The Brush Guard is an 'add-on' for selected Ruffwear harnesses and packs. It protects the chest and belly from abrasion and it adds extra under-chest support when lifting and assisting dogs.
The Brush Guard is a protective pad that can be added to the:
- Ruffwear Web Master Harness
- Ruffwear Approach Pack,
- Ruffwear Palisades Pack or
- Ruffwear Singletrak Pack.
- Please note - it will NOT fit on the Front Range Harness, Flagline Harness, Switchbak Harness or Front Range Pack.
This is a popular attachment for Tri-Paw'd dogs.
It offers 3 purposes:
- Provides added chest & belly coverage to protect from abrasion and padding for pulling while still allowing full range of motion
- Adds additional support and padding when lifting or assisting animals
- Further stabilizes packs and harnesses.
Easy to attach to existing Ruffwear Harnesses & packs using hook-and-loop sleeve attachments (see the picture to the side). Nylon exterior fabric is resistant to foxtails, bindi's, snow and ice build-up.
Great for:
- Hiking and walking dogs - protects the chest and belly in rough or abrasive terrain and good for assisted lifts
- Tri-pawds (dogs with 3 legs) - for more comfortable, secure and padded lifts
- Aging dogs & Dogs Rehabilitating - that need assistance on lifts - distributes weight on their chests.
- Extra Warmth in snowy conditions.
