If your dog is new to wearing packs, start with wearing the harness without any contents and slowly work up to heavier loads. 10-12% of your dog’s body weight is a good starting point for a load weight. However, this percentage varies depending on a number of factors such as your dog’s breed, physical fitness and energy level. At no time should your dog carry more than 25% of its body weight.

For your dogs safety do not use while your dog is unattended, or while your dog is swimming or running. For best results keep your dog’s load balanced between the two bags. Keep your dog properly nourished and hydrated before using this pack. When your dog wants to rest, do not force your dog to keep going. When resting, remove the dog backpack harness to shift weight off your dog's back. Not for use on puppies or senior dogs. Consult your vet with any questions or concerns about your dog using this product or the carrying weight.

The top handle is designed only for temporary lift assistance for dogs up to 25kg's and should not be used to carry your dog.

We recommend using your dog's backpack to carry water (either in a bottle or bladder), or our collapsible bowls, dog food or treats for longer hikes or overnight trips, pet waste pick-up bags, first aid kit, sunscreen, misc small items like car keys, phones, ect.

Backpacks are a great way to give your dog a job that they will enjoy which helps promote positive behavior, focus, and happiness for pups. Dog backpacks are also a great way to provide a workout for your pup to help build muscle and strength.
