Ruffwear Highlands Dog Pad
Lower concern but buy with caution, Ruffwear doesn't disclose water-repellent coating chemistry.
The Highlands Dog Pad is a fabric pet bed with water-resistant treatment, a common area where PFAS durable water repellents (water-repellent coating) may be used. Ruffwear has not publicly disclosed whether their water-resistance treatment contains PFAS, Teflon-family coating, or PFCs.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
