The position of the dog bag is vitally important. The majority of the weight should always be kept off the dog’s spine and should be focused around their shoulders. This is why side bags and saddle bags can sit more comfortably and safely around the dog’s side. Saddle bags are pouches that are fitted to the side of your dog’s harness. The bag itself should be fitted tightly but comfortably so weight can be evenly distributed across the dog’s torso. Make sure the bag you are using is suitable for your dog’s size and breed. Saddle and side bags attach to any compatible dog harness and our IDC® Powerharnesses can be easily fitted with our official saddle bags.

When you’re adjusting the straps, it is best to follow the two-finger rule. That is, you’ll want to adjust the backpack to fit snugly, but there should be enough room for you to fit two fingers between the gear and your dog. This ensures the perfect security while allowing the backpack to sit comfortably around your dog. Once you have received your Alpha Pak dog backpack, try it on your pup and adjust it as necessary using the EZ Fit Straps to get the perfect fit.
