Dog and hiking and backpack go together pretty well. Take out one item from the equation, and the whole thing falls down like a house of cards. At one point or another, you would have taken your dog with you to a long hike down the woods and you realize the trek could have been a lot more enjoyable if you did not have to carry all those paraphernalia by yourself?

Or maybe you intend to sit down under a huge oak tree to read your favorite book, so if dog equals hiking equals backpack were in place—you would not have to carry your own book. Besides, the dog feels responsible that way, when he knows he is helping you carry some of your stuff.

Dog and hiking and backpack come together real well when you got a great backpack for the little pooch. It not only helps carry the load, it also substitutes as your dog's sweater in case it gets cold out there in the woods.

Like we said, dog and hiking and backpack go well together, but it depends a lot on the last ingredient. If the backpack is a bad one, it can affect the dog and the enjoyment of the whole hiking expedition. So the onus is on you to select the best backpack for your pet.
