The proverb "Every dog has its day" recently came true for On National Dog Day, Timberdog announced that their following the announcement the company's outdoor ultimate travel dog bed, RuffRest,  received an exemplary R-value rating of 7.5 after rigorous testing from HAAG Global.

The R-value is a lab-conducted study to determine thermal and insulation values. For Timberdog, Simply put, it's a measurement of how well the insulation in their flagship dog bed retains its warmth and protects the dogs from the cold ground.

"Seasoned travelers and nature lovers know that temperatures can drop suddenly and unexpectedly when outdoors. This is why they take pains to ensure their sleeping bags, tents and outdoor wear have high R-values," said Leena Chitnis, founder and CEO of Timberdog.

"Here at Timberdog, we want to make sure our canine companions are protected, as well. As far as we know, no other pet companies thus far are investing in checking testing the R-value of their products. But I stand behind RuffRest in every way and accept the risk of having a third party tear my dog bed apart to tell me what I already know. I am proud to share this information with our customers."

RuffRest is the first dog bed to undergo the testing from certified engineers from the American Society of testing and materials. To provide context, the R value for a human sleeping bag generally ranges from 1 to 7. The rating of 7.5 means that while outdoors or camping, the bed provides a warm haven even if temperatures drop below freezing.

The RuffRest Ultimate Dog Bed R-value of 7.5 was tested by several ASTM-certified engineers in a battery of exams. A 7.5 R-value is considered exemplary.
