For the Active Lifestyle
Outward Hound offers outdoor performance gear so your pup can join you on the trails, in the water and on the go. Whether you are packing for a weeklong camping trip or planning a day-cation at the lake, the variety of Outward Hound products and sizes will keep the smallest Terrier or largest sporting dog outward bound. Simple to use and designed to withstand nature's toughest challenges, Outward Hound will keep you moving forward without slowing down you or your adventurous pup.


Carrying Their Weight
The Outward Hound DayPak allows your four-legged friend to pack his own bags and hop in the car or run alongside you on the tree-lined path. With room for treats, food and toys, your dog will feel right at home wherever your adventure may lead you. For smaller pups whose legs tire easier, the Outward Hound PoochPouch allows them to feel the sun on their snouts and wind in their ears while sitting along for the ride. This front-body carrier straps against your chest for hands-free dog and owner comfort.
Dining Out(doors)
For a trip to the dog park or a day spent training outdoors, Outward Hound's got everything you need. Port-a-Bowl is a waterproof and collapsible bowl designed for food and water on the go, and it's made to fit in your pocket when not in use. The Outward Hound Treat Pouch is a portable and convenient way to reward your dog in style. This sleek bag is made from water-resistant material with a mesh outer pocket that makes it easy to store your dog's favorite treats and gives him something to wag his tail about.


Staying Safe on the Water
Outward Hound's Life Jacket will keep your dog safe and secure while wading in the shallow end and splashing around in the deep. Perfect for a relaxing canoe ride, a sandy day on the beach or a weekend fishing trip, these vests will keep any size dog comfortable in and out of the water with adjustable buckles that create a perfect fit. The front float design keeps his head above water, and the multiple easy-grab handles allow you to pull him out of the water in a moment's notice.

Not TTS - too small
By JenChar on Feb 23, 2021
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.

Love this size small Puppy Pouch!
By KeyWestChickie on Feb 5, 2021
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!

Not practical
By Scott on Feb 16, 2021
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.

Not proportioned correctly for dog size/weight
By LoveACT on Jan 16, 2021
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.

Design flaw
By Hiker on Jan 17, 2021
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.

Cozy Way to Travel
By Debbie on Feb 4, 2021
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.

Defective Seam
By Miriam on Feb 3, 2021
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?

Didn't last
By None on Feb 24, 2021
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.
