Dog backpacks are an accessory that It can be very useful when going out for long journeys with our puppy or mini breed.. Of course, when choosing one, we must not make the mistake of humanizing our pets and forgetting about their obvious physiognomic differences. Furry ones need a backpack designed specifically for them, with adequate padding and an opening for the head, among other features.
We can find all kinds of bags and backpacks for this purpose on the market but, when purchasing one, we must make sure beforehand that they are specifically designed for them and opt for those of waterproof, durable and breathable materials. You also have to know that the weight on the spine of dogs is not distributed the same as in humans, as the Kiwoko veterinarians explain.
Dogs, being quadrupedal, they do not have joints prepared for certain postures in which some backpacks force them to remain and that they are totally unnatural for dogs. Also, certain positions can overload their spines and in puppies can be detrimental to the normal development of their bones and joints.
One way to calculate the size that the backpack should have is don’t just look at weight and measure around the dog’s chest. And it is that, in addition to fitting, it must not be oppressed and must be able to stand up inside. Also, look at the padding because if the backpack has too much thickness added, there could be additional pressure on the pet’s chest or too much heat.
Another aspect is that the bottom of the bag must be thick, hard and flexible but never smooth. This is important to balance the dog. In addition, the backpack should have a clip on the inside to connect with your collar to ensure that it goes in the correct position.
