The dog backpack makes the cold season a pleasure
Winter is a wonderful time of year to explore the great outdoors with your four-legged companion. However, it is not always pleasant for dogs to walk long distances through snow, ice and mud. This is where the dog backpack comes into play. A dog backpack in winter protects your dog from the cold and wet and allows him to be with you on longer trips.
Why a dog backpack makes sense in winter:
A dog backpack offers many advantages for both dog and owner in winter. The dog is optimally protected from the elements and can actively participate in life even in adverse weather conditions. For the owner, this means more flexibility when choosing routes and the certainty that the four-legged friend can take a break safely and comfortably in the rucksack at any time. A dog backpack is a valuable addition to your equipment, especially on longer tours or in rough terrain.

Salt and ice can irritate and dry out sensitive pads. This not only causes pain, but can also lead to cracks and inflammation. With special dog shoes and paw protection ointments, you can effectively protect your dog’s paws from these stresses.
A warm jacket, coat or sweater is essential in winter, especially for short-haired or older dogs. The clothing should be close-fitting but not restrict freedom of movement. Make sure that the dog feels comfortable in it and can walk, sit and lie down unhindered.
Reflectors and bright collars or vests are a must so that your dog can be seen well even in poor visibility.
Don’t forget to take enough drinking water for your dog. And you should always have a first aid kit with you in case of an emergency.
With our Snuggle Bags, the dog backpack becomes a cozy retreat in winter.
Winter adventures with your four-legged friend: fun in the snow
Walks in the snow are a real pleasure for most dogs. The white splendor invites dogs to run around, play and explore and offers countless new smells and impressions that arouse their curiosity.
Snowball fights are a great way to share the joy of winter with your dog. Many dogs love chasing or catching snowballs. Be careful not to throw the snowballs too hard. Small, loose snowballs are exciting enough for your dog. Even though your dog may see the snowballs as a treat, discourage him from eating them. Contaminated snow can lead to stomach problems.
Snowshoeing is the perfect joint challenge for humans and dogs. It is a full-body workout that strengthens endurance and muscles and at the same time strengthens the bond. There are many options for snowshoe hikes with dogs. Find out from the local tourism associations about suitable routes and possible special features in the respective region to enjoy unforgettable winter experiences together.
In winter, icy surfaces provide an attractive backdrop for walks with your dog. However, ice also harbors risks. To avoid accidents, it is important to check the thickness of the ice and stay in safe places.
Nose work in the snow is a wonderful way to keep your dog physically and mentally active. The cold season offers ideal conditions for this, as it intensifies the scent molecules in the air so that your dog can use its nose even more intensively. Adjust the difficulty of the task to your dog’s ability. Start with simple hides and gradually increase the level of difficulty.
Sledging with a dog is an exciting winter adventure that brings people and animals together. To make it safe and fun, the right equipment, a well-trained dog and a suitable route are crucial. Not every dog is suitable for this.
When skiing, cross-country skiing or skating, your four-legged friend can either run alongside you enthusiastically or enjoy the ride from the comfortable perspective of the TARIGS dog backpack. Find out more about this topic in our blog “Skiing with a dog in a dog backpack”.
Skijoring is a demanding sport that requires a strong bond between man and dog. The dog must be well trained and the special equipment must fit well. In skijoring, the dog is connected to the skier via a lead. The dog pulls the skier across the snowy landscape. Snow, ice and wind can affect the skijoring experience. It is important to keep an eye on the weather conditions and stop the activity if necessary.
