Ruffwear Hitch Hiker Backpack for Carrying Your Dog - Basalt Gray

Ruffwear Hitch Hiker Backpack for Carrying Your Dog – Basalt Gray

Share even more adventures with your four-legged companion using the Hitch Hiker™ Dog Backpack – a lightweight, technical carry harness designed to give your dog a lift when needed.

Dual locking zippers create a wide opening for easy entry and exit between hiking and carrying. Once your dog is inside, the integrated harness keeps them secure while allowing them to sit comfortably and look ahead at the trail. Cinch cords add extra security and keep your dog close to your back while being carried. Mesh side panels at the base improve airflow for temperature regulation.

Use the external carry handle to lift and move the bag. Once on your back, the weight is evenly distributed for the human thanks to padded shoulder straps, a ventilated back panel, adjustable torso length, and a supportive hip belt for all-day comfort. Hip belt pockets offer quick access to essentials like poop bags, treats, and most phones. Store a soft water bottle, collapsible bowl, or extra layer in the zippered external stretch pocket at the bottom of the backpack.

Available in three sizes based on your dog’s chest girth and comfortably fits dogs up to 18 kg. The hip belt fits waist sizes from 53–149 cm.
