K-9 Float Coat Photo Contest Winner

noreply@blogger.com (Backcountry K-9) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:24:00 +0000

It was nearly impossible to pick just one winner out of all the great entries we received! We narrowed it down to 8 based on the ones we liked best and some of the crowd favorites but in the end we picked Rona!

We couldn’t pass up that “Nom Nom” look as she chews on the stick she retrieved. Being a tri-paw we hope Rona will get some good use out of her new Ruff Wear K-9 Float Coat.

Thanks to everyone who sent in photos; so many great entries!

Highlights of the new Spring Ruff Wear Gear

noreply@blogger.com (Backcountry K-9) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 01:21:00 +0000

Here are some highlights of the new Ruff Wear Spring Gear introduced earlier this month.

The Ruff Wear K-9 Float Coat is made for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and for all activities. Designed for safety and fun, the K-9 Float Coat holds your dog in a natural swimming position. The low-profile handle is positioned to help dogs out of water. The neck closure is adjustable but permanently attached. Sheltered buckles can be clipped with one hand and reflective trim enhances visibility out of the water.

The Ruff Wear Web Master is a great update on the previous version. It’s hard to make a good thing better but the new Web Master is much lighter (20% lighter based on Medium), it’s materials are more durable, the buckles are sheltered for safety and one-handed operation, and the leash attachment is reinforced.

Like the Web Master, the new Palisades improves on an already great pack. Also like the new Web Master, the updated Palisades is noticeably lighter (25% based on Medium). It’s materials are also more durable, the hydration system has been simplified, the pack has new stash pockets for quick access, and the zipper pulls are color keyed to help you stay organized.

Finally, the Ruff Wear Headwater Collar is a waterproof and stink proof collar for all of your adventures. An anodized 1-piece aluminum V-ring provides a secure leash attachment point, the reflective pattern keeps the collar (and your dog) highly visible, and it comes with a silicone tag silencer.
