Doggie sleeping bag: Outdoor gear item for Sept. 26

Doggie sleeping bag

THE SITUATION: Fall is a great time to camp, especially for dogs. Bugs are dying out, the air is crisp and the weather is cool. But cooler days can mean cold nights, so if you don’t want Fido curling up in your sleeping bag, get him his own.

A SOLUTION: Ruffwear’s Highlands sleeping bag is a lightweight, compressible option made with synthetic insulation to keep your pup warm and cozy. Its polyester shell is water resistant and easily cleanable (perfect for dirty paws), and is machine washable.

THE DETAILS: Its design is made for dogs in mind, with a side zipper that allows the bag to both lie flat and zip closed. An integrated sleeve is large enough to accept a bed, and four loops on the bag’s exterior allow it to be staked to the ground for security. It is available in one size. The interior is green and exterior is gray.

PRICE: $99.95.

AVAILABILITY: To purchase or find a list of retailers, visit ruffwear.com.
