Kurgo Journey Air Harness

The Kurgo Journey Air harness is a lightweight ( 8 oz/ 226 gm) dog harness designed for outdoor dogs who like to hike and snowshoe, romping through woods and streams. According to Kurgo, the Air Journey is an upgrade form their Journey harness; this newer version has more padding, and is made lighter by the use of aluminum hardware. We have been testing this harness on Edgar, our 55 lb. lab mutt , who is an active, tough, serpentine hiking, pucker-brush plowing, often hard pulling adventure dog… Full review

Ruffwear Kibble Kaddie

The Ruffwear Kibble Kaddie is a waterproof, durable, and convenient way to carry your dog's kibble while traveling or camping. We have used it for winter hut camping, canoe camping, and car camping. I can recommend this bag to those looking for a way to securely transport their dog's kibble, keeping it dry and fresh. With our two active adventure dogs, my husband and I are frequently traveling for car camping, pop-up trailer camping, winter hut camping, and back-country canoe camping. These trips… Full review

Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse Harness Jacket

The Ruffwear Overcoat Fuse harness jacket is a unique item in the world of dog gear—a single jacket-harness combination, providing thick and warm protection from moderately cold weather, with integrated secure attachments for a leash or trekking line. During our frequent cold weather snowshoeing outings, our dogs are used to wearing jackets beneath their various harnesses, for thermal, wind, and snow protection. They are always on trekking lines that attached us at one end, and to their harnesses… Full review

Ruffwear Palisades Pack

In over 45 years of backpacking with my dogs this is the best dog pack yet. It fits well with plenty of adjustment and is comfortable for the dog to wear on extended trips over various terrains. It has six compartments and is expandable for bulky loads as well as being compressible on tighter trail conditions. Comes with two, 1-liter hydration bladders and can hold enough food, water, and doggy gear for longer trips. This is my second pack from Ruffwear. The first was their smaller Approach dog… Full review

RC Pets West Coast Rain Wear

For a dog that doesn't conform to "normal" sizes/proportions, this coat does the trick. This coat offers adjustability for a small dog with a huge rib cage. It's hard to find a coat that fits this dog! I use this as a winter coat for my short-haired warm weather loving pup. I do not use it as a rain coat. Ease of Use & Features:  This is a straightforward coat. It attaches itself using two large Velcro straps and has a small zippered opening at the base of the neck so a leash can be attached… Full review

Ruffwear Web Master Harness

Great harness for active dogs! I will purchase again, if it ever wears out. Ease of Use: This harness is a little clumsy to put on and take off (if your dog doesn't love having gear slipped over its head it may not be excited about putting the harness on), but its excellent performance outweighs that minor inconvenience.  Features: The best thing about this harness for my dogs is the five points of adjustment—I can really make the harness fit their bodies so there is no slipping and ensure that… Full review
