Ruffwear Dog Gear

Ruffwear is a premier brand dedicated to the design and performance of outdoor dog gear. Founded by Patrick Kruse, the brand was born out of a passion for exploring the outdoors with canine companions. It first gained significant attention with the introduction of the 'Quencher' collapsible food and water bowl, which revolutionized how dog owners pack for adventures.

Today, the brand's product development is centered in Bend, Oregon, where the rugged environment serves as the ultimate testing ground for its products. While the design and conceptual work happen in the United States, manufacturing is carried out through a network of specialized partners in several countries, predominantly across Asia, to ensure high technical standards for durability and safety.

Ruffwear remains an independent, founder-led company. Unlike many outdoor brands that have been acquired by large conglomerates, Ruffwear has maintained its private ownership, allowing it to stay focused on its core mission of inspiring outdoor adventures for dogs and their human companions while prioritizing environmental and social responsibility.
