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!

Harper ★★★★★

My pup's a notorious misanthrope on trail, but this pack turned him into a focused little worker—the balance is spot-on and he barely notices it's there. He's already done three light overnights with it, and the straps haven't shifted once, even on steep switchbacks.

Sebastian H. ★★★★★

The side pockets sit high enough that they don't bounce against her legs even when she's trotting, and the whole thing balances well once loaded. She actually seems prouder carrying her own water and snacks now.

Matthew R. ★★★★★

We did a three-day hike with this on my border collie and he carried his own water and food the whole way without chafing. The fit is snug but he never tried to wiggle out, even on the steep scrambles. Honestly, best gear purchase I've made for him.
