"I recently purchased the Kid Carrier...and Dog Perch. I absolutely love the entire set. (And so does my dog.).... Thanks for making such a great product!"- Marge Tretter


Available in two versions: the "Kid Carrier" with standard padding, and the "Filly" with extra-thick, 1" padding in the (human) waistbelt, shoulder straps, and lower back area.  Select the "Kid Carrier" for medium usage and light hiking.  Select the "Filly" if you plan to do all-day hikes, if you hike on rough terrain, or if you prefer extra back padding in your technical backpack!

 

  • A true technical hiking-quality backpack with our great suspension system, supportive frame, load-control & sternum straps, and other features so you can be comfortable while carrying your dog.  We've been pack makers since 1970, and our backpacks have been to Everest and back!
  • Allows most dogs to sit in a more comfortable "armchair" position instead of being squeezed into a sack or forced to sit in a vertical posture.
  • The only framed dog carrier backpack that is made in USA. We design and manufacture with superior workmanship and quality materials for comfort, convenience, and durability.
  • The Dog Perch comes in seven sizes for the best fit for you and your dog, so please check the specs and sizing to find the best option.  For personal assistance, please email us at service@toughtraveler.com or call us at 1-800-468-6844.  We will help you find the right fit!
  • Please see the comments and photos other customers have sent us to see the pack in action in the real world!
