Pet Dog Sling Carrier Breathable Mesh Travel Safe Sling Bag Carrier for Dogs Cats

Can I put my dog in a regular backpack?

No. I don't think it's cruel to carry your dog or cat in a backpack. You need to use common sense to be sure the animal is comfortable and feels safe. I'd suggest carrying the pet around the house in the backpack for awhile before taking them outside.

Is it bad to carry your dog?

It can cause increased stress on the lumbar spine. If we need to carry our dogs, it's much better to create a foundation with our arms, supporting the back and legs so that they're in a natural sitting or lying down position. Back supported; front legs in a natural position.
