Approach™ Dog Backpack

full-day hiking

Color

Selected: Orange Poppy

The Approach Pack is an everyday dog pack with excellent performance, fit, and functionality. It provides dogs with the ability to efficiently carry a load, generating instant four-legged motivation to explore. The integrated harness enhances fit, pack stability, and overall performance. Radial cut saddlebags create a passive compression system that is form fitting and better load carrying.

Combined with the lightweight materials and a streamlined design, the Approach backpack is comfortable and allows dogs to carry trail necessities on day hikes and light overnight adventures with their humans.

A good rule of thumb for how much dogs can carry in their packs is no more than 25% of their bodyweight. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and slowly work up to a heavier load as they get used to wearing the pack.

    Perfect Basic Pack

    This pack works great for shorter excursions where you need to bring water, snacks, dishes, and the like for your dog, as well as a few personal items. The materials are sturdy and the pack is well designed.

    We like the Palisades pack for actual hikes (8 - 15 miles) due to the extra pockets & pouches, but this one works great short trips out & about. Kairo works as a hearing service dog, and the Approach pack has plenty of room for his necessities as well as they tools & supplies I need for work.
