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 K-9 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

Ruffwear Hi & Light Harness

The Ruffwear Hi and Light Harness is a durable, lightweight harness that has been a fantastic fit for our active Vizsla, Roland. It allows for unrestricted movement and after months of regular use shows no obvious signs of wear. Testing Conditions: Our 8-year-old Vizsla, Roland, tested the Ruffwear Hi and Light Harness from late May through September of 2018 in northern New Hampshire. Roland wore the harness trail running, hiking, and running alongside my husband, Jim, and I while we mountain biked. Full review

Kurgo Mud Dog Travel Shower

A rubber shower head for standard thread bottles, meant for dogs but works great for dog owners too! Backpacking in hot weather is great if your day ends at a lake or river deep enough for a rinse-off before bedtime, otherwise you may be in for a sticky, grimy night. And in cooler weather it can be nice to get clean as well, but full immersion or a cold splash bath may not be entirely pleasant. This little doggie shower works just as well for humans, and offers a way to wash up in less than ideal… Full review

Ruffwear Highlands Sleeping Bag

(Disclosure: This sleeping bag system for dogs was provided to me while I was an ambassador for Backcountry K9. That blog site no longer sells gear, and I am no longer an ambassador.) Do check out the backcountryk9 blog for informative articles and reviews! Recently, Hurrta has joined Alcott and Ruffwear as dog gear manufacturers offering dog-specific sleeping bags. We really like this Ruffwear bag, though it is a bit small for our larger dogs. We have used it for two full camping seasons. This… Full review

Durango Dog Company Roving Watering Bowl

Multi-purpose dog bowl! Holds everything I need for a short walk or long hike with my dog! Very comfortable cross-strap makes it the ideal go-to by itself, or I can attach it to a pack for longer day or overnight hikes. Both my husband and I have used it and it works well because the strap is adjustable to accommodate different statures. It doesn't bounce against my hip or body and I really don't notice that I'm wearing it. Product seems very durable and well-made. The snap and zipper have held… Full review

Durango Dog Company Roving Watering Bowl

We purchased our Roving Watering Bowl and ABSOLUTELY love it. It is well made and allows me to carry all the essentials: waste bags, car keys, treats AND it converts into its own water bowl. We love our Durango Roving Watering Bowl. Not only is it well made, it has two pockets that I can use for my cell phone and another for poop bags. I especially like that it has a 28 ounce dog/human waterbottle. When the pouch is not holding the bottle it can be opened up and converted into a waterbowl which… Full review

Ruffwear Approach Pack
