Hardware Innovation at Ruffwear

We’re fueled by the desire to create a better connection between dogs and their humans — in their choice of gear and their personal bond. Since our beginnings, we’ve aimed to create stronger, lighter, and more secure choices than what was on the shelves, and we've never looked back.

Forging the Path

It’s not just what we do. It’s why we do it. All of Ruffwear’s custom aluminum hardware is extruded and drop-forged, rather than cast. This allows us to control every aspect of the build process from temperature to cleanliness, eliminating weaknesses to create stronger, more trusted gear. It’s the same high standards used to craft climbing equipment, resulting in a durable product that’s built to last.
