Dog Day Backpack

Front Range Day Pack

The Front Range Day Pack incorporates Ruffwear's signature radial cut saddlebags with the customer-favorite Front Range Harness platform, making it an everyday pack staple in any dog's gear closet. Dogs can help shoulder the load thanks to the integrated padded harness and belly strap that adjust for exceptional fit and pack stability. The saddlebag geometry creates a passive compression system that is formfitting and supports efficient load carrying.

Find the Right Size Pack for Your Dog

Before heading out on your first adventure with the Front Range Day Pack, we recommend that you properly adjust the pack so that your dog is comfortable and ready to explore.

Our sizing is based on the girth measurement around the widest part of the rib cage. Use our sizing chart and how to measure video to select the appropriate size for your dog. Check out our 'How to fit and adjust video' to learn proper fit and adjustment techniques for the Front Range Day Pack.

HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN MY DOG CARRY IN THEIR BACKPACK?

We suggest keeping total carrying weight (incl. the pack and its contents) under 25% of your dog’s body weight. First-time pack-wearers or senior dogs may want to go lighter. Puppies should wait until they're fully grown before carrying any weight.

HOW DO I GET MY DOG USED TO WEARING A PACK?

Try having your dog wear their pack on walks and short hikes. It’ll give both of you the chance to get to know the pack and its features. Plus, you can dial in the fit. Start with an empty pack, then work up to carrying some weight.

WHAT GEAR COULD MY DOG CARRY IN A PACK?

Depending on the size of the pack, your dog could carry items such as a leash, bowl, water, food, boots, treats, a toy or pick up bags.
