The New Alpacka Raft Manufacturing Staff Lineup
Bringing the Alpacka Raft Dog Pack to the forefront of the manufacturing process.
Dogs (...and cats, but mostly dogs because they are easier to bring to work) have been an integral to the Alpacka Raft team from the start. They are on our calendars, with us on the water, and alongside us at the shop. Sadly, we have failed to include them in the design and manufacturing process...until now.

Pet Hair:
With the new additions to our team, we must apologize in advance if there happens to be a little dog hair in with the orders. We are still working on the process to decrease shedding while making sure the Alpacka Dog Pack is highly "treated" and very happy while helping to make our products.
Pet Pampering Statement:
No pets were harmed in the making of this blog post and during this photo shoot. None of the machines were running during the making of this blog post. All of our pets are extremely loved and very spoiled. Many treats and so many pets and hugs were provided during the making of this post.
Talented Team of Makers:
All Alpacka Raft packrafts are handmade by a VERY talented group of makers, here in our Mancos, CO shop. Many of these makers are amazing artists, designers and creatives that have side projects. Love the puppy bandanas you are seeing in some of these photos? It's a side project. Check out Hazel Hankys.
Behind the Scenes:
A special thank you to the one that repairs your boats. Thanks for putting this together.
