Advantages of a doggie backpack over regular carrier bags


  • Comfort and safety. The carrier backpacks that you can buy at Zoospot are of excellent quality and are equipped with a soft lining and mesh inserts, which provides comfort and good ventilation for your pet.

    They allow the dog to sit or lie in a natural position, creating cozy conditions for it during travel.

  • Freedom of movement. A backpack on the owner's shoulders frees up his hands, which allows him to move freely and at the same time take care of the dog. This is especially convenient when traveling, hiking or traveling on public transport.

  • Less restrictions. In regular carriers, a dog may feel discomfort due to limited freedom of movement and visibility.

    In carrier backpacks, it can completely relax or observe the world around it, which contributes to its calmness and pleasure from the walk.

  • Greater mobility. Backpacks-carriers are ideal for hiking, traveling and an active lifestyle, where the dog can become an indispensable companion without causing any inconvenience.
