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

We see him here sporting his Ruffwear Float Coat—a life vest for your four legged friends.   For Ruffwear founder Patrick Kruse, exploring the outdoors has always been a way of life; whether by foot, bike, flying machine, or boat.

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

Ruffwear Trail Runner Bowl

The Ruffwear Trail Runner Bowl is a compact bowl that fits in your pocket and gives your pup a way to stay hydrated during outings. So small, there is no excuse not to bring it. The Ruffwear Trail Runner Bowl is a great option for those looking to keep their active dogs happy and hydrated on outings. Roland tested this bowl during the summer, fall, and winter of 2018 and 2019 in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. During this time he joined me on hikes, mountain bike rides, and trips to the river. Full review

Stunt Puppy Puff Doggy

Now your best friend can have the same quality materials and workmanship that your insulated jacket has. Stunt Puppy Puff Doggy If your dog lives in your house or if their breed doesn’t grow an undercoat your pup will be miserable in the cold/wet. Consider the Puff Doggy to make your dog more comfy in the cold. There was no way the puppy we brought home this fall would be able to grow a proper winter coat of her own before the snow came so she needed some help staying warm this winter.  Testing… Full review

Stunt Puppy Sub Woofer

The Stunt Puppy Sub Woofer is a soft shell dog jacket intended for the active outdoor dog, providing wind and thermal protection in a breathable, water resistant well-fitting and non-restrictive design. Our two dogs tested the jacket and each seemed comfortable in it, and it provided protection in a very snowy and cold Vermont winter. The jacket is expensive, but if you want to provide high-quality technical gear for your adventure dog, I can recommend this jacket. Our K9 Testers: Our two adventure… Full review

Ruffwear Float Coat

If you are looking for a top-quality lifejacket for your canine buddy, this is it! Very sturdy, well constructed, and excellent fit/adjustment. Have already recommended to several friends. This is a great life jacket for dogs. Well made, sturdy, and durable. Have been on several day/weekend/week-long kayaking and canoe trips with my little Australian Cattle Dog Sheila over these past two summers, and it still looks like new. Easy to put on and take off, and has all the necessary adjustments for… Full review
