Mountainsmith K-9 dog pack that we got at Mountain Equipment Recyclers for $50. One pound, three ounces.
That deodorant looking thing is some fancy paw protector stuff that $100 picked up somewhere. The dog has never had issues with her paws and I hope that continues.
The food/water bowl was $20 from Living The Dream Brewing Company, one of our favorites.
The dog gets 1.5 pints of food three times a day while we're hiking. Plus lots of treats, mostly from Zuke's. We use the Kirkland brand that you can pick up from costco for $30 per ginormous bag. The usual non-hike diet for her is two pints total per day, one at 7AM and one at 7PM.

Hey JT - If you have any concerns about the dog's paws, we have a set of Muttluks from when we had our Aussie that are in great shape. You are more than welcome to take em on the trip for some extra insurance. Drop me a message if you want to grab them. Hope the trip is awesome - will be watching for the updates!
Our pooch has never had issues with her paws, so we are not going to use boots. And I'm also thinking of having her go packless with me carrying her food. I think that would increase our chances of finishing the hike.
I'll be updating FB more than this blog during the hike, FYI.
