Water Backpack For Kids Questions
Is it good if I use a backpack to help my golden burn more energy?
We walk our golden for an hour (twenty minutes’ jogging included) on weekdays and at least two hours on weekends everyday. Still, I am concerned that the daily exercise is not enough for the two-year-old, exercise-demanding, 60-pound golden, since we don’t have a yard and just a three-year-old Pomeranian as its playmate when we are not home. So I am considering using a backpack to help my golden burn more energy on daily walks.
Here is my plan: from the beginning, I will put two bottles of water (approx 1.5kg) into the backpack; then I increase slowly the load to 2.5 kg.
What do you think?

Adding weight to a dog that may already be too heavy, and then exercising it at length regularly while wearing these weights will probably put more strain on the joints than make it lose weight. There’s no reason why you can’t do it occasionally, but I wouldn’t suggest that it be every time the dog is exercised. One of the big problems in overweight dogs is the risk of arthritis due to the joints carrying more weight than they should be. By habitually adding weight, you are putting the joints at even higher risk, over the long term. I think your best bet is to perhaps change the dog to a lite diet, and reduce the food intake. If you have problems with it eating the food of other pets, keep the dog away until any uneaten food is removed. If the dog seems overly hungry on the reduced amount of food, top it up with crated carrots, and add other vegetables. Also, giving the dog a bone to chew on will satisfy it’s urge to eat.
You need to approach the weight issue from these angles – less food, less calories, more exercise, and keep the added weights to perhaps once or twice a week. If there is a park you can take your dog to, to run with other dogs in the open where it can really go crazy, the other dogs will push it to exercise much longer than it would normally do, and you’ll find the dog is quite exhausted after an hour or two, and this will make a difference to the weight.
