Hi Mercy, this is such a great post! I am a furr-mom of two active jack russell terriers and my husband is a marathon trainer and will often take the dogs out on long runs up to 15K max. A back pack for water and a cold cloth to keep back wet and cool would be great. I had not heard of a dog backpack for smaller dogs, not sure why but I think it is because I have mainly seen them for larger dogs. I really appreciate this information and will look further into the ones you have recommended.

I’ve never heard of dog backpacks before, but I think they would be great when walking our German Shepherds! I like the fact that the Kurgo is lightweight, but the Ruffwear looks like the one that would last the longest. We walk the dogs through a wooded area with hills, do you have a recommendation which one of those would be better?
Hello Clayton
Thank you for stopping by I really happy you enjoyed our product review on top 5 backpacks for dogs, I would recommend ruffwear since it will be able to handle the roughness that comes with woods and hills.Thank you
Take care Mercy
Great information for anyone with a dog. I didn’t realize that the pack should be 25% of the dog’s weight. Thank you for this!
Hello Tamera
Thank you for stopping by yes we need to give the dog at least what it can handle because heavy load can cause the dog get tired and this can be a problem for you also.
Thank you

This is pretty cool, i never considered getting one of these….my dog is a giant mud splashing hog though, i’m pretty sure he’d spend his time rolling all over one of these. But a very cool concept!
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Travel and Treatz
I love the part where you say he’d spend his time rolling all over lol.He will also get excited carrying his own belongings on his back lol,I love the concept too,thank you
Take care Mercy
