Dog Hiking Saddle Bag Backpack

This saddle bag backpack lets a dog carry a share of the load on walks and hikes. It is made from Oxford cloth and drapes across the back with a pouch on each side, in brown or army green. It comes in medium and large, and is designed for medium and large dogs.

Fit matters more than anything else with a pack like this. Measure your dog's chest girth and the length of the back from the base of the neck, then compare with the size chart. The pack should sit snugly behind the shoulders without rubbing under the legs or restricting movement.

Start with an empty pack on short walks, then add light items such as waste bags or a collapsible bowl, and keep the weight even on both sides. Stop and check for chafing after the first few outings. Many dogs carry a small portion of their body weight at most, so go lighter than you think. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth and air dry. One bag is included.
