Dog Carrier Backpack for Corgis and More: Meet The Loafer
A good dog carrier backpack isn’t just a way to move a pet from one place to another — it’s a small space that carries trust, comfort, and love. When we began developing The Loafer, we were thinking about all the Corgis, Dachshunds, and long-bodied pets who never quite fit into the “standard” backpack or carrier. Most designs assume a pet’s body should fit into an upright frame — but what if the pet’s body was built differently?That question started the story of The Loafer dog carrier backpack, a design that rethinks comfort from the ground up. It’s soft, horizontal, and shaped around the natural posture of long-backed dogs. And it quietly speaks to a larger shift in how people live and love today.
The Heart Behind The Design
More than ever, pets are family. In cities where apartments feel smaller and days move faster, pets give people the kind of companionship that slows life down again. They’re the ones who wait patiently by the door, or curl into your lap after a long day of work. That emotional bond — not trends or numbers — is what drives our designs at ibiyaya.
When we started working on The Loafer, we listened to hundreds of pet parents talk about how stressful travel can be for their long-bodied companions. One Corgi owner said her dog would “stand the whole flight because he couldn’t stretch.” That line stayed with us. The Loafer dog carrier backpack was built as an answer — not just a product idea, but a way to make those journeys feel easier for both sides of the leash.

Thoughtful Design, Real Comfort
Unlike most upright pet carriers, The Loafer’s horizontal structure lets pets lie naturally, easing strain on their spine and joints. This design isn’t just practical — it’s emotional. You can see pets relax when they’re inside, their bodies finally able to stretch out instead of adjusting to the bag.
Every detail supports that same intention:
- Horizontal comfort: Made for long-backed breeds like Corgis, Dachshunds, and even cats who love to sprawl.
- Macchiato beige finish: A neutral, comforting tone that fits naturally with modern interiors and travel gear.
- Travel-ready details: Foldable steel frame, luggage sleeve, and airline-approved size — ideal for long trips or short city hops.
- Everyday durability: Water-resistant exterior, washable bed, and easy-clean surfaces built for real life.
- Spacious and balanced: Roomy enough for two small pets or one long-bodied dog — perfect for families with more than one traveler.
Each design choice tells the same story: comfort doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be considered.
Part of a Bigger Conversation
When you think about what makes the pet industry so meaningful, it’s not just innovation — it’s empathy. Every dog carrier backpack we create begins with listening: to how people live, how pets move, how travel feels, and how comfort shows up in everyday details.
That’s also what makes partnerships matter so much. Our retailers and distributors aren’t just stockists — they’re storytellers too. They help shape how modern pet parents see and experience care. When they carry products like The Loafer, they’re helping people express love through design — quietly, beautifully, and with purpose.
Beyond The Loafer
Of course, not every pet fits the same lifestyle. Some dogs are explorers who love to look out from a taller frame, while others just want to stay close and calm. That’s why we also created the Denim Fun Lightweight Pet Backpack — a dog carrier backpack made for curious travelers who like to stay upright and see the world from their human’s shoulder.
There’s also the Ultralight Backpack Carrier, designed for daily commutes or quick outings, and of course, The Loafer — perfect for pets who prefer to stretch, rest, and take things slow.
Each of these designs — like The Loafer — carries the same core belief: that pets deserve comfort, and people deserve tools that make that care feel natural.

Built on Shared Values
If you spend time with our design team, you’ll notice something — they talk about pets the way most people talk about family. And that’s exactly what they are to us: family. Every new dog carrier backpack starts from empathy, not marketing metrics. We look for small ways to make life easier — a zipper that feels smoother, a strap that sits softer, a bed that actually feels like rest.
That attention to feeling, not just form, is what makes our partnerships special too. We work with people who believe that products can do more than sell — they can build trust, loyalty, and connection. Because in this industry, we’re not just moving products; we’re helping move stories of care.
The Bigger Picture
At the heart of The Loafer’s story is something universal — the desire to make our companions feel safe wherever life takes us. That’s what the dog carrier backpack represents: a bridge between function and emotion, a small space where comfort travels easily.
We know that retailers and distributors who partner with us share that same purpose — to bring comfort to people who see their pets not as accessories, but as loved ones. When you help a customer find the right backpack, you’re not just meeting a need; you’re giving them peace of mind.
A Gentle Promise
We often say that every product we make begins with a question: how can we make this feel right — for both of them?
The Loafer is one of our answers. And like every dog carrier backpack we create, it’s built from the simple idea that the best kind of care doesn’t have to shout — it just has to feel right.

If you’ve read this far, chances are you care about the same things we do — comfort, connection, and the quiet kind of trust that exists between people and their pets. That’s the heart of what we build, and it’s the kind of partnership we look for too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What inspired the creation of The Loafer dog carrier backpack?
The idea came from listening — to Corgi owners, Dachshund parents, and travelers who wanted their pets to feel at ease, not just contained. The Loafer began as a small design experiment to make journeys gentler for long-bodied dogs, and it evolved into a reflection of what modern pet care really means: empathy, not just utility.
Q2: How does ibiyaya test comfort and safety in its dog carrier backpacks?
Before any carrier reaches the market, it’s tested in real-life scenarios — daily walks, car rides, and even air travel simulations. Our team works with pet parents and animal behavior experts to make sure each backpack supports both comfort and security without adding unnecessary stress to the pet.
Q3: Are ibiyaya’s dog carrier backpacks suitable for older or special-needs pets?
Yes. Many pet parents use The Loafer and similar backpacks for aging dogs or pets recovering from injury. The horizontal layout, soft bedding, and easy-access openings make it easier for pets who need gentle support while still staying close to their humans.
Q4: How can retailers share The Loafer’s story with customers?
The best way is to focus on how it feels rather than what it does — talk about the calm it gives pets who used to struggle in upright carriers. Share real stories or invite pet owners to test it in-store. Authentic moments build stronger trust than product features ever could.
Q5: What materials or craftsmanship details set ibiyaya apart?
We design with everyday life in mind — water-resistant fabrics, washable liners, reinforced stitching, and hardware that’s made to last. But beyond the materials, it’s the mindset that matters: everything is built to last, but also to feel good in daily use, for both pet and person.
