A Better Backpack for You and Your Best Friend

Hiking with your dog is an incredible way to bond and create lasting memories. While many pet carriers are available today, none are as comfortable or reliable as the Tough Traveler Dog Perch Backpack. Designed and manufactured in the USA since 2001, this line of carriers is based on our popular child carriers, ensuring the highest standards of comfort and durability for both you and your pet.


What Makes Our Backpacks Different?

 A True Hiking Backpack System

Carrying up to 35 pounds for hours on end requires more than a simple set of straps. The Dog Perch is a technical hiking backpack first and foremost, designed with an advanced suspension system that distributes your dog's weight evenly. With a supportive frame, load-control straps, and sternum straps, you can fine-tune the fit to ensure maximum comfort on any trail. You get a serious backpack that can handle the load, allowing you to enjoy the journey without strain.

The Most Comfortable Ride for Your Dog

Unlike other pet carriers that force your dog into a vertical position or a shapeless sack, the Dog Perch provides a natural, armchair-like seat. The flat, supportive foam bottom allows your dog to sit in a comfortable, natural position. Your pup can rest their front paws on the carrier's scooped sides, taking the pressure off their joints and allowing them to see the world from a new perspective.

Built to Last, Made in the USA

Since 1970, we've been crafting high-quality products with superior workmanship and materials. When you choose a Tough Traveler Dog Perch, you're not just buying a backpack—you're investing in a durable, American-made product built to withstand years of adventures. Our commitment to quality ensures your backpack will last for decades, holding up to the toughest usage.

    "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.
