  • by

Doggie Camel Pack

If you’re like me and my GSP, you may walk three miles while your hunting hound walks 15. I can do 3 without packing water for myself, but Flint needs water.

The Doggie Camel Pack lightens your load and gives your dog hydration and protection.

This innovative vest is designed to provide your dog with instant access to water and food, eliminating the need to carry separate bowls and bottles.

The pack features dual hydration bladders strategically placed for balance, ensuring your dog stays hydrated on the go. You can even pack it with ice packs to keep him cool.

The front pocket houses a high-tech pumping unit and watering tube, making it easy to provide your dog with water whenever needed.

Additionally, a second pocket includes a collapsible bowl and enough space for a day’s worth of dog food. For hunters, it comes with a brush guard on the front of the chest.

This thoughtful design ensures that your canine companion remains well-fed and hydrated during every adventure. And it comes in a variety of colors.

This isn’t a light-duty pack. These cobra buckles let you lift your dog through obstacles or lower him over cliffs.

Whether you’re hunting, hiking, or just enjoying a day out, the Doggie Camel Pack simplifies on-the-go hydration and nutrition, making it the perfect accessory for any active dog owner.

This custom-made pack starts at $249.
