Sizing and fitting your dog for a harness or pack. We’ve purchased a Ruff Wear dog pack for our boy Blue and filmed the “before and after” so you can see what we did.

Blue is a big dog and has a large rib cage so we wanted to make sure the measurement were right on for his active lifestyle. He measured 33 inches around at the deepest point on his rib cage, just behind his front legs.

Pack features:

• Attached saddlebags with lightweight, streamlined, go-fast shape
• Weight-forward saddlebag design for ideal load-carrying position
• Trail-savvy details like waterproof zippers, high-visibility reflective trim, external gear loops, and durable construction
• Comfort-fit Web Master™ Harness frame ensures good structure, stability, and load dispersion
• Five-point adjustable fit to accommodate dogs of all sizes and shapes
• Designed to be worn with padded comfort, secure fit, generous ergonomic cut, and full range of motion
