How to Fit & Adjust the Ruffwear Approach Backpack
Merchant Video-
How much weight can my dog carry in a dog pack?
It's best to keep the total carrying weight (including the pack and its contents) under 25% of your dog's body weight. First-time backpackers may want to go even lighter. And, as always, it's a great idea to check in with your vet.
-
What do you put in a dog saddle bag?
Some things you'll find in our dogs' packs for a day hike include a travel dog bowl, treats, water, pick-up bags, and dog boots. You may fit more or less depending on the size of the pack and how long you plan to be out.
-
What activities should I use a dog pack for?
Use a dog pack for hiking, camping, & backpacking. It allows your pup to comfortably carry their share of essentials—like food, water, and waste bags—on both long treks and everyday adventures.
-
How do I choose the right pack for my dog?
Choose a day pack for hikes and a larger pack for multi-day trips. Trail runners should use streamlined packs. Never exceed 25% of your dog's body weight. Start light and gradually increase the weight as your dog adjusts.
