Most pet carriers on the market cater to a one-size-fits-all model - especially when it comes to body shape. But Corgis, Dachshunds, and other long-backed breeds don't conform to this vertical design standard. Traditional dog carrier bags often force these dogs into cramped, upright positions, which can cause stress and discomfort, especially on longer journeys.

ibiyaya's Loafer Pet Backpack Carrier changes that narrative by introducing a horizontal layout engineered for canine ergonomics. This isn't just a comfort win for pets - it's a sales opportunity for retailers looking to tap into a loyal, fast-growing niche.

Purpose-built for the long-dog market and a profitable shelf.

The Loafer was developed in direct response to increasing demand from pet owners of long-bodied breeds. Corgis are now the 11th most popular dog breed in the U.S., and Dachshunds remain perennially loved. These breed communities are passionate, vocal, and loyal to brands that understand their dogs' unique needs.

For retailers and distributors, that means a high-conversion audience that actively seeks out specialized products - especially when those products offer both form and function. The Loafer pet backpack is designed to meet those expectations, while also standing out with its premium aesthetic and thoughtful detailing.

Features

• Ergonomic Horizontal Design: Unlike standard dog backpacks or upright cat carriers, The Loafer's extended body structure allows pets to stretch out naturally. Perfect for Dachshunds, Corgis, and cats who prefer lying down, it eliminates the stress of cramped travel.
• Modern Macchiato Beige Finish: A sleek, modern tone designed to appeal to fashion-forward pet parents. High perceived value, ideal for premium shelf placement.
• Travel-Optimized Features: Equipped with a fold-down steel frame, airline-friendly dimensions, a luggage sleeve, and durable materials, it's built for convenience - whether for local outings or international flights.
• Retail-Grade Durability & Cleanability: The outer shell is water-resistant and wipe-friendly, while the inner bed is fully removable and machine-washable. Retailers benefit from fewer returns and greater customer satisfaction.
• High Capacity & Versatility: Roomy enough to comfortably house two small pets or one medium-sized long-bodied dog. Ideal for multi-pet households and travel-savvy customers.

Why the loafer belongs in your product line:

• Niche Product with Broad Market Appeal: While it directly targets long-bodied dogs, The Loafer also functions as a premium cat backpack or spacious dog travel bag for a wide range of pets.
• Premium-Perceived Value, Premium Margin: The Loafer commands a higher price point without alienating everyday pet parents. It's an ideal upsell for customers already purchasing specialized breed products.
• Strong Visual Merchandising Impact: The unique horizontal layout and elevated design make it a standout item in-store or online. Its structure and styling naturally draw attention.
• Online Buzz and Community Endorsement: Enthusiastic breed communities create word-of-mouth momentum. Retailers can tap into this via social campaigns, unboxing videos, and influencer partnerships.

Loafer vs. Upright Carriers: Cater to Every Pet Personality

Upright dog carrier bags are still a great option for alert, active pets who prefer sitting or peeking out. But long-backed dogs - and even laid-back cats - prefer the spacious sprawl The Loafer allows.

By offering both upright and horizontal pet backpack carriers, retailers can meet a wider range of customer needs and sell through more SKUs with confidence.
