Dog backpack

[hockey390]

I am in the market for a backpack for my dog for when we go backpacking. I am looking for something to hold probably 4 days worth of food (15-20 cups), bowls (collapsible) leash, water.. etc.
Any suggestions? opinions on backpacks that have been used would be awesome.
In case there is any question here, it would be a pack for the dog to wear, not me =)

Check with Dog Scouts of America
They have a backpacking badge that dogs can earn, so I am sure they would have a wealth of informtion about the best packs to use.

You might want to try on different packs on your dog just to find one that fits well. We ended up getting a Kelty pack for our dog because it was very adjustable.

There are bunch of reviews on this site:

I would make a sure the pack has a handle so you can easily assist your dog through tough spots on your trail or they can give you extra support if needed...
