Jeanette - 2008-02-05Great
I love this backpack!!! Strong durable and my dog loves it. The fit is perfect. She also looks great wearing it!!
Matt - 2007-11-04Good Job Ruff Wear!
This pack has it all! Great support, perfect balance, and roomy sidepacks. My Siberian and I do a lot of hiking in the wilderness areas of Montana and have never enjoyed a pack that performs as well as this one. One possible consideration from Ruff Wear would be to pad the shoulder straps. I did this after the first outing just because I wanted "Lily" to be more comfortable during a long haul. A product well worth the money!

I love the back pack. I too have a Mini Dachshund and it fits great on her. She is just too cute in her own little back pack and she looks proud wearing it. We will be using it a lot when the heat goes down here in Arizona.

I think this product is superior to other packs made for dogs. It's made to last. It comes in two great colors, and is adjustable. I plan on upgrading to the palisades II which has a bladder for water.
Nick - 2007-05-21Nice pack at a good price
After searching far and wide for a pack that would fit my 18lb Shiba Inu. Went on a limb with the pack (ordering online) after the smallest Kelty pack didn't work. This Ruffwear pack turned out very nice. It looks more polished/nice then the previous model (original). Has nice adjustments, and fleece strap guards etc. Overall a great pack.
Barbara Revels-Yumart - 2007-02-14Love our packback.
I love that you make such a small backpack, I have mini Dachshunds and couldn't find anything that was small, until I found your company online. One suggestion would be to sew suede or leather on the bottom of the packs, so that they don't wear out so fast.It would be like human backpacks, the way they have a reinforced bottom. You would only have to do it on the small bred packs, as they are so close to the ground. Other then the wear issue I just love our backpack and my dog looks so cute in it! Thanks
Anonymous - 2007-01-03Great Backpack!
This is the best dog backpack I have found! I use it on my service dog and it works great. The webmaster harness underneath makes the backpack fit great and very comfortable. The packs are the perfect size for day to day items.
Josh from Vail, CO - 2006-10-19great pack
fits my dog perfectly. From trail hiking to rock scrambeling, it stays in one place and doesn't hinder his range of motion. The handle on the back is great. The only problem is the rear strap padding liked to slip off easily when not buckled. But, a quick stitch fixed it.
Ferdie - 2006-06-02Great pack for short walks
This pack is good for short walks only. I only take my dog on short walks in the park and put her own water bottle and mine in each pocket
Rootball - 2008-12-01Stays balanced!
My golden carries this pack. This is the only one that I have had that stays balanced and that is a biggy. It appears to be very comfortable for him and there has never been any chaffing. Good pack.
stuart - 2007-09-05good pack
This is a good pack. our dog is 45lb catahoula and the medium is still a little loose for her. my only suggestion for the pack is some padding for the front straps. in warm weather the straps rub on her chest and i had to make covers for the straps. otherwise we wears it with pride.
Karen Perrin - 2006-08-14I love walking my dog's again
The Approach backpack is a nice product. I have a 6 month old miniature pinscher who used to drag me down the street and with the Approach backpack it keeps him working a little bit more and now I don't work so hard trying to control him. I really like the handle on the topside of the harness and find that I use it alot to assist him into the car. The harness fits well however because I am using the D ring on the harness to clip on the leash I find that the backpack will pull to one side or another. I am hoping to find a head halti for him instead. I also wish that this backpack was designed to allow the pack to be removed like the Palisade II. Overall a good product.
Kristen Cabe - 2004-08-05Approach II Pack
The packs pictured on this website are not the correct ones. They are the old models.
This pack is a great pack, except for the fact that it's saddlebags are not quite as big as some other packs available. It also only has one zipper on each bag, which can be a pain. On the top, at the rear of the pack, there is a seam at the base of the grab handle. It rubs a spot on my dog's back. I had to line it with fleece, and it still messes up her fur there, and I imagine it can be uncomfortable if she wears it for long periods of time. THIS is a flaw that I feel the manufacturer should consider fixing. Other than those three things, though, the pack is a great pack! I LOVE the spiderweb harness. It makes it much easier for the dog because the pack doesn't restrict shoulder movement.
