Backpacks

Does anyone use a backpack with their dog? I was thinking about getting Lily an Ezydog one so she can carry the water and anything else we need on a long hike?

Was thinking about it last year for Tilly but some of them would drown her , now Tommy is going to be a big boy might just make him carry everything for him and his sister just to make up for the grief he gives her , shouldn't really contemplate it until the dog is 18 months old though

Yeah I've always been interested in the ezydog ones but not until he's old enough.

The Ezydog ones look pretty good value , think by your profile pic Jason looks like an Ezydog collar on Ramsey (don't know about you Claire) so the quality is good and about 1/2 the price of some of the other stuff knocking around

Yeah it is.. Ezydog is fantastic quality, I have a lot of their stuff.

A link below to the Ezydog backpacks :

Yeah they have their pink camo ezydog collars in the pic. Lily is 2 now so she is old enough for a backpack. She is so fat she needs ezydog large in collar and harness. I thought it might help her to lose weight if she had the backpack on I also have a code for getting it half price from the website

Just looked at that carrier Dave742

I'm a huge fan of backpacks as long as the dog is 18 months of age and the weight is built up slowly. Suki loves hers.

Ummmmmmm Rocky would love this one.

I am def gonna get one for Logan when he is old enough. I think they are great. I think I read somewhere 10% of the dog's weight is enough to work up towards. Just gotta slowly work up towards it.
