Which Style? The Hiker Backpack is a top-of-the-range pack which is ideal for carrying heavier loads (up to 30% of your dog's body weight) and for longer distances. Being a 2 piece pack the saddle bags can be easily removed without having to undo the straps, and the padded saddle section and neoprene tabs on all buckles provide greater comfort for your dog.
Which Size? The pack size also depends on what you are wanting your dog to carry, for instance if the dog will be carrying light, bulky items or carrying dense, heavy items.
Being a two-piece backpack, the Windchill backpacks have the added advantage of allowing you to be able to quickly and easily remove and replace the packs on the saddle harness, which can remain on the dog. This practical feature is a big plus whenever you are using the pack, and is essential in situations where backpacks may have to be constantly removed to negotiate difficult obstacles such as logs over pathways, creeks, narrow openings, etc. The PVC buckle locks the pack section on to the saddle. These backpacks have been well and truly tried and tested on Alaskan Malamutes who have carried 30% of their body weight (up to 15 kg) in their packs over hikes of up to 70 km through rough terrain. We have limited backpacks in stock (please phone, fax or email to check availability, colours & sizes), or you can have a pack made to order to your requirements.
