Ruff Buddy

Ruff Buddy creates premium climbing rope dog leashes with secure screw gate carabiner hooks. We design the leashes right here in the Inner West of Sydney, Australia. Let Ruff Buddy dog leashes make your fur friend happy on your walks!

The Ruff Buddy family is based in Sydney’s Inner West. We spend our time enjoying the sights, sounds, and people in our local parks around Erskineville, Newtown and Alexandria. For a bit of adventure we hit up the beaches, campsites, and national parks dotted around NSW and beyond.

We are a tight-knit group of friends that includes an author, teacher, and graphic designer. Brought together by our common interests in doggies and creating fun products, we are in it for the experience and thrill of seeing people and fur-friends enjoying our leashes.

Even the hardy among us need some TLC sometimes, and dog leashes are no different.

Rest assured that our leashes are made with premium materials, built to withstand rough (ruff?!) treatment by all dogs, from big dawgs to tearaway terriers. Here are our tips to help ensure your doggy can enjoy our products for even longer.

LEASH CARE

To clean your leash’s rope, first remove the carabiner, then place the rope into a pillowcase and machine wash on a cold gentle cycle. Follow up by line drying, and you are good to go!

Things to avoid: Using the leash for anything other than as your dog’s walking leash. Washing with fabric softener. Also excessive exposure to sand and sea water. It is best to give a quick wash after a trip to the beach.

CARABINER CARE

To clean your carabiner of any mud or sand, hand rinse in warm water. Oil if necessary. Then leave to dry.

Things to avoid: Any usage other than as part of walking dog. Machine washing and detergents, as well as sea water.
