Backpack Going to smokey mountain national park and taking my yorkie. Looking for ideas on backback carriers. Something safe and comfortable for him and myself.plan to do a little hiking Thanks. |
Hi, I live in the foothills of the Smokeys, so very beautiful. I have hiked some trails with my Yorkie in a carry bag. Depending on what trails you plan on hiking, some are very steep & hard to navigate, I would be concerned balance might be an issue w/a back pack. You can search trails on Smokey Mountain web site & it will tell you how far & the difficulty. Also, just to let you know, a lot of hiking trails say no pets. I really hope that means dogs on a leash or just walking. I have taken my little one on several & no one has said anything. Hope you have a great time. You didn't say when you are going, but right now it's bitterly cold. Make sure you dress for it & your any too. |
Are pets allowed in national parks? We've always wanted to take Uni on hikes. She loves hiking and climbing, but we (meaning I) would probably end up carrying Toto. I'd be scared to take them when it's warmer due to bugs coming out in the Spring, but of course wouldn't want to go when it's cold either. |
Hi, I use Ruffitt dog carrier backpack for my 7 year old Yorkie. He loves to be in it so its quite comfortable for him and very safe (extra security clasp across your chest) so I feel very safe with him in it, on my back. |
