For a 4 day resupply window, we're looking at 18-20kg (40-45lb) which, on this practice hike this weekend, was a shock.

When it comes to dog backpacking packs, it's best to keep the total carrying weight (including the pack and its contents) under 25% of your dog's body weight. You’ll want to go even lighter if your dog is just getting used to the pack. Example: For a 45-pound (20-kg) dog, their pack should weigh no more than 11.25 pounds (5 kg) including food, water, gear, and the pack itself.
