When I head out with Mack, I don’t leave without our backpack. Not just because it looks good (although it does), but because it’s practical, reliable, and helps him carry his own gear.
Our Big Dog Backpack Bundle is designed to make outings with your large dog easier, more organised, and more enjoyable—for both of you.
Here’s what’s included and how we use it:
The Backpack - https://bigdogthings.com.au/products/big-dog-backpack
This is the core of the bundle. It’s rugged, roomy, and built for adventure. We’ve tested it on long hikes, beach runs, and café visits. It’s made to fit securely without rubbing, and the design allows your dog to carry their own essentials—like water, treats, toys, and training gear.
I love that it has MOLLE webbing and a top handle for quick control when needed.
Collapsible Water Bowl - https://bigdogthings.com.au/products/collapsible-dog-water-bowl
Staying hydrated is key, especially on warmer days or longer walks. This compact bowl clips easily to the backpack and folds down flat when not in use. Mack knows the drill now - when I pull out the bowl, he knows it’s drink time.
Ball Holder - https://bigdogthings.com.au/products/ball-holder-clip
This one’s a game-changer. No more soggy tennis balls in your pocket or juggling toys in your hands. The ball holder clips straight onto the backpack and keeps your dog’s toy secure and easy to grab when it’s playtime.
It’s one of those small touches that makes a big difference.
“In Training” Patch - https://bigdogthings.com.au/collections/velcro-patches
Sometimes it helps to let others know your dog is working. The “In Training” patch attaches via Velcro and gives other dog owners a visual cue to give your dog space. Whether you’re working on focus, obedience, or managing reactivity, this is a subtle but helpful tool.
We also stock a range of other patches to suit your dog’s personality or training status—so you can swap them out depending on the situation.
Why It Works?
The Big Dog Backpack Bundle isn’t just about gear—it’s about making every outing smoother and more enjoyable.
Mack gets to carry his own supplies (which gives him a sense of purpose), and I get to focus on the walk, the training, or the adventure—without constantly fumbling with extras.
It’s a simple setup that gives you freedom, structure, and functionality—all packed into one bundle.
