Nearly 75 Years Strong: The History Of Ray Allen Manufacturing

Ray Allen Manufacturing has been around since 1948 - nearly 75 years! From the early days of a one man leatherworker who designed and handmade custom saddles and equine gear for the local cavalry, to finding his way selling dog leashes and collars for $1 a pop. Or his early designs of a K9 bite suit, requested by the local military, for $99 (back in the 1950's). Built out of necessity, with quality always a foregone conclusion, Ray Allen built a brand with his bare hands.

Little did he know that his hard work and dedication would become what it is today - an industry leader, with a wide range of the world’s highest-quality K9 gear, making a difference in all parts of the world.

Watch the video below, and learn a little about Ray Allen’s humble beginnings in a little cowboy shop on Tejon Street in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
