Dog Backpacks for Fitness

Many of the Fitness Adventures we lead your dog on can be enhanced with a weighted backpack. These exercises include walking, running, hiking, hill climbing, and stair climbing. By using a specially made backpack that rests comfortably on your dog's back, made of lightweight material with poly fleece inner surfaces, we ensure your dog's comfort during these workouts. The backpack is equipped with a breathable back panel to prevent hot spots and chafing.

Many dogs, especially those belonging to the working group and herding group breeds, enjoy the feeling of having a job to do. Carrying a weighted backpack gives them a sense of purpose and accomplishment, which helps alleviate boredom and frustration. Additionally, it provides excellent exercise for your dog. A backpack can turn a bored dog into a happy hiker!

If you're considering other options, such as dog day care or dog walkers, we encourage you to explore those as well to find the best fit for your dog.
