Outward Hound PoochPouch Dog Sling, Blue

My 17 pound (whatever she is )can rest in the nook of my arm while I kiss and pet her lovely head. If one arm tires, the other is available. When she chooses to walk she lets me know. After all my ridiculous research on this solution to my arthritic dogs walks, I lucked out. It is the simplicity of the design., that stands out.

My 9 pound Yorkie loves it. I put it over my shoulder, bend over and he jumps right in. But he also loves to go go go. When we get back, I bend over he jumps out. He fits perfectly (with a little extra room) and even though it's open he's not scared, he likes to hang his leg over the side, even though I don't like it. There's a clip that attaches to the collar that will keep him secure if he decides to jump, which he hasn't. I would think it would be good for dogs less than 15 pounds and great for crowds, don't have to worry about him being stepped on and he can see everything going on.

This looks to be a nice carrier. however I needed one for a dog that's two pounds, this was way to big for him and he was scared of it, so I can't use it. It would be good for pets over eight pounds. I Gave it three star because I couldn't use it.

I bought this to carry my dachshund/terrier puppy who is 13 lbs. I felt that the sling was well constructed and she was comfortable and secure. The overall length of the sling was what I had a issue with- it was too long and uncomfortable for me to wear. My pup wanted to be closer to the front end of the sling, and it put quite a bit of pressure on my neck and shoulder. This particular style just didn’t work out for us.

I was disappointed - I have an 11 week old wiggly mini labradoodle who weighs less than 10lbs and did not like this sling maybe because he did he feel secure. It wasn't a question of the size of the sling either. It's long and wide, but the sides seem rather shallow. I did not find the clip arrangement intuitive and in fact he kept wiggling enuf to slide out. Not worth the struggle for either us. It's a donation for someone else to try.

Got one for Maggie and she sits in it like an old time train engineer hanging her arm/leg out the window. Very relaxing for her to be carried with us on a walk. It has security attachments for a harness inside to prevent jumping out of it too.

Got this for our 20lb cocker spaniel. We take the dog on rides in our UTV. My wife usually holds her on her lap. We got this to make the dog more comfortable and secure. We just put the dog in the sling and over my wife's shoulder and on her lap. We feel alot safer this way. Quality and design seem very good. The folks at Chewy were extremely helpful as usual. Highly recomend the product and Chewy

I have a 10lb yorkie mix. I got a medium that way she would have enough room. It’s hard to get her in it and pick it up. The best way is to put it on first place the dog inside slide it to the front to put the buckle on. Half the time I don’t even buckle her because it’s uncomfortable to her. It serves its purpose but I’m keeping an eye out for another style.

This was a waste of money. Misleading regarding the size of dog it can accommodate and the sides barely come up at all, so the dog is frightened and thinks it's going to fall. I haven't used it once since I bought it.

My dog took a while to get used to it. At first he wanted his legs out but then he learned to sit down in it. It is well padded but it is hot for summer hikes. Needs more ventilation.
