Henkelion Small Blue Space Capsule Dog Backpack

Dog backpacks are great for bringing pets along on walks and hikes, and some can serve double-duty as carriers in your car or truck. Before buying one, measure and weigh your pet and look for backpacks that meet those size specifications. If your dog is at the top of the weight or size range, you may want to go up a size for their comfort.

Decide on what you will be using the backpack for. It can be difficult to carry a big dog in a heavy backpack on a long hike.

Some of the backpacks on the market are more suited for transporting pets, while others are great for walking long distances. Strong and padded shoulder straps will also keep you more comfortable when you are out exploring.

• Safety features are very important for dog carrier backpacks. Be sure that the backpack has a place to attach the collar, otherwise, your dog might jump out and run away.
• Comfort is also key. Look for backpacks that have soft areas for your pet to relax.
• Like babies, dogs like that snuggly feeling of being next to a warm human body. Just make sure to allow them enough room to move around.
• To find your dog’s height, measure from the floor up onto the top of his or her shoulders. For girth, measure over their shoulders, behind the front legs and back up again.
