Are backpack carriers good for the dog, like its spine? And would it be generally comfortable for them? I have a 10-lb Maltese and 15-lb lhasa. Thank you!
I would not recommend these for any long periods of time (15mins max) as the posture in the carrier is very different to a normal, standing dog and I would be concerned both about the spine and pressure on internal organs. Dogs should be encouraged to walk and stretch normally in order to maintain bone, muscle and ligament strength and core fitness in order to reduce the risk of injuries

Hello, I want to take my three and half month old puppy to a hike, we are planning to take him on a backpack and carry him all the way, I'm not sure if that is okay for us to do?
Once he is fully vaccinated and has tick prevention that would be ok. You can also let him run by himself for short stretches and then carry him. Make sure you have a container with water with you so he can drink.

I plan on taking Skye on a hike with me. She is on Revolution and has had her Leukemia vaccs. HI doesnt have ticks. Shes been in her harness before and has no problems with it. She will be kept on leash or in my carrier for her. What should I expect,
It sounds like Skye is all squared away for her adventure. Just be aware of the temperature and her level of stress. Make sure she gets a break and is offered water. Begin with very small walks and increase the duration if she is tolerant of them. I would also make sure she is microchipped in case she gets loose.
