we’re at, and feeling grateful that you are right here with us in this community of explorers and their human companions.
Happiest of holidays to you and your pack! Here’s to celebrating just how much our dogs shape our lives.

A MOMENT OF PEACE
winter in the northern hemisphere
This time of year is so often described as busy, stressful, chaotic.
For those of us seeking a moment of peace, solitude, grounding, or reflection this season, Alli – Ruffwear’s Community & Content Manager – reminds us that we need only look to nature. To our dogs. To the examples of quiet purpose and joyful exuberance right in front of us.

It appears our canine sidekicks have been moonlighting as furry philosophers this year. If we take a moment to listen, dogs will offer up advice – sometimes sage and sometimes silly, but always worth hearing.
Read on as the profound pups of the Ruffwear pack shed some light (and undoubtedly some fur) on navigating life these days.

RESOLUTION: BE MORE LIKE MY DOG
“Looking back, we learned a lot from our dogs in 2020. They''ve proven themselves wise in the ways of life, so as we look ahead to 2021, I''ve come to the conclusion that my New Year''s Resolution this year is to be more like my dog.”
Krissy Moehl is a trail runner, vanlife-er, and self-professed clean freak. Add her mud-loving trail partner, PD, into the mix, and the stage is set for learning a thing or two about embracing trail grime and managing the aftermath.
“The peace of mind and joy a trail run brings to life… dodging and splashing through puddles while weaving the rooty trails of the PNW, will always outweigh any clean up woes after."
