DescriptionSize ChartSpecificationsFAQReviews

We focused on developing a dog backpack that is so lightweight and non-restrictive that your dog will not feel it when running through the hills.

Modeled from a dog harness, the Trail light dog backpack features a Y-shaped neck and uniquely streamlined pockets, promoting unrestricted shoulder movement and full range of motion. A sturdy handle allows you to work as a team amd safely lift your dog over obstacles, while the harness' extended length evenly distributes the weight.

The two water-resistant side pockets are designed to distribute weight and reduce pressure on the spine. They are lined with a soft material that minimizes shifting, enhancing comfort during active use. Additional bungee cords on the top and sides allow for extra storage.

Tackling the common issue of overheating with conventional dog packs, the open mesh on the top and our highly breathable Hexivent material on the belly panel ensure increased airflow and quick drying. The light-colored pockets effectively reflect solar heat.

Quick to put on and off, and highly adjustable around the neck and chest, the backpack has four protected side-release buckles.

The Trail light dog backpack is available in sizes XS-XL, in color Gray/black.

FAQ

How do I find the right size on the Trail light dog backpack?

Follow the size chart. Measure your dog's neck and chest circumference, then enter the numbers into our size finder tool on the product page to receive a recommended size for your dog.

Use this video to measure your dog.

Are the pockets removable?
No, the pockets are integrated.
How old should my dog be to carry a backpack?

Your dog should be fully grown, approximately two years before it is ready to start backpack training. Initially, with no weight, let your dog get used to wearing the backpack. Then you can gradually increase the load. Make sure to balance the weight on both sides.

How much weight can my dog carry?

How much a dog can carry depends on the breed, size, and shape. Your dog should be fully grown, approximately two years of age, and in good shape before they start to carry weight. Always start with an empty backpack and add weight gradually over several weeks. For a healthy dog in regular shape that only carries weight occasionally, a maximum of 5-15% of your dog’s body weight is recommended.

A strong and well-trained dog can carry 30-50% of their own body weight. This will vary based on the dog's shape and breed. In addition, the weight of the backpack will depend on the terrain and the length of the hike.

Learn more about backpacking with dogs in this article.

How should the weight be distributed?
Place the heaviest items above the shoulders for maximum comfort and to avoid any pressure on the spine. For larger sizes, use the side compression bungees to prevent secure the load and reduce bouncing. The compression bungees can be adjusted from inside each pocket.
