PICK & PACK

find the right pack (and contents) for your dog

From shorter day hikes with just the essentials to multi-day treks in the backcountry, dogs can help shoulder the load in comfort with our high-performance carry solutions that are both practical and packed full of features.

Which one is right for your dog and the trails ahead?

WHAT TO PACK

Treats are a given. First-aid would be wise. What else could you pack in our top dog packs?

SINGLETRAK™ PACK

The Singletrak™ Pack is low-profile and comes with water bladders. Some pick-up bags and the Trail Runner™ Bowl are great things to pack for your next run.

FRONT RANGE™ DAY PACK

The Front Range™ Day Pack comfortably carries hiking necessities for days on the trail. You might need to pack essentials like Grip Trex™ Boots, a Quencher™ Bowl, and a backup layer should mountain weather turn fickle.

APPROACH™ PACK

The Approach™ Pack carries all the trail basics like bowls, boots, and first-aid, but if you’re spending the night under the stars, there’s room to pack extra food, a warm jacket, or even the Highlands™ Sleeping Bag in the Medium and Large/XL size.

PALISADES™ PACK

The Palisades™ Pack shines on multi-day treks with the most volume of all our packs, plus water bladders and removable saddlebags. A sleep system, food, first-aid, and boots are a given, and the Camp Flyer™ Disc is a favorite add because it’s light on weight but heavy on the fun (and can double-up as a bowl).
