Ruffwear, the leading manufacturer of performance dog gear built to enhance and inspire exploration for outdoor adventurers and their human companions, is excited to launch three new collections for Spring/Summer 2021. The Trailhead, Front Range, and Water Collections offer practical and playful gear for making the most of the warmer months ahead.
“Whether your dog is your road trip co-pilot, backcountry explorer, or work-from-home assistant, our new Spring and Summer collections are designed with outdoor-loving dogs and humans in mind,” says Ruffwear Director of Marketing, Susan Strible. “Inspired by patterns and hues found in some of our favorite landscapes, Ruffwear’s latest gear celebrates the excitement that comes with a new season of exploration.”
SPRING/SUMMER 2020
For Spring/Summer 2021, Ruffwear is taking a deeper look at the role dogs play in getting us outside – and helping us find our way – as we navigate life’s journey. Whether it’s searching for a place of belonging in the outdoors, learning a new activity alongside our furry best friend, or simply getting our feet underneath us, our dogs add lightness, joy, and connection to whatever we’re experiencing. They’re our constant companions.
