Keeping Dogs Safe on the Trail

We realized something that completely changed the way we think about hiking with our dogs.

One wrong move, one laceration, a ligament tear, or just pure exhaustion—these situations can cause a family hike to go from carefree to complicated—and even dangerous. Carrying a heavy dog several miles back to the trailhead isn't always feasible without some kind of support. When our customers started using their Trail Magik Kid Carriers to assist their dogs on the trail, we knew our innovative solution could be an essential safety tool for pet parents as well.

It works. It’s secure. And when you need it most, your Trail Magik can prevent you from injuring yourself trying to carry your dog in your arms. Our carrier supports your dog's weight, distributes the load comfortably, and lets you keep moving safely if your dog suddenly can’t walk another step.

Our mission is to create more joy on the trail, and to give little ones a rest when they need it. Even the furry ones.

How to Use the Trail Magik Kid Carrier for a Dog

Attach the Carrier

Clip the two bottom carabiners of the Trail Magik to the lower webbing on your backpack straps, then guide your dog into the carrier so they’re secure and comfortably positioned.

Load Your Dog

Thread and buckle the top strap through your backpack’s load-lifter webbing. Have it loose to start and fit the carrier with the webbing after the dog is in.

Check & Go

Make sure your dog’s airway is clear and limbs aren’t pinched. The adult’s arms should still support the dog’s upper body to ensure comfort and to avoid putting too much pressure on the stomach or chest area.

Please note: this harness is designed to be used in emergency situations as an evacuation plan for injured dogs. Use at your own risk.  It’ll carry some breeds better than others

Frequently Asked Questions:

What size of dog is Trail Magik best for?

The dog carrier works best for small to upper-medium sized dogs. Ideal size is dogs that are ~10-43 lbs.

I already have a backpack/pet carrier. Why would I need a Trail Magik?

Good question—here’s how this carrier adds value:

  • Lightweight emergency backup: If your dog gets injured, you can strap them in quickly.
  • Space saving: It’s much smaller and lighter than a full pet carrier you’d bring on an adventure, it’s so small, you won’t even notice it in your gear bag until you need it!
  • Versatility: Ideal for hikes, backpacking, and all outdoor adventures!
  • Comfort & effort saving: Regular dog carriers might be bulky, awkward, or heavy. This design lets you carry your pup in short bursts, while keeping your hands free and using a hiking backpack's support.
What kind of backpack do I need with my Trail Magik? Can I wear the Trail Magik Dog Carrier on its own?

Backpack requirements: You’ll want a hiking/backpacking pack with a sturdy waist belt and load lifter/upper strap webbing. The pack needs to handle the extra pull of having a dog attached up front. Testing was done on 30 Liters and larger.

On its own? No — this kind of carrier typically cannot support itself safely without being anchored to a backpack. The backpack’s straps & belt help distribute the weight so your shoulders and back don’t take too much strain.

Is the Dog Carrier safe? Has it had safety testing done on it?

Yes — safety is always our top priority. The Trail Magik Dog Carrier is designed for short-term rest breaks on the trail when your pup needs a little help or in emergency situations.

It’s built from durable, adventure-grade materials — strong webbing, quality buckles, and rugged fabric — but it’s not meant for extended carry or hands-free transport. The adult’s arms should still support the dog’s upper body to ensure comfort and to avoid putting too much pressure on the stomach or chest area.

Think of it as a trail assist, not a full-time ride — perfect for those “I can’t take another step” moments when your dog just needs a short lift before they’re ready to trot again OR a “we gotta get him back to the vehicle NOW” type of situation.
