I love the way it is constructed. I have a tall thin Miniature Pinture he has a big chest and a tiny neck and waste. He is about 15 pounds and 17 inches tall. He is supper fast . This back pack fits him perfectly it is on the smallest adjustment for his neck and waste and made a little bigger around his barrel chest. My dog loves to run I take him for long walks and when no one is at our park I let him off leash so he can run free . But I can’t always do that and walks do not tire him out enough. But this is a game changer. I can put a lot of stuff in the deep pockets on this bag to give him extra weight to carry to tire him out so he is not so destructive. I started off with just a free items in the small pockets like his poop bags and treats on one side and some small toys in the other side. Then I added in each side of the big pockets one small bottle of water. When we came home after his 2 mile walk he was ready to get in his bed and sleep. I love the fit, the color, how easy it is to put on a take off. I also love the nice zippers to keep his stuff secure. I thought it was expensive when I first looked at it but I was able to snag a deal on the last one in orange so I jumped on it . It would have been I good deal even at full price because this is not a toy . It holds a lot of stuff and is made extremely well and will out last my dog I believe. Thanks for an awesome product. Review: Finally a pack for my weird shaped pup - We have a hard time with sizing gear for our pomchi. He’s built like a tiny GSD, so smaller gear is usually too tight on his shoulders and neck, or huge on his tummy. Or, like with other packs, the harness system fits but the saddle bags are so big they touch the ground. I’m SO happy I found this pack, because the xs fits him like a glove. For reference, his measurements are: girth 22”, base of neck to base of tail 16”, neck 13”, 21 lbs. He’s on the big side for the xs measurements, and we did indeed have to extend the chest straps all the way, but he’s done growing so it’s a perfect fit. Sizing aside, I am really impressed with this pack. Our pup is small but he loves hiking and we usually have him carry his poop bags, water, bowl, hand wipes, first aid, and a snack. He outgrew his old Petsfit pack, which I actually think is a decent puppy back pack, but it was started to chafe his pits. I was looking to upgrade instead of replace, now that he’s full grown. I knew I wanted something that could hold a good amount but had a relatively small profile so he wasn’t smacking it on trees or getting stuck. This pack collapses fairly flat against his body when empty, but is big enough to hold two 16.9 fl oz water bottles in each pocket. They’re about the size of fanny packs. I also wanted a Y chest strap to keep it from shifting, cushioned straps, and for the straps to avoid being too close to his armpits. Check, check, and check. I’m so impressed with the quality and design of this pack too. It has elastic bands on the end of the two body straps, so it flexes with body movement. I was worried the belly strap would be too close to his peep, but it too can be adjusted and moved closer to the chest strap. The material on top is nice ripstop nylon, the zippers feel extremely sturdy, and it has a heavy duty ring for a leash. There’s also a safety handle on top. I highly recommend this backpack, if you can find the right size for your pup. ## Features - MADE FOR ADVENTURE: The lightweight, streamlined Approach Pack is comfortable and lets your pup efficiently carry a load so you can share more adventures. - DESIGNED FOR DOGS: The five points of adjustment offer a customized fit and a full range of motion. Additionally, the saddlebags are designed to be stable and form fitting. If your dog is new to packs, start with a light load! - BUILT TO LAST: The Approach Pack features two leash attachment points constructed from aluminum V-rings and secured with a durable webbing loop. - HELPFUL FEATURES: A padded handle and non-slip straps provide good load dispersion for comfortable and controlled lifting. Pockets and external gear loops let you stash all the necessities. - EXTENDING ADVENTURES: With the reflective trim, you and your dog can stay out longer. Want to go the extra mile? Attach Ruffwear's Beacon Light (not included) to the built-in light loop. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MT8PLG8 | | Additional Features | Adjustable, Durable, Lightweight, Padded | | Best Sellers Rank | #142,586 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #48 in Dog Backpacks | | Brand | RUFFWEAR | | Brand Name | RUFFWEAR | | Closure Type | Buckle | | Color | Orange Poppy | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 913 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Extra Small | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00748960642761 | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | RUFFWEAR | | Manufacturer Part Number | 50102-801LL1 | | Material | Nylon | | Material Type | Nylon | | Model Name | Ruffwear Wander Rucksack Für Hunde Hunderassen Größenverstellbar Größe ' Approach Pack | | Model Number | 50102 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Type | Dog | | Size | Large/X-Large | | Special Feature | Adjustable, Durable, Lightweight, Padded | | Target Audience | Dog | | Target Species | Dog | | UPC | 748960642761 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![RUFFWEAR Hiking Pack for Dogs, Large to Very Large Breeds, Adjustable Fit, Size: Large/X-Large, Orange Poppy, Approach Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810sjork4LL.jpg) ![RUFFWEAR Hiking Pack for Dogs, Large to Very Large Breeds, Adjustable Fit, Size: Large/X-Large, Orange Poppy, Approach Pack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713ed9Z6KpL.jpg) ![RUFFWEAR Hiking Pack for Dogs, Large to Very Large Breeds, Adjustable Fit, Size: Large/X-Large, Orange Poppy, Approach Pack - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816uqLQOivL.jpg) ![RUFFWEAR Hiking Pack for Dogs, Large to Very Large Breeds, Adjustable Fit, Size: Large/X-Large, Orange Poppy, Approach Pack - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GBpRhQ72L.jpg) ![RUFFWEAR Hiking Pack for Dogs, Large to Very Large Breeds, Adjustable Fit, Size: Large/X-Large, Orange Poppy, Approach Pack - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LHIFuHxNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much weight can my dog carry in a dog pack?** A: It's best to keep the total carrying weight (including the pack and its contents) under 25% of your dog's body weight. First-time backpackers may want to go even lighter. And, as always, it's a great idea to check in with your vet. **Q: What do you put in a dog saddle bag?** A: Some things you'll find in our dogs' packs for a day hike include a travel dog bowl, treats, water, pick-up bags, and dog boots. You may fit more or less depending on the size of the pack and how long you plan to be out. **Q: What activities should I use a dog pack for?** A: Use a dog pack for hiking, camping, & backpacking. It allows your pup to comfortably carry their share of essentials—like food, water, and waste bags—on both long treks and everyday adventures. **Q: How do I choose the right pack for my dog?** A: Choose a day pack for hikes and a larger pack for multi-day trips. Trail runners should use streamlined packs. Never exceed 25% of your dog's body weight. Start light and gradually increase the weight as your dog adjusts. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This bag holds a lot. *by E***. on August 10, 2024* I am so excited about this bright orange RuffWear back pack.

You pay a premium over the various cheaper alternatives but if you're going to use it, I think it's worth the money! This fit my little 30lb mixed breed pup, we've been out for a few dozen day hikes with it. I weighted it to get him some more exercise and to get him ready for a real backpacking trip, it seems very comfortable and doesn't slow him down one bit! Storage seems adequate for holding food, collapsing bowls, some water, toys, &c. for an overnight or weekend trip. I'm looking forward to getting him out this summer to really test it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/57828392-ruffwear-hiking-pack-for-dogs-large-to-very-large-breeds](https://www.desertcart.us/products/57828392-ruffwear-hiking-pack-for-dogs-large-to-very-large-breeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
