Ruffwear is in this catalogue at the third mark, and it belongs here.
It is an American company — Bend, Oregon since 1998, designing, developing and testing its packs and harnesses there. It manufactures in Vietnam, China and Taiwan, it says so on its own help centre under a heading that asks the question outright, and it explains why: the construction techniques its gear needs are concentrated in Asia, and so are the materials.
That is what the third mark is for. It is not a demotion and it is not an accusation. A brand that answers “where is this made” with the actual answer is doing something most of the catalogue does not, and it is worth more to a shopper than a page of flag imagery over an unstated supply chain.
If you want an American-made dog harness, Ruffwear is not it, and Ruffwear will tell you so before we do. If you want to know what you are buying, that candour is the whole point.
