Approach Pack

-
Day or Overnight Bag
An all-around backpack for the canine community. The Ruffwear Approach Pack™ is ideal for day hikes or overnight adventures. Radial cut saddlebags create a passive compression system that is form fitting. Its harness frame allows for an even, balanced load to prevent the saddlebags from shifting during movement along varied terrain. Lightweight materials, streamlined design, padding and 5 points of adjustment ensure a custom and comfortable fit!
Pack and stash all canine equipment, i.e. food, water, bowls, boots, and coat, in the Ruffwear Approach Pack - and you're good to go!
TIPS: For best results, use the girth measurement. Start with only a few items and slowly add more as your pooch becomes accustomed to the load. Please ensure your dog carries no more than 25% of their body weight in their dog pack.
KEY FEATURES
- Customizable fit with five points of adjustment allow for full range of motion
- Two leash attachment points: single-piece, anodized aluminum V-ring and webbing loop
- Padded handle and non-slip girth straps offer good load dispersion for controlled and comfortable lifting
- Trail-ready details: stash pockets and external gear loops
- Radial cut, weight-forward saddlebag design creates passive compression that stabilizes pack contents
- Harness suspension system provides stability, comfort and fit
- Made in Vietnam

My canine companion(s): Pitt/Lab MixGreat for packing dog essentials!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I use this pack to carry all my dogs essentials on almost every hike(long and short) we go on. If we are in difficult terrain it makes it easy to pick them up. My other dog Lucy even hiked the Appalachian Trail with it and it will hold up for as many miles as you need. We put over 2000 on it in 2014.

My canine companion(s): Alaskan HuskyFantastic overnight backpacking pack
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My dog wears the Approach pack on overnight backpacking trips, and it's perfect! He can carry all his gear: my homemade first aid bag, two liters of water, the small Knot a Leash, a 30' long leash for the campsite, his Quencher bowl, two kibble meals, an extra small camping towel, doggie bags, and a small square fleece blanket just big enough to curl up with at night. He doesn't mind it on, and gets an extra workout while looking handsome!

Dog's Name: Finntin
Date of Review: 1/3/2016
We kick up our paws in: Georgia/Alabama currently
My canine companion(s): Jack Russell TerriersHigh Quality, Durable
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
We wanted something that would last, fit well. and be easy to use. This is all of those things. Finntin will go off roading from the trail and even get stuck, forgetting how wide he is with his cargo, and the pack handles the wear well, doesn't look used at all. Super easy to attach a leash if need be, or pick him up without him sliding around. Pack stays in place and he does not seem to mind it at all. It will also last forever I think, which is exactly what we like to purchase, 1 thing that will last a long time. Looking to get our other Jack Russell this one, but may get a different one for Finn (he's the muscles of the two ;) ) and give this one to Ruby.

Buoyant, secure, reflective
The Float Coat™ from Ruffwear is the best safety gear for water-loving dogs. This life jacket is designed for dogs of all shapes and sizes, whether joining their humans when canoeing, rafting, kayaking, boating or paddleboarding.
Read our review on the Ruffwear Float Coat here!
Buoyant and not too bulky, this is a premium, fully-featured PFD with maximum flotation without being too restrictive. Thoughtful details include belly padding for added comfort and flotation and a strong handle, optimally positioned to lift dogs out of the water, and 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective trim for enhanced visibility in or out of the water.
The material itself is impressive. Made of 1680-denier ballistic nylon, the Float Coat is highly resistant to tearing, adding longevity and durability. This especially matters when the material is rubbed along the boat or dock when pulling your dog in. It's less likely to catch, rip and wear out fast - which means many years of fun for your water-loving dogs!
KEY FEATURES
- Confidence-inspiring canine life jacket built with time-proven, abrasion-resistant materials
- Natural swimming position made possible by strategically-placed closed cell foam panels
- Strong, low-profile handle is optimally positioned to help dogs out of the water

We kick up our paws in: Tarpon Springs, FL
My canine companion(s): Black LabGood quality great fit
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I have used Ruff Gear product for my dogs in the past. I have found them to good be quality and reliable so when we needed a life vest for our black lab to go on our boat, there was no other option in my opinion. The fit is good and Blu seems very comfortable in his new vest. I trust it will work when needed to pull this 90 lbs guy out of the water.

Dog's Name: Gnarly
Date of Review: 2/9/2016
We kick up our paws in: Williamsburg, VA
My canine companion(s): Boxer/Pit MixFunctional, Sturdy, Stylish
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Function: I purchased the K-9 float coat to help Gnarly become more comfortable in the water. When I first adopted him, he loved to wade in water, but panicked as soon as he couldn't touch the bottom. The float coat helped him build confidence and stamina. He's almost impossible to get out of the water now. The float coat is easy to put on and fasten. The straps are a little unruly to tighten. I advise adjusting as much as possible before putting on your dog. The handle is so sturdy! I'm able to lift a 55lbs Gnarly out of the water and onto my SUP board or dry land with no problem. The plastic D-ring for the leash has held up so far, but is the only part that I question as far as durability. The material is pretty resistant to scratches and tears. Gnarly has worn his through brambles and briars surrounding our swimming holes multiple times and you wouldn't know. Fit: Gnarly is right on the boarder between small and medium. I went for the medium, but I wish I had gone with the small. I keep the medium as tight as it will go but wish it were a bit more snug. Still, it stays in place and doesn't ride up. He wears it for up to an hour at a time and has no rub marks.
