Approach Dog Bag

The Ruffwear Approach dog backpack is the perfect pack for everyday use or even overnight trips and day hikes in the great outdoors. Made from high quality and durable material, the streamlined design allows your dog to carry small loads comfortably.

With five adjustment options, the fit can be individually adjusted, so the backpack offers a secure hold in any situation. The backpack gives your dog a new, exciting task: carrying small loads and necessities.

It is recommended that your dog carries no more than 25% of its own weight in a rucksack. To get your dog used to carrying the rucksack, you should start with very little weight at the beginning and then slowly increase - this way the dog gets used to carrying the rucksack quickly and easily.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Individually adjustable fit with five adjustment options for full freedom of movement
  • Two different attachment options: one-piece anodised aluminium V-ring and fabric loop
  • Padded handle and non-slip perimeter straps provide good load distribution for controlled and comfortable lifting
  • Details for hiking expeditions: Pockets for stowage and external gear eyelets
  • Radial cut saddlebag design with weight shifted forward creates passive compression that stabilises bag contents
  • Integrated reflectors
  • waterproof zips
  • additional external attachment loops

Determining the correct size

Measure your dog's chest circumference at the widest part of the ribcage.

Size:Chest circumference:Volume:
XS 43-56 cm 7 litres
S 56-69 cm 12,5 litres
M 69-81 cm 14,5 litres
L/XL 81-107 cm 24 litres

    RUFFWEAR
    Ruffwear founder Patrick Kruse is an outdoorsman. He grew up with dogs and has found them to be constant companions on his outdoor adventures. What has long been the standard for humans, he has been missing for his four-legged friends: functional and durable outdoor equipment.
    Since 1994, Ruffwear has therefore been dedicated to designing and producing equipment for human and animal outdoor athletes according to the motto "design for function".
