Some dogs are happy to walk all day. Others run out of steam halfway through, get nervous in crowds, or are recovering from surgery and are not supposed to be on their feet at all. A carrier backpack covers all three, and it leaves your hands completely free.

The back panel expands outward, which is the part that actually matters. It gives your dog room to shift position and lets air move through, so they settle instead of sitting rigid in one spot for an hour. The shell is 600D Oxford, the same fabric used on hiking packs, so it holds its shape rather than sagging once your dog leans into one side.

Two sizes, chosen by your dog's weight rather than their height.

• Expandable rear panel for extra room and airflow
• 600D Oxford shell, durable and breathable
• Medium suits dogs roughly 12 to 18 kg (26 to 40 lb)
• Large suits dogs roughly 18 to 28 kg (40 to 62 lb)
• Hands-free carrying for travel, crowds, and long days out

Size guide

For a cat or a small dog, the pet carrier tote bag is the easier carry. Either way, the portable dog water bottle is worth clipping on, since a dog riding in a pack still needs water on a warm day.
