Ruffwear

Ruffwear offers a wide range of products designed for a variety of activities you can do with your dog. Whether you like hiking, jogging, swimming or just going for a walk – Ruffwear has the right equipment. The most popular products include robust dog harnesses, comfortable collars, protective life jackets and practical dog beds. Each product is designed to keep your dog comfortable and safe.

The main features of Ruffwear products are their high quality, careful workmanship and well-thought-out functionality. Unlike many other brands, Ruffwear products are characterised by particularly durable materials that are both weatherproof and long-lasting. They are also ergonomically designed so as not to restrict your dog's freedom of movement. Many products have reflective elements for better visibility in the dark and are available in a range of colours.

To choose the right size of dog harness or collar for your dog, you should measure the circumference of your dog's neck or chest. The measurement should be neither too tight nor too loose. We provide a detailed size chart on the relevant product page to help you find the right size.

You can purchase our products directly from our website. We also offer special promotions and discounts in our newsletter, especially during seasonal sales events or holidays. It's also worth regularly checking out our sale, where you can find discounts of up to 50% on individual Ruffwear products.

If your dog is exactly between two sizes, the choice of the right size actually depends on the particular model. For the Front Range, Hi & Light and Flagline Harness, you should choose the larger size. These models are cut narrower and shorter. This allows for more room and comfort for your dog. However, if you are considering a Web Master Harness, it is better to choose the smaller size. These harnesses are designed to be more generous and allow for better control. Make sure you try on the harness well and make sure that it is not too tight and allows your dog enough freedom of movement. This way you can ensure that your four-legged friend is comfortable and optimally equipped!

If you measured correctly but the dog harness is still too small, you don't necessarily have to return it. There are almost always ways to adjust it! First check the straps and the neck opening. The straps are stowed inside the dog harness and can be pulled out to get the maximum out of them. Also, check out the fitting instructions for our size determination. Sometimes all it takes to get the perfect fit is a small adjustment. Try out all the adjustment options – maybe you can keep the dog harness after all!

Yes, it is suitable for almost all dogs, provided that it is chosen in the right size and fit. It is important that the vest fits well so that your dog has optimal comfort and safety while swimming. A big advantage of this dog life jacket is that it supports your dog's natural buoyancy. This means that he tires less quickly and can stay active in the water longer. To determine the correct size, you should measure your dog's chest circumference. If your dog is between two sizes, Ruffwear recommends choosing the smaller size. This will ensure that the vest fits snugly enough and does not slip.

Yes, your dog can easily wear the cooling vest in combination with a dog harness. The Swamp Cooler vest is designed to fit over any dog harness without any discomfort. It has a generous opening for the leash. This way, your dog will not only stay cool, but also comfortable while on the go.

If you have a three-legged dog, there are great ways to make life easier for him and support his mobility. We particularly recommend the Web Master Harness and the Flagline Harness. Both of these harnesses not only provide an additional belly strap, but also a handy handle that you can use to help your dog overcome obstacles. These harnesses are designed to fit securely and stay put.

Ruffwear places a high value on the quality and sustainability of its products. The materials used for Ruffwear equipment are not only durable and functional, but many are also environmentally friendly. Many of the materials are certified according to the bluesign® standard. This means that they are manufactured in accordance with strict environmental and safety standards. The bluesign® system ensures that fewer resources are used and fewer pollutants are released into the environment during the manufacturing process. This not only protects the environment, but also safeguards the health of humans and animals. In addition, Ruffwear is actively committed to sustainability and is continuously working to make its products more environmentally friendly.

To extend the lifespan of your Ruffwear gear, it is important to clean and care for it regularly. You should rinse off dirt and mud after every adventure. For tougher stains, you can hand wash the products with a mild detergent and cold water.

Yes, many Ruffwear products are machine washable! You can simply put them in a laundry bag to protect them from tangling. Make sure to use cold water and a gentle detergent. After washing, let the gear air dry – avoid direct sunlight or the dryer, as this could damage the material. With these simple care instructions, you can ensure that your Ruffwear products last a long time and are always ready for new adventures!
