GO HIKE & CAMP

Elena and her dog, Baya, share their priceless memories of hiking together and their top gear picks for camping with your dog.

Swimming in alpine lakes, trekking up mountain peaks, and don’t forget those tent cuddles – these are some of the priceless memories we gain from camping with our dogs. Hit the trails with your Highlands™ Dog Sleeping Bag and Quencher™ Packable Dog Bowl. Here are the gifts Ruffwear employees Elena & Baya gain from camping together – and their must-have gear for the journey!

The GO: "Backpacking with my dogs is one of our most favorite activities to do together – quiet time on the trails, soaking up sunshine, swims in alpine lakes and best of all, cuddles in the tent."

The GIFT: "Backpacking helps us get away from it all – the hectic pace and distractions of everyday life. It gives us the gift of peace. When cuddling in a warm tent or jumping into a brisk lake with my dogs, I feel a new level of closeness to them – and to nature."
