The market for dog backpacks is growing rapidly. Cheap imported products flood the market, promising a lot but often delivering little. That’s exactly why we at TARIGS asked ourselves: What truly makes a dog backpack great?
Our answer is clear: Quality doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of responsibility, experience, and the conscious decision to do things differently. That’s why we design and produce our dog backpacks in the EU with the highest standards of ergonomics, safety, and durability.
The Original: Pioneering Spirit Since 2018
When we began developing our dog backpacks in 2018, the market looked very different. There were simply hardly any solutions that truly deserved the term “ergonomic.” With the release of our first model in 2019, we broke new ground and set a standard where there had previously been a gap.
Today, we can proudly say: TARIGS is the original. While many other brands jump on trends, we remain the only brand consistently committed to the combination of high-quality ergonomics and sustainable quality “Made in EU”. Years of experience go into every seam and every strap.
Quality Cannot Be Outsourced
A dog backpack is not a disposable product. It carries a living being—your dog—and accompanies you on shared adventures. For us, it was clear from the start: a product that is meant to inspire trust must be made under conditions we can fully stand behind.
Through production in the EU, we ensure that:
- fair working conditions are maintained,
- materials are strictly controlled,
- every detail meets our quality standards.
Quality “Made in EU” means more to us than origin—it reflects our values.
Dog & Owner at the Center – From the Start
We build our dog backpacks differently because we don’t just see the product—we focus on the interaction between dog, human, and movement. A good dog backpack has to feel right for both sides.
That’s why every development at TARIGS starts with two questions:
- What is healthy and comfortable for the dog?
- What eases the back and shoulders of the owner?
Many models on the market fail exactly here: they work either for the dog or for the human. Our backpacks are designed consistently for both ends of the leash.
Ergonomics Are Not an Extra – They Are the Foundation
An ergonomic dog backpack determines whether it will be used with pleasure or end up in the closet after a short time.
For the dog, this means:
- a natural sitting or lying position without restriction,
- a stable, reinforced base,
- breathable materials for a comfortable climate.
For the owner, this means:
- padded, fully adjustable shoulder straps,
- hip and chest straps to relieve the spine,
- optimal weight distribution close to the body’s center of gravity.
High-Quality Materials Instead of Fast Trends
We don’t believe in products made for just one season. A TARIGS dog backpack is designed for many years of use.
It starts with the choice of materials:
- abrasion-resistant, durable fabrics that withstand claws and weather,
- long-lasting zippers and buckles,
- materials that maintain their shape and function.
Durability is also our way of contributing to sustainability: Replace less, use longer.
Safety Is Responsibility
When a dog is sitting in a backpack, there’s no room for compromise. That’s why safety features at TARIGS are part of the standard equipment:
- integrated short leash to prevent unwanted jumps,
- thoughtful ventilation to avoid heat buildup,
- sturdy constructions and reinforced seams at high-stress points.
These are not marketing gimmicks, but real protective features.
Production & Quality Assurance in the EU
Why don’t we produce cheaper in Asia? Because we want to see, feel, and control our quality.
European production enables:
- close collaboration with our partners,
- shorter supply chains and lower CO₂ emissions,
- strict, seamless quality controls.
Every TARIGS dog backpack goes through multiple inspection points before leaving our facility. This is craftsmanship you can feel—from the very first wear.
Advantages Over Cheap Imported Products
Cheap imported products may seem attractive at first glance, but they often reveal their weaknesses quickly: poor ergonomics, deteriorating materials, tearing seams, or unclear fabric origins.
A high-quality dog backpack made in the EU is an investment in:
- your dog’s health,
- your own carrying comfort,
- a product that will accompany you for many years.
What Our Customers Say
The feedback from our community confirms our approach:
- “My dog seems much more relaxed.”
- “No back pain even after long hikes.”
