Canine Backpacks

There are plenty of Canine backpacks on the market today, all of them have their strong points and weak points. The first step you should take before buys a pack is evaluate your dog. One of my dogs, Dingo, tends to chafe under his arm pits if he wears a normal harness, so a pack harness that does not sit right under his arms is a better choice for him.
