Ruffwear Approach Pack II

This is a well made piece of equipment but VERY STIFF. Additionally, I am having a lot of trouble fitting it to my dog. The measurements do not seem to coordinate with those posted in the description. I am not going to return it but I will have to rework the straps to fit. This will involve cutting and restitching with an industrial sewing machine that , thankfully, I own.

This works great for my coon hound who has a large chest but gets very thin. He gets excited every time we bring it out. He weighs 60-65 lbs and the medium is almost to big, he could fit in a small which is cheaper however, the pockets are smaller as well.It fits plenty of water and treats for both of us. It never seems to bother him, leave rub marks or effect his freedom of movement. I love this pack and so does my dog I recommend this to anyone who hikes frequently with their K9 companion or is looking for a way to burn their excess energy a little faster.

Not only do I love this pack, but my dog does too! It adjusts and tightens to be very fitting and doesn't get lopsided like our old pack. It's a simple design - two zipping pockets, comfortable straps, a loop to grab, and somewhere to clip a leash. I looked at other, more "complicated" packs (i.e. with hydration systems) - but I love the simplicity of this one. I would highly recommend it!

I got this for my greyhound and he loves it, I think it reminds him of the racing silks. The medium fits him like a glove and is very adjustable. We haven't made any trips with it yet but it seems to be very well made and is well padded so hopefully it won't make any hot spots. His tail started wagging as soon as he got it on, I can't wait to take a trip and see how it does on the trail.

This Harness/Pack is great, very easy to put on and comfortable for the dog. Just make sure that you get the front part right over the shoulders so the pack doesn't lean right or left making it uncomfortable for the dog. It has two places to clip the leash, the one at the front is great if your dog is walking right by you, but if he starts to pull away or continues to want to go faster use the back clip. This clip gives you more leverage to stop the dog with out hurting him/her. The two side bags are great for water, food we also put a shammy towel in to wet down and put over the dog to help keep him cool. It was great not to have to pack all of that stuff myself and Zeppelin loved the pack and never fussed about it once.

As soon as my little buddy radar sees her pack come out she knows what's up and gets so excited. She knows it means we're going hiking or camping or something fun and healthy. I looked at alot of dog packs but this one is by far the most stable and made out of bomber materials just like people packs. Radar loves it, so will your little hiking buddy. Dogs bless America!!!
