The Ruffwear Front Range Day Pack is the perfect dog pack for days out exploring. With a comfortable fit similar to the popular Front Range Harness, this pack has an integrated padded harness and belly strap. It also has 5 points of adjustment giving it exceptional fit on most breeds and pack stability. It has a front loading design which means the saddlebags sit comfortably towards the shoulders in an ergonomic position.
This canine rucksack also has 3 leash attachment options. There are a V-ring and a tow loop on the back. Plus it has a reinforced webbing loop on the chest that can be used, alongside training techniques, to redirect dogs that may pull on the leash.
There is also a back handle that you can use to help your dog over obstacles and river crossings.
New improvements for 2024: Easier adjustments on the girth & belly straps. An updated front attachment point which is much more durable. Ruffwear have also included more recycled materials in the shell, webbing and lining.
