Go-to Dog Gear for Rainy Days
Have you ever planned an epic adventure with your pup only to wake up and see rain out your window? You might feel a little disappointed at first, but a gray, rainy day shouldn’t mean you have to stay inside. In other words, don’t let rain put a damper on your adventures. If you have the right gear, the show can go on.
Here are six pieces of gear to have at the ready if there’s rain in the forecast.
Rainy Day Dog Gear
1. Sun Shower™ Raincoat
A solid dog raincoat is an essential piece of gear for any dog-human duo that loves to explore outside. The Sun Shower™ Raincoat is designed to keep your pup dry and comfortable, no matter what the weather throws your way. The waterproof and windproof construction provides maximum protection from the elements, while the oversized storm collar and leg loops offer added security in windy weather. The reflective accents ensure your pup is easily seen in low-light conditions, and the relaxed fit with side-release buckles makes it easy to put on and take off. Whether you're hiking, running, or exploring the backcountry, the Sun Shower™ Raincoat is the perfect way to keep your trail buddy dry and happy.
If you want even more coverage, opt for the Sun Shower™ Coverall. This option also offers a waterproof and windproof shell, but has a full-coverage design to minimize messes after adventures in wet and muddy conditions. The articulated stretch StormSleeves™ allow for freedom of movement and the micro-adjustable fit ensures a solid seal.
2. Confluence™ Collar
The Confluence™ Collar is the perfect accessory for pups who love a good soak in the rain. Its waterproof and stink-proof design ensures your canine companion stays clean and odor-free, even after the messiest adventures. The coated webbing repels water and dirt, while the easy-adjusting cam buckles make it comfortable to wear all day long. Plus, with reflective screen printing and a secure leash attachment point, you can confidently take your adventure buddy wherever you please, rain or shine.
3. Summit Trex™ Dog Shoes
Wet, dirty paws are probably not your dog's preference — or your own for that matter. Our Summit Trex™ Dog Shoes offer a reliable solution to keep your canine’s paws clean and protected. The weather-resistant polyester ripstop upper shields paws from moisture and debris, while the non-marking outsole provides excellent traction on slippery surfaces. With upgraded cuff closures and a secure hook-and-loop cinch closure, these shoes stay put, ensuring your dog's paws remain protected throughout your rainy-day adventures. Pair them with the Bark’n Boot™ Dog Socks for an even more comfortable and secure fit.
4. Dirtbag™ Dog Towel
The Dirtbag™ Dog Towel is a game-changer for wet and muddy adventures. Its two-sided design effectively absorbs moisture, mud, and dirt, keeping your dog clean and dry. The quick-dry microfiber lining ensures rapid drying, while the waterproof shell prevents messes from spreading. After a muddy or wet adventure, simply use the Dirtbag™ Dog Towel to clean your dog and protect your car or home from the remnants of the day.
5. Dirtbag™ Dog Seat Cover
It’s the go-to partner in grime for the Dirtbag™ Dog Towel and it’s your ultimate defense against muddy paws and wet fur in your car. The Dirtbag™ Seat Cover is a durable, waterproof cover that protects your vehicle seats after exploring in wet or muddy conditions. The convertible design makes it easy to install in both bench and hammock configurations, while the secure attachments ensure it stays in place during the ride. The mesh window provides ventilation and visibility for your dog in hammock mode and the durable, soft-touch fabric ensures they’re comfy for the journey ahead.
6. The Beacon™ Safety Light
Anyone who’s ventured out into the rain knows it can mean lower visibility. The Beacon™ Safety Light is an essential rainy day accessory with its durable and waterproof construction. The easy-to-use Quick Clip™ attachment makes it simple to secure to your dog's Ruffwear gear, and the rechargeable battery provides long-lasting illumination. With three LED color options and three light modes, you can customize the visibility of your dog to suit the specific conditions. The bright, full-body glow design ensures your canine companion is easily seen by cars and other pedestrians, even in pouring rain or foggy conditions.
So there you have it — gear to get you out there no matter what the weather throws your way. What rainy adventure will you tackle next?
