Outward Hound DayPak Blue Dog Saddleback Backpack, Medium

These packs are great to give your dog a job on a walk or have him carry his own supplies on a hike. The pouches feel a little small if you have a large dog, I assume to dissuade people from overloading them. I've had the first outward hound backpack I bought for over a decade and got more just in case I get more dogs...

My dog has been learning how to carry this and I am so proud of her. I pack about 8 to 10 lb in it and so far it's been holding up pretty good. It stays in place if you secure it pretty well. I think it's a little expensive for what you get but compared to the other products out there I have been pretty happy with it. We're planning to do some hikes and if she can carry her own weight 8 lb off my back means I can carry a heavier tent.

Purchased this for the my growing puppy & wanted something inexpensive due to the fact that she will grow out of it. Overall, I am pleased with the dog pack with the only criticism, which is, I wish the D-ring was on the other side of the pack - aka closer to the neck for easier control of the dog.

This could have SO easily been a 5⭐ review, unfortunately, I received the "nonconformer," not a 5⭐ item.I'll update rating & review depending on seller response.So, first let me say - I DO LOVE THIS! When I first opened the Amazon package, the only way I could foresee it being better, would've been if it was pink. It was packaged exactly as it would be if purchased in a retail store. Brand spanking new!And then....1st - When I first put it on her, the bottom side was twisting weird on her neck/chest and gouging the thick, stiff nylon into her flesh. When I took it off of her, After 20 minutes of trying to figure out why... I realized the bottom part was not only threaded into the sides upside down, but backwards as well. So, I fixed that, (with a huge eye roll and WTH sigh..) and finally got it to a point I could start adjusting the straps. That's when I realized the next issue.2nd - It's oversized! Originally, I thought maybe these run large, and I needed a medium. That thought quickly dissapated, here's why. My girl has a girth of 27-28. Mfg recommends going up a size if between or unsure. Based on their size chart, 28 is a large, so I logically went with a large. I had to completely cinch down, every single adjustment...... Which in turn, placed every single "discomfort" (buckles, adjusters, etc) on the sensitive areas of her body.Adding the 20 minutes fixing freak issue #1, to the 30 minutes sizing it to her. I've spent almost an hour on what generally takes me 5 minutes when one of my girls gets a new harness. I finally get it adjusted to a happy medium; not as tight as it should be, but workable. Or so I thought.3rd - When we went out for our walk, I had to stop 4 or 5 times, within 45-60 minutes to tighten everything back up, because it would start moving to one side. As annoying as all of the above were... NOTHING could prepare me for the next (and final) issue.4th - Within the first 10 minutes of, not only our walk, but of even having a leash attached, the D-ring falls out. YES!! FELL OUT! How does that even happen? I should mention, it happened at the ONLY spot in our trail that's near ANY vehicle traffic - and it's a high traffic highway.I'd love to post a picture of the D ring, heck I'd love to see it for myself! But we were in 18" of snow when it happened. Fortunately.. I carry carabiner clips with me and was able to attach her leash back to the harness. But for several minutes, (several minutes too long), both of my girls' safety was in extreme jeopardyAttaching the carabiner clip through the narrow space, now vacated by the D-ring, was no cake walk. Especially while trying to hold dog 1 by her harness handle and the retractable leash handle for dog 2.Had I not taken a few hours between that walk and this review...this would have been 6 MUCH different review.Bottom line... There's always a few bad pcs in every lot run of any manufactured product. I got one of those; the exception, not the rule.Honestly.. sizing/fit aside, had the D-ring issue not happened, I'd have most likely rated it 5⭐ and not typed a single word in this box.But I got lucky and both of my girls are safe & sound & snoring! If the D-ring used on my harness is from a defective lot, other Pawrents need to know to check theirs!

The packs are small. However, they do work. I just got by it fitting on my 35 lb. dog straps are too big and cutting down will not make it fit better.

My dog has been on two walks with this, and while she doesnt seem to mind carrying it, she DOES mind when the straps start to loosen and it starts flopping everywhere. The only way the straps are held in place is through like a slide method, I cant explain but like other reviewers stated, they become loose fairly easily. This causes it to slip and slide off, thus causing my dog to lose concentration. I noticed that compared to other reviews the leash ring was redone and it is now more sturdy, this is great HOWEVER there should be two options on where to hook the leash, on the top, and on the bottom. Its hard to get her to follow us instead of pulling us when the hook is in the back. I'm hoping that MAYBE as she gets older and a little more full and gains more weight, maybe some of these issues will be remedied. IF they do i have no issue editing this review.

I'll start off with the good:1. It's really cute2. Has lots of room for stuff.3. Is easy to put onThe bad:1. It gets lopsided constantly if either side weighs more than the other2. The handle nor the metal clip will hold up if your dog is a puller3. It did not take long to rip, I used the handle a few times to hold on to my dog and one of the pouches completely ripped. I'll update with a picture if I remember to.All in all, it's not a bad harness but it is NOT a good fit if your dog is not leash trained, and is not good to leash train big dogs.

I like the mesh / lightweight construction of the pack, but unfortunately the buckle straps regularly loosen on their own. Which causes rotation, sliding and possible rub spots.

Relación precio-calidad correcta. La petaca es ideal para llevar cosas como alimento, platos o juguetes pequeños en las salidas tanto a parques como al campo. Solo hay que ajustarla de manera correcta al cuerpo del perro y cuidar de guardar el mismo peso de cada lado para evitar el desequilibrio de la petaca.

Ben fatto, ma scivola da un fianco all'altro mentre il cane cammina quindi alla fine non lo uso mai :/ Peccato perché la qualità è buona

Great product! Huge improvement from my husky's last backpack in terms of comfort and fitting. It is lightweight and he doesn't mind wearing outside of walk time too. Easy to adjust sizing but may take a little time to acclimatise dogs not used to backpacks (requires them to fit leg and head through loops).Here he is carrying 1kg of baked beans.

背中部分のメッシュと胸当てが気に入りこの商品にしました。ポケットはかなり大きいのでペットボトルや折りたたみ傘も余裕で入り、荷物が増えても下のファスナーを開けてマチを広げることが出来ます。リードを引っかけるリングが持ち手の後ろに付いていますが、、前に付いていた方が犬をコントロールしやすいと思います。それとベルト調節で、余ったベルトがブラブするのは、ベルト通しが無いことが原因です。このバックパックに犬の物、自分の物全部詰め込んで、手ぶらで散歩出来るようになりました。

Quick delivery, reasonably priced and great quality. I ordered the Large size for my petite rottweiler and it's a great fit.
