The Best Gifts for Your Trail Running Dog

‘Tis the season for giving the gift of Ruffwear.

In between merrymaking, snow, and good cheer, the holidays are indeed the most wonderful time of the year. But adding your trail running doggo to the gift giving mix can make any season special.

Give the Gift of Ruffwear

By bringing so much love to our lives, dogs earn their keep. Why wouldn’t you give a gift (or two) to your favorite furry companion to show them how much you care?

Hit paws on your human shopping and prioritize your favorite canine. Ruffwear has the perfect gift for your four-legged running bestie, with tons of styles, toys, apparel, and accessories for every manner of dog.

Flagline Dog Harness with Handle

Sometimes your dog needs a boost when you’re on an adventurous trail run. That’s why Ruffwear designed the Flagline Dog Harness with a helpful handle for hoisting your beast up steep inclines and tricky spots. Solid, durable construction and a tough lift-to-assist design means that you can give them the support they need without putting the pinch on your furry companion.

Front Range Day Pack

Unless your pup’s an influencer, they’re probably not getting a job. But that doesn’t mean they can’t carry their own weight from time to time! Let them help carry the load with Ruffwear’s Front Range Day Pack. Multiple attachment options, a form-fitting design, and plenty of storage space means that your dog can be more self-sufficient out on the trail.

Vert Dog Jacket

Your dog’s a four-season beast — so wouldn’t it be nice to give them a little insulation for those cold winter runs? The Vert Dog Jacket combines cozy warmth with plush design and comfort. A waterproof shell resists light precipitation and a high-loft insulation brings tons of warmth to keep your companion going for miles of snowy adventures.

Grip Trex Dog Boots

Despite millennia of evolution and survival of the fittest, your doggo has a soft side. That’s why Ruffwear’s Grip Trex Dog Boots add extra protection to your pup’s paws. With Vibram rubber outsoles, a breathable upper, and a secure hook-and-loop closure, the Grip Trex Dog Boots provide the support and protection they need to keep enjoying the miles on the trail, pavement, and snow.

Gnawt-a-Rock Treat Dispensing Toy

Working for rewards is half the fun. That’s why the Gnawt-a-Rock treat dispensing toy adds a bit of anticipation and play to your dog’s treat sessions. A durable, chew-proof construction and small kibble/treat dispensing notches extend your dog’s reward cycle and makes them an active participant in the feasts and fun.

Knot-a-Hitch Campsite Dog Tether

It’s easy at the campsite for your pup to get excited. And with so many neighbors to greet, there’s bound to be mischief afoot. The Knot-a-Hitch campsite dog tether lets you stake your spot and give your dog a wide berth — but not so wide as to disturb other campers. It uses climbing-inspired components and hardware that are easy to use and convenient to stow.

Highlands Dog Sleeping Bag and Pad

Making your dog sleep on the ground is pretty cold. That’s why Ruffwear designed the Highlands Dog Sleeping Bag and Highlands Dog Pad — to give your lovable best friend a warm and cozy setup when you’re on the trail or at camp. The bag is lightweight and synthetic, so it’ll retain heat even when damp. For an extra layer of warmth, throw the pad into the mix to keep your furry friend cozy on those cold outdoor adventures.

Float Coat Dog Life Jacket

One of the joys of having a dog is taking them on the river or to the lake. Ruffwear’s Float Coat Dog Life Jacket provides your pup with extra flotation and reflective strips for visibility in low-light conditions. A lift-and-assist handle makes it easy to help your dog in and out of the water or boat, and strategically placed foam panels help support your pup’s natural swimming position so they can doggy paddle to their heart’s content.
