Ruffwear Approach™ Dog Backpack - Day Hiking & Overnight Pack

Roam further with the Ruffwear Approach™ Pack — a day hiking and light overnight dog backpack built for performance, fit, and functionality. Radial-cut saddlebags create a passive compression system for efficient load carrying, resting on an integrated harness with a breathable, perforated foam chassis for all-day comfort on the trail.

What’s New: More breathability with a perforated molded foam chassis, improved fade-resistance, updated flopper stopper system, and refined saddlebag volumes — all inspired by customer feedback.

• Radial cut, weight-forward saddlebags with flopper stoppers to minimize bounce
• Padded handle & girth straps for controlled, comfortable lifting over obstacles
• Vertical stash pocket for heavier items (food, water) stored close to dog’s center of gravity
• External gear loops for quick trail access
• Five points of adjustment for an optimal fit
• Two leash attachment points: aluminum V-ring & reinforced webbing loop
• Reflective trim for low-light visibility + light loop for The Beacon™
• Lightweight, streamlined design with breathable chassis

💡 Recommended load: no more than 25% of your dog’s body weight, including the pack. New to dog packs? Start light and build up gradually.
