As your best friend, dogs love the outdoors and like to hit the trail alongside you, checking out the sights and sounds and wagging their tails all the way (well if they have one!). In any case, they love it just as much as we do. Making sure they have their gear as well as your own is important. Dogs love to feel needed and as if they are contributing too.
We recently came across some great outdoor gear for dogs from a company called Ruffwear. They have everything from leashes to rugged coats to packs for hiking. You can take your buddy with you everywhere and they’ll be comfortable too.
Patrick Kruse of Ruffwear explains how they check out the products with testing of fabrics and designs on the trail, while Stand Up Paddleboarding, skiing, and other outdoor adventures.
“Because we’re inspired by our outdoor pursuits– backpacking, skiing, river running, mountain biking – it’s natural for us to utilize fabrics, hardware, materials and construction processes that have been proven in the environment we live for and play in. Our dogs (as well as inspired individuals, just like you, with “professional” canine testers) put our products through the paces, providing valuable feedback that motivates and drives Ruffwear’s continuous product development.” ~ Patrick Kruse
It’s important for your dog to have well made and properly fitted gear when you take them out. Make sure they have a good time and are comfortable too! Have a great adventure!
