Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions


I am interested in the experience of purchasers of this front pack for dogs weighing around 18 pounds. Do you find the pack comfortable for you and your pup?. I have an 18 lb corgipom and would like to use this in places where dogs aren’t allowed. Does anyone have experience with this?


Does the bottom have a insert for support so the dog can sit up and not sag in the bag?

Answer by ChewyAug 09, 2022
There is a support at the base but it is not removable. Your dog should be able to sit up and not sag in the PupPak.

Is there a clip on the straps that can connect them together when worn to alleviate pressure?

Answer by ChewyAug 03, 2022
The straps should cross at the back and clip to the waist on the opposite site. Please refer to the picture included below.

Can this also be used as a car seat where the back can be attached to a seat belt?

Answer by ChewySep 23, 2022
This carrier would not be suitable for use as a car sear.

I got this to take my puppy outside until she’s gotten all her vaccinations. It’s very comfortable and she got used to it super quickly, however I wish I’d gotten the bigger size. She’s only 6lbs but when she stands up in the bag she’s almost completely out of it.

Almost perfect

I wanted a front carrying backpack for my cat. I was looking for more comfort for me because I usually use a regular backwards facing backpack carrier in the front

I wanted a front carrying backpack for my cat. I was looking for more comfort for me because I usually use a regular backwards facing backpack carrier in the front. She’s 11 pounds so I was looking for something that sat purposefully across my back to help me carry her without pain. My back doesn’t hurt with this, but my front sure does! The board in the bottom just digs right into your stomach in a painful way. I think this is going to have to go back unfortunately. So close :(

My chihuahua mix is 13.6 pounds. This is the 3rd carrier I have purchased. It fits her well; however, she is heavy whether in a sling or front pack. I think

My chihuahua mix is 13.6 pounds. This is the 3rd carrier I have purchased. It fits her well; however, she is heavy whether in a sling or front pack. I think a softer bottom for the front pack might be a tad better.

Not well balanced

It kind of spills her out so she can’t really snuggle against my body, but it’s okay for very short distances. Not well balanced. She doesn’t like it

Well made but not great

We really wanted a dog carrier we could wear on the front and not back, for security and to make sure our pup didn't escape. But this did not secure her or make her or us safe...It is just tough to use a carrier on the front when biking. Very bulky and not secure.

best front pack

Hard bottom makes it easier for pet to move around and get comfortable. Easy to wear and keeps your hands free.

Love the adjustable shoulder straps and the additional waist strap to make sure my pup feels secure. Really like the mesh sides that allow her to see out and get some air. The only thing needed to make it a five star would be a pocket. Overall a great product!
