OneTigris Cotton Canvas Dog Backpack, Brown

I orginally bought this because of Cesar Milan's book which said to put weight on the dog while you walk him. I put a can of beans on each side for my 46 pound mutt. It was so hot in the summer, I couldn't bear to see him carrying it for 20 minutes with the hot weather. Then one day, he went back to refusing to go for a long walk. He only walks for a block now. Maybe someday in the future he will go for long walks again, and I will try the backpack again. One thing I don't like about it is it is not machine washable. I also don't remember that the instructions allowed hand washing it. ?!

It fits my 78 lb dog great. It's comfortable for him and stays balanced most of the time. Pockets are large enough to hold several water bottles on each side. It also looks so stylish on him.

I have a stocky 60lb American Pit Bull Terrier with sensitive skin and this pack fits him fantastically! It doesn’t rub him raw or get in the way of him sitting, jumping, or running. It’s thoughtfully designed and a great size to fit his toys, collapsible bowl, and other adventure necessities. One minor drawback is that the back strap that goes around the waist can’t be tightened so that it fits closer to the body if you have a smaller/small waisted pup. But the bag is already pretty well balanced and fitted elsewhere so for us it doesn’t matter.

I would put this under the name saddle bags. I love this thing! He carries his own poo bags and poo! I also put a couple pounds of weight in the bags cause he needs to lose a couple pounds :)

Overall: If you're taking your pup hiking this is ok. The velcro won't last too long before losing it's stick, so don't count on the outside pockets. For more strenuous activities than hiking, this pack won't really cut it. I got this pack for my adventure buddy 50% so she could pack in her own food and water, 50% so she could pack out her own poop. The side pockets fit her water bottles, (28? oz gatorade bottles) food and bowl. They're pretty maxed out there, but it's all I needed to put in them. The side pockets are for her poop bags, and they work ok. The velcro doesn't last a year, so I'm back to packing her bags out for her.

You definitely have to keep the pockets balanced, so I'll usually pour a little from each water bottle bottle into her bowl when we stop for a drink. I love to trail run and do some low angle spring ski touring with her, and I was hoping this pack would be good for those, too. It's been alright for the ski touring, but it's too hot for her to run in in the summer. (she's a GSD, Husky, and Chow mix, that I know of) This was a nice proof of concept, but I think I'm going to go with a pack that breathes better and has removable side pouches. We used a different harness when ran an 1/2 marathon with a few river and alpine lake stops for her to swim and cool off, and I definitely don't think she could have done it in this pack. To fit this right I had to synch the straps down pretty snug which left a lot of tail dangling down. Aside from it just getting dirty it's not much of a problem. If I had a decent sewing machine and any handiness with it, I would cut them shorter and resew the ends so they don't drag on the ground. … more

I bought this for my dog (knowing it would be too big for her skinny build). I'm currently trying to alter it to fit her. All of the materials seem to be good quality.

Very good quality and looks great too! My only gripe is I wish that the side pockets with the velcro strap were a bit more secure. If the object is too small, it wiggles its way out.

Fits my husky perfectly and he wears it so proudly on his walks.

I looked for weeks to find a sturdy pack back for my recently adopted shelter dog. I kept coming back to this one. I’m disabled so I am training him to be my service dog. The canvas is strong and the large pockets enable me to put my personal items in them and the zippers insure that my items are secure. I have owned multiple back packs over the years having been a Certified Dog Trainer. This is the only one that won’t slide off to the side b/c there are loops around the neck straps to hold it steady. The price is unbelievably low for the design and materials. I highly recommend this.

My shepard adores this. She bounces when she walks in it.
