Sizing Graphic | |  | The Approach Pack was designed to be an every day pack with excellent performance, fit and functionality. RuffWear's Comfort-fit Web Master™ Harness frame ensures good structure, stability, and even load dispersion. The five-point adjustable fit accommodates dogs of all shapes and sizes. Great for a picnic in the park, a day hike, or a weekend camping trip! Use to offset your load or for training and exercise. The harness component was designed with your dog's comfort in mind. It it can be worn for long periods of time and the dog's natural motion is not restricted. The underside is made of a material that is non-chaffing, fur friendly and provides plenty of ventilation. Both belly and chest strap are covered with soft fleece and connect with quick release side buckles. No need to lift your dog's legs up and into the harness. Slides on over head and buckles underneath. A low profile fabric assistance handle is attached to help your dog climb in and out of vehicles or over obstructions. Leashes can be attached to the secure D-ring (located in the center of the harness) or the nylon towing eye (located at the back end). The D-ring can also be used to hold a safety light, such as The Beacon. The packs also feature a high-visibility reflective trim for added safety in low light conditions. The cargo compartments are very generous and include waterproof zippers to keep your gear dry. Heavy nylon construction is durable and long-lasting. Available in Glacial Blue and Lichen Green.

I was hesitant to spend the money on this pack because I really only wanted one for carrying small items around town (wallet, phone, hat, gloves, etc.), but after I did some research online I decided to go ahead and get it, and I'm so glad I did. The pack fits very well and doesn't slip around at all (even with a fairly loose girth strap), which seems to be a problem with many packs. It fits my dog comfortably and is pretty easy to get on and off. The pouches are very roomy--I got a small for a 50 lb. dog and they still hold plenty for my needs. One thing to consider in sizing: my dog's girth is about 27

These packs are everything they claim and more! I couldn't be more pleased with a doggy pack. It fits my dog perfectly, although it took me some time to get those 5 points of adjustment right; I can't take a pen apart and put it back together. But once those straps were just right this pack has an aerodynamic sort of fit that puts the weight of the pack toward my dog's shoulders and not in the middle of his back where it could cause him injury or pain.
And, this pack is very roomy! I have a service dog that needed a little more stimulus so we deliver mini candy bars to neighbors, the opposite of trick or treat! I put a filled water bottle in each pocket to slow him down a bit as he is high energy and there is still plenty of room for lots of candy!
I would definately recommend this pack. Without any hesitation.

I got this for my 1 year old miniature schnoodle. We've been out with it daily for a couple of weeks now and he loves it. I put two half full bottles of water in it plus poop bags and some kibble & clicker if we plan on a bit of training while we're out. Once the snow melts I hope to take him on some local trails around.
The x-small size fits him fine around the chest (he's 18"), but at tightest is a touch loose in the back (my dog has a narrow waist). Not a big deal, since the pack stays put fine and he doesn't pee on the strap (it's not that loose!).

I bought this pack to help Shadow wear out some of his excess energy. He loves it and I love it too. He sits still when it gets put on and walks with a purpose now. I like it because he can carry things I don't have room for or I don't want to carry. It doesn't rub his skin like other packs I've used have done. It's a little challenging to size the first time but after that it's fairly easy to put on.

SquirtyPants is only 12#'s, so I ordered the X-Small size. It fits him perfectly. He's with me 24/7, and we needed a way to have all his supplies (food, water, bowls, chews, blankets, poopbags, toys, airline tickets, documents, etc.,) contained, organized, & ready at a moments notice. Approach Pack is EXTREMELY well constructed, w/ high quality materials. Glacial Blue color looks great on his black fur. Reflective piping is good safety feature. I can lift him into my SUV by the handle if need be. We're working on finding the right weight balance for the 2 large pockets. He also carries his OWN BUSINESS CARDS in zipper pocket!
