Bend, Or, October 1, 2019 — Ruffwear, the industry leader in performance dog gear for outdoor adventure, is launching its Winter Product line today. With new apparel, harnesses, and toys, the pioneering brand continues to build off its 25 years of designing products from the dog’s perspective.

Fusing Ideas

“Our dogs are our constant companions. With the right gear, they can join us comfortably in our outdoor pursuits, allowing us to go farther and share more experiences together,” said Ruffwear Founder and R&D Director, Patrick Kruse. “This belief has been Ruffwear’s path of inspiration, discovery, and innovation from the beginning. All of our gear is designed to solve a problem or meet a need that will enhance humans’ and dogs’ outdoor endeavors together.”
