My kids and hubby are outdoorsy. Not a whole lot like hiking through backcountry and climbing precipices, but way more than me. And even more so than our new puppy – Alpha Lady – who is a Shih Tzu, not exactly known to be the greatest canine athlete.
After a lot of begging for Alpha and me to join them on their nature walks, I folded. Although she is only around 12 pounds, if carried for a long time in the arms can truly make any walk miserable.
Which is what happened the first time. However, I did love getting outdoors with the family, and even with the doggy.
That’s when I needed a solution and, guess what, I found it in a doggy back pack!

That’s right, a backpack to hold your small dog. I had no idea these things existed.
It’s freaking amazing!
When we first got it, I was concerned how will she stay in it. And will she even like it.

She loved it!
How could she not, it’s so cozy on the inside, spacious and I carry her on my back. The bottom of the bag has a cushion making it feel like her bed.
There are plenty of different zippers for her head or her full body.
I loved the amount of compartments and pockets that the backpack has. You don’t need to carry another one with for your own stuff, which fits comfortably inside.
I want one for me.
The EVA Backpack Pet Carrier is first class all the way.
There are so many places to hike in the world, I’m a huge fan of Orange County California. I lived in San Diego for a year and we used to go hiking in Crystal Cove, an experience to remember.

What a ridiculously cute product! We are a keen outdoor family and in the process of choosing a small dog that could join us when hiking. We are investigating breeds that suit hiking but we may end up following our heart and getting a fluffy pooch. Then I guess I’ll be carrying the extra weight 🙂
It is ridiculously cute LOL
Can’t wait to see your doggie
What size are you wearing? The small or large?
Small one 🙂
