“This Fall/Winter season, we’re focused on the joyful connections that can come from playing outdoors with our dogs,” says Ruffwear Director of Marketing, Susan Strible. “Our pack put an emphasis on innovation, insulation, and versatility when creating these gear collections – including Ruffwear’s first dog jacket featuring natural fibers. We are excited to launch our fall and winter collections, both providing endless opportunities for play throughout the season.”
For Fall 2022, Ruffwear is taking a cue from our dogs and pressing play this season. Time to let go, let loose, and zoom outside the lines – to follow the scent of spontaneous curiosity and delight in the bliss that is playfulness unleashed. Play is fundamental to our relationship with our dogs, our world, and ourselves. It’s a form of exploration, and through it, we can discover new ways to communicate, connect, and create.
