Outward Hound PoochPouch Dog Front Carrier, Gray

Says for medium dogs up to 20lbs. My Westie is 20lbs so I thought I could be possibly snug compared to other reviews where owners have space to pack a blanket, but it s not really close at all to working. It hits at about the bottom of his rib cage when I put him in and I have to hold him for him to not fall out the front. The pic is pretty funny - but I hope it’s helpful to you if you’re ok the edge. Chewy was amazing in helping us get it returned to try something different.

What a great little carrier! Very well made and plenty of room for my 3 pound girlie, her blanket and the small teddy bear she takes with her everywhere. Also, room for my personal essentials in the front zipper compartment so no need to carry a purse. Super fast delivery too, just in time for the weekend. Chewy and Outward Hound never fail to please me! Thanks once again!

First this was made for a very small petite person. I am 6’3 and 220 lbs. so the straps weren’t long enough to wrap around my body. Second it states it’s for dogs up to 12 lbs. I have a Shih Tzu puppy who weighs 8 pounds and it was too small for him. Unless you have a toy dog under 5 lbs and you are small framed, I would not buy this product.

I got this for my 10.5 lb Chihuahua-Terrier mix so he could take a break on longer walks/hikes. I bought the Medium-sized bag because the description said that is could hold dogs up to 20 lbs. My dog barely fit in this, so I can't imagine any larger/heavier dog fitting in this at all. Also, I can't imagine carrying a 20 lb. dog in this because of the way the thin straps are set up. I would think this would put too much weight on someone's shoulders/low back. My dog really disliked going in this because it was so snug on him (his bum squished against one of the sides uncomfortably). Once I had the backpack on, I couldn't put him in it on my own. It's not long or wide enough to fit his body comfortably I got this for my 10.5 lb Chihuahua-Terrier mix so he could take a break on longer walks/hikes.

It is, however, deep enough, so smaller dogs may not fit in this sized bag comfortably either, because the sides would be too tall for the dogs' heads to poke out. … more

The backpack carrier came just as was pictured. Appeared to be a great product. Got for my little 5 lbs. Zguy who was never trained to walk on a leash. Have not tried it out yet but think it will work well. Service and delivery from Chewy was great also.

Overall I like this product but i think it has a design flaw in the shoulder straps. If you cross them in the back as the design intends, the cross creeps up to the back of the wearers neck and all the pressure is on the back of your neck. If you do not crisscross them in the back the straps fall off your shoulders. I had to improvise and put a strap in the back between the two shoulder straps, not crisscrossing shoulder straps and that way the weight you carry is balanced and not all on your neck.

Just purchased the Pooch Pouch Dog Front Carrier in Gray for our new 7 week old Puppy. She is a mini Doxie and LOVES her new carrier. IT is so easy to get her in and out of. Her blanket fits in the bottom with no problem. SHe stays comfortable, warm, and cozy when she goes places with me. The perfect Front Carrier. So glad I purchased this for her.

The adjustable tie to secure your pup in the bag is defective at the seam. It broke off at first use and Chewy was kind enough to replace it at no further cost. But the second bag had the same defective tie. I do not recommend this bag because of the defective seam. On the other hand, if you have a sewing machine perhaps it can be repaired?

This worked great for a while. My dog is 11 lbs. and had to work up to it not hurting my shoulders/back. then the pull elastic broke and can't close it up around him any more. Made me very sad. I liked it till then.

I am beyond happy with this purchase. The price alone is amazing compared to similar items! My dog is on that 10lb line and she fits great in this! She loves it & so do I. It’s very comfortable and feels secure for the both of us. we can’t wait put this through good use!
