Highlands™ Dog Pad

I got two of these for my labs, and they both curled up on them the first night. I like how they fold up pretty small. Should be good for camping.

We love to go on picnics so we bought this as a place where the pups can chill, away from the food and not on the dirt. Opened it up in the house just to see it and the dogs already claimed it so fast! They already love it and can't wait to put it to good use. It fit perfectly inside the haul bag without taking too much space.

I teach service-dog training lessons to veterans who struggle with a service-connected mental health disability. My own dog is the "demo-dog", "ambassador dog", and "teaching assistant". A 70 lb, female Giant Schnauzer. She is with me constantly. During lesson times, she's on her feet "demonstrating" for students.

Other times, she must lie and wait for me patiently, (sometimes for hours) while I do presenations and endure long meetings.

In her youth, she was one of those super tough dogs who preferred cold hard floors and bringing a pad along for her was pointless. She consistently refused to use comfy pad, so it was kinda pointless.

Now, she's getting close to 8 yrs old, and for the past year or so, has decided she no longer likes to lie for long periods on cold hard floors. She's also shown she's darn choosey about what she likes to lie on or not.

I've tried half a dozen different pads/mats/rugs for her over the last year.

Most of them area also too big & bulky for me to carry around with all of my other presentation equip.

This Ruffwear Highlands Dog Pad has solved all problems. Super lightweight and easy to carry for me.

The dog loves the surface and is clearly happy with this choice. The larger size of the two is perfect for a 70 lb dog (slender&fit) to stretch out comfortably on. Thank You Ruffwear !!
