Ruffwear has signed a letter of intent to appoint Tatoo Adventure Gear as its exclusive distributor of its dog products in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru and appointed Carduz Comercio Exterior as its exclusive distributor of Ruffwear products in Brazil.


In business since 1993, Tatoo distributes leading outdoor brands and manages 15 retail shops in five South American countries. A passion for customer service, focus on high quality brands, and regional presence are the basis of their past and future success. Ruffwear dealers in South America will now enjoy local customer service and support delivered by a dedicated team of outdoor professionals. This partnership is aligned with Ruffwear’s vision of becoming the worldwide brand of choice in performance dog products.


“Tatoo’s regional presence, passion for the outdoors, and proven experience at growing outdoor brands, make them a great partner for Ruffwear. We are excited to work with Mauricio and his team to help local dealers achieve success with the Ruffwear brand, and give consumers access to Ruffwear products. We look forward to building a successful and enduring partnership between Ruffwear and Tatoo,” says Ruffwear Director of Sales, Dove Gibson.



In Brazil, Carduz Comercio Exterior has imported and marketed globally recognized brands in the health and wellness industry since 1991. Today, with countrywide sales coverage and a 2,000 m2 logistics facility in Santos, Carduz continues on its mission to improve Brazilians’ quality of life by encouraging physical activity and well-being.


“With more than two decades of experience growing leading health and wellness brands in Brazil, and a demonstrated passion for our products, Carduz is a great partner for Ruffwear in a new and very large market.  We are excited to work with Fabio and his team to launch Ruffwear in Brazil and look forward to building a successful and enduring partnership,” says Ruffwear Director of Sales, Dove Gibson.
