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.

Talon Clip™ | A Living Legacy

Our pioneering clip has evolved since 2011 to meet dogs’ and their humans’ needs. Made from forged anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, the wide opening and one-handed operation mean seamless clip-ins for an unbeatable ease of use.

Ruffwear Carabiner | The Titan of Clips

Rock-solid and secure, the Carabiner needs no other name. This tri-action swiveling clip pairs with our rope core leashes for the strongest connection with your canine. Its custom auto-locking hardware never seizes up like traditional carabiners, while the smooth gate makes clipping in easy.

Talon Buckle™ | Strength in Connection

The Top Rope™ Collar pairs with our Talon Buckle™, our strongest collar hardware. This all-metal buckle provides ballast to keep the V-ring at the top of the dog’s neck for easy clip-in, while both dual-release triggers must be engaged to unclip the buckle, creating an unwavering connection.
