"...Basil's great adventure, all thanks to your wonderful dog carrier!" Katherine (Michael Carter & Basil)

The Dog Perch Backpack II (an updated version of our original!) is a superb backpack with a special seat for your dog. Pets ride in a natural position without legs or tail dangling, and our technical backpack suspension system eases the load on your shoulders and back, and moves most of the weight comfortably to your hips. Safety harness restrains pet without discomfort. The ideal dog carrier for taking your pet hiking, around town or to outdoor festivals! Great for puppies, ailing or elderly dogs, and possibly even going where dogs are not usually permitted.

"Our dogs are 11 and 12 years old, and need a little help on those long day hikes. We tried [the Dog Perch Backpack] out...at Grayson Highlands in SW VA. This worked perfect! The dogs loved it and one of them fell asleep while we were hiking." Erick Allen, Hendersonville, NC.
