Approach Dog Pack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Approach Pack is the one I put on my dog for anything longer than a day hike. The weight-forward saddlebags keep the load from swaying around and the five-point adjustable fit means no rubbing or shifting even on longer miles. It's held up through a full season of trail days without any issues."

The dog is coming and the dog needs gear. The Ruffwear Approach Dog Pack solves that equation cleanly, giving four-legged hiking partners their own kit to carry so collapsible bowls, kibble, treats, and trail essentials don't have to compete for space in a human pack. It's a practical setup that keeps the whole crew moving efficiently from trailhead to camp.

Weight-forward saddlebags position the load close to the shoulder blades to prevent side-to-side sway on uneven terrain, keeping dogs balanced and comfortable through long miles. A five-point adjustable harness dials in the fit across a wide range of breeds and builds, eliminating chafing points before they become a problem on a full day out. A padded handle and girth straps make it easy to lift dogs over obstacles, dual leash attachments keep the lead secure on technical sections, and reflective trim holds visibility as the light fades at the end of a long trail day. Available in four sizes to cover dogs from 17 inches of girth up to 42 inches, the Approach Pack is a trail-ready solution for dogs who pull their own weight.
