Frequently asked questions

Which dogs is a carrier backpack for?

Small dogs up to 20 kg: puppies that cannot walk far yet, older dogs, dogs with sore joints and any dog that gets tired on a long day out.

Can you cycle with a dog in a backpack?

There is no specific ban on carrying a dog in a carrier on the bike. You remain responsible for riding safely, so make sure your view and balance are not affected, and let your dog get used to the bag before you hit the road.

Can I take the backpack on a hike?

Yes. Customers take it into the mountains for the stretches their dog cannot walk. Your dog walks where it can and rides where it needs to.
