Recommended Use

We recommend that initially your dog carries no more than 10% of their body weight, including the contents of the backpack and the pack itself. If your dog is new to backpacks, we suggest starting with a lighter load and adding weight over time. Canned veggies make for a great trial run around your neighborhood!

John O. ★★★★★

The saddlebags sit snug without rubbing her shoulders, and the chest strap keeps everything stable even when she scrambles over rocks. First hike out she carried her own water and treats, and honestly she seemed prouder trotting back to the car.

Timothy ★★★★★

My terrier mix finally stops trying to chew the straps when we’re resting—the padding sits snug without digging into her shoulders, and the main compartment swallowed her water bowl plus a small first-aid kit for our four-mile loop. She actually trots ahead now, like she’s proud to be hauling her ow

Christopher N. ★★★★★

Took this on a light overnight trip and the pack held steady the whole way—no sagging or rubbing, even on rocky switchbacks. My pup trotted ahead like he was born for it, and the extra weight actually seemed to calm his usual pulling.
