Let’s hear it for the dogs whose tails wag the moment the running shoes come out. From that first step out the door or from the trailhead, our dogs are motivators to get going and keep it going. And just like us, having the proper dog running gear will set them up for the best experience — whether you’re on pavement or trails.
Ruffwear is proud to craft durable, trusted dog running gear that doesn’t sacrifice comfort. Browse harnesses, boots, running belts, and even evaporative cooling gear that will help keep your companion going on longer runs or in warmer weather. Our running dog gear is designed from a dog’s perspective, so they can get after any adventure with ease.
