A dog backpack is worth buying. For around $80, there are several brands and styles. I went with the Ruff Wear backpack, but there are plenty of other brands out there to choose from. I like Ruff Wear’s gear because it seems to favor usefulness and durability over style. But I also liked the look of the pack, and my mutt doesn’t mind wearing it. It fits him comfortably and doesn’t slide around. The packs come in several sizes and have adjustable straps. Anyone with an active dog should buy a dog backpack. Here’s why: 1. Your dog will get more exercise. 2. Your dog can carry his own stuff. 3. He can carry your stuff, too. 4. It makes a good water/beer carrier. 5. He can carry his own doggy bags. 6. Carrying a backpack gives your dog a job to do. 7. He will not be as focused on pulling. 8. Your dog can go on more trips. 9. It’s easier to see your dog. 10. The backpack will last a long time.

This is a really good idea. Gotta go tell my friend. She always has to carry the dog’s water bottle but she’s a labrador and can carry it herself.

That’s just cruel

It’s not cruel, working dogs especially like to have a purpose and feel useful. Have a friend who’s dog loves doing this if he walks without carrying everyones water he is despondent but when he carries he is happy. Too much weight would be cruel, but general idea is brilliant

This would seem useful for my airedale. He never seems fully satisfied after our 30 to 45 min walks, but I however am completely pooped. It doesn’t seem cruel at all either. Dogs love having jobs. Dogs on farms always seem so happy bc they’ve got lots of stuff to do. This is a very good idea thanks for sharing!

I agree, this would be great for my high energy dog. When we walk I end up carrying a backpack with water, newspaper to read when we take a break, cell phone, car keys. I think she’d enjoy toting stuff and it could use up some of her friskiness. feefifoto’s last blog post..Every Day’s A Holiday
