Your canine friend can pay its way, or at least carry its own food. Our dog backpacks are durable and comfortable. Adjustments on the back, under the belly, and across the chest ensure a proper fit, and reduce slippage. The unique chest and belly strap are made of smooth tubular webbing with enclosed elastic, allowing the harness to flex, reducing chafing.
Features
The panel along the spine is made of mesh and cushy, breathable foam and is designed to breathe and distribute the weight of the panniers
The pouches hang from the spine panel by 3 adjustable webbing straps so you can adjust the height of the pack on your dog
There are 2 D-rings for attachment of a leach on the spine panel – at the head and tail
1 strap goes around the front of the chest, and the second goes under the belly - linking the 2 pouches
Chest and belly straps are made of smooth tubular webbing with enclosed elastic, allowing the harness to flex, reducing chafing.
The back of the dog backpack (against the dog) is padded and lined with fleece

Advice from the Field
A typical dog can carry up to 25% of its body weight, up to 33% for a very fit dog. Monitor your dog like you would your child for signs of overheating, fatigue, and a reduction in the “fun” thermometer.
