The distinction is one of many kudos from reviewers from The New York Times, Wirecutter, Men’s Journal, Startup Pill, Rover, Gear Junkie, Field & Stream, and We Rate Dogs. Last year, Field & Stream named RuffRest Travel Dog Bed of the Year, the release states.

Originally from California, Chitnis, and her dog, Kashi, now call Mesa their home.

“I live in northeast Mesa, but when the weather is too hot to play outside, Kashi, my neighbors and I love to get away to Payson, Show Low, Prescott, Flagstaff and Pinetop,” Chitnis said in the release. “RuffRest helps us keep our dogs warm, rested, organized and comfortable. I personally created this so I wouldn’t have to lug all my dog’s things piecemeal. RuffRest makes packing for Kashi a breeze.”
