Dog Backpacks & Saddlebags

Dog Hiking Backpacks, Harnesses and Saddlebags

The trails are calling, and you’re ready to go hiking. Hiking with your dog can be a rewarding experience that further strengthens the bond between you. A dog hiking backpack can be a great accessory to let your pup join in on the fun—and help carry the load. Feeling more involved will help your dog have a sense of purpose on your trek, allowing them to be responsible for their own necessities. We've got everything you need at Petco to take your pup on the go in the great outdoors.

The weight of your backpack gives you an extra workout on a hike, and a pet backpack can similarly help your dog build muscle and stamina. After a long hike with an appropriately weighted dog backpack harness, your dog may possibly return home worn out and ready for a good night’s sleep.

When your dog first starts wearing a pet backpack, start with lighter weights and gradually build more weight as your dog’s strength improves. Starting with a small canteen and slowly adding more water is a great possible way you might increase weight on hikes. Consult your veterinarian to make sure your dog is ready and strong enough to wear a backpack and get other advice on how to prepare to take a dog hiking.
