Vision und Realization
Why Ruffwear?
A brand that combines adventure and responsibility
Since 1994, Ruffwear has been dedicated to creating dog gear that meets the demands of outdoor adventure. From harnesses to leashes to booties, each product is designed to meet the highest standards of durability, comfort and sustainability. Ruffwear is not only about providing the best equipment possible, but also about protecting our planet.
Ruffwear's founder, Patrick Kruse, was an avid outdoorsman himself and realized that dogs needed special equipment to enjoy their adventures safely and comfortably. Since then, Ruffwear has revolutionized the industry by offering a wide range of products to keep your dog as well equipped as you are.
