The Trail Dog Backpack puts it on the dog instead, in two roomy pockets that sit either side of their back like panniers on a bike. Most dogs seem to like having a job. Most owners like having their hands back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo pockets, with windows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach pocket is about 18 x 23cm, with a zip across the top and a clear panel in the front so you can see what's in there without unpacking it. One side for their things, one side for yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for a British walk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe outer is a water-repellent Oxford fabric that shrugs off showers and wet bracken, and the straps are lined with sandwich mesh so air gets through on a warm climb. Reflective strips on both pockets catch headlights and torches once the light goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits like a harness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA padded neck strap and a wide chest band with quick-release buckles, all adjustable with slider buckles, so the bag stays put rather than sliding round. There's a rubber grab handle on top for steadying your dog over a stile, and a metal ring beside it for the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSix colours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlack camo, black, grey, blue, green or yellow. The yellow and blue are the easiest to spot across a field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA quick word of honesty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a day-walk bag, not an expedition pack. The fabric is water-repellent, so it handles rain, but it isn't sealed, and a dog who lies down in a puddle will get the contents damp. Keep the load light: a bottle of water, a snack and the odds and ends you'd otherwise be carrying. And if your dog's never worn a backpack, start empty and let them get used to it round the garden first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: neck 60–70cm, chest 65–93cm, belly 50–87cm (one size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag: approx. 46cm wide × 31cm deep; pockets approx. 18 × 23cm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 1.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter: water-repellent Oxford fabric; sandwich mesh lining on straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails: clear window pockets, reflective strips, rubber grab handle, metal lead ring, SBS zips, quick-release buckles, padded neck strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest for: medium and large dogs, adult, fit and used to a harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: black camo, black, grey, blue, green, yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to measure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck: around the base of the neck where a collar sits. Chest: around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Belly: around the narrowest part of the waist. If your dog is between sizes, measure again rather than guessing; the chest number is the one that matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety and use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly for adult dogs that are fit and healthy, not for puppies, older dogs or any dog with joint or back problems. Keep the load light and balanced between the two pockets, and build up gradually. As a rule of thumb, many trainers suggest a dog carries no more than around 10% of its own body weight, and your vet is the right person to ask for your dog. Check the straps aren't rubbing after the first few walks, take the bag off for rest stops and swimming, and never clip a long line or extending lead to the ring on a loaded bag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happier Doggo","offers":[{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":55488176324937,"sku":"CJGX173743303CX","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Camo","offer_id":55488176226633,"sku":"CJGX173743304DW","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":55488176259401,"sku":"CJGX173743305EV","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green","offer_id":55488176292169,"sku":"CJGX173743302BY","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/8050\/4741\/files\/28.jpg?v=1790870340","url":"https:\/\/happierdoggo.com\/en-us\/products\/trail-dog-backpack","provider":"HAPPIER DOGGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
