Find the perfect backpack

Tailored precisely to your pet

Every dog is unique in terms of its size, build and needs. The requirements for the right backpack are just as individual. Whether for small puppies, older dogs, long hikes or everyday life in the city: we know how difficult it can be to choose the right model and the right size. A backpack not only needs to offer your dog sufficient space, protection and an ergonomic posture, but it must also be comfortable for you to carry.

To ensure you’re not left in the dark, we’ve developed various guides and interactive resources. They’ll guide you step by step to the ideal choice – so that you can enjoy your adventures together completely worry-free.

Interactive Finders

Use our Size Quiz to find the right backpack size quickly and easily. Simply answer a few short questions about your dog’s weight, back length and shoulder height. Our system will then instantly calculate the best recommendation to ensure your dog is neither too constricted nor has too much room to move.

Measuring & Fitting

Here you’ll find all the detailed weight and capacity limits, as well as the dimensions of our backpacks at a glance. It’s ideal for comparing your dog’s measurements directly and checking the dimensions of the backpack itself.

Getting the right size starts with measuring your dog accurately. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to take the proper measurements. This will ensure that the backpack is spacious enough and fits your dog correctly.
