Made in USA
Inspired by our legendary Tough Traveler child carrier backpacks—trusted for comfort since 1983—the Stallion Dog Perch Backpack is engineered for serious hikers who want to bring their dog along for the adventure. Designed specifically for taller adults and dogs up to 30 lbs, it combines technical hiking performance with canine comfort in a way no other carrier does.
Whether you're trekking through the mountains, navigating city streets, or traveling cross-country, the Stallion offers unmatched support, ergonomic design, and handcrafted durability. It’s the only framed dog carrier backpack made in the USA, built with the same quality materials and expert workmanship that have taken Tough Traveler packs to Everest and back.
🧭 Why the Stallion Stands Out
-
Comfort for You & Your Dog:
Your dog sits naturally—like in a firm armchair—thanks to a flat foam bottom and high padded sides. No dangling limbs or vertical squishing. -
Technical Hiking Features:
Suspension system, load-control straps, and a contoured hip belt work together to distribute weight evenly and reduce shoulder strain. -
Tall Adult Fit:
Designed for hikers between 5'5" and 6'6", with adjustable straps and breathable back support for long-distance comfort. -
Made in Schenectady, NY:
Tough Traveler has been crafting premium backpacks since 1970. Every Stallion is built to last for decades and withstand rugged use. -
Ideal for Dogs Up to 30 lbs:
The Stallion is perfect for breeds like Corgis, French Bulldogs, Mini Aussies, and others that fit comfortably within the carrier’s dimensions.
