Outward HoundOutward Hound DayPak Blue Dog Saddleback Backpack, Large

This vest is great for hiking. My dog appeared comfortable & had no issues wearing on a long hike. Was able to hold all her essentials like poop bags, extra leash & fold up water bowl.

I got this to use on walks with my high energy lab/pointer rescue mix. We live in the city and regular leash walks, no matter how long, don't begin to cut it. I read that using weighted backpacks is a great way to increase the efficiency of the walk and tire them out more easily. I got this today and really like it! The two belly straps means it doesn't slide around at all on the dog, and the side pockets are actually quite large, with very reflective patches. The bottom zippers are merely to increase the pouches' expandability. The only thing I don't get is why there is a D ring to clip a leash because the end of the backpack falls right in the center of the dog's back, so you'd be trying to get control from their mid-section. Seems weird to me... But either way the backpack is great. It is definitely not the most high end and high quality, but gets the job done without spending $50+ dollars. My dog is 65 pounds, lean and tall, and the large fits him well (with the belly straps tightened up pretty far).

I bought this backpack for a 6+ mile hiking trip and overall it held up amazingly. I have a 65 lb pit bull mix and I got the large and it fit him very well when it was adjusted to almost as tight as it could go. It was able to hold a normal plastic water bottle on each side, his poop bags, and a bag of food, with a little room to spare. There are also small pockets on the outside of the backpack which was nice, I kept my chapstick in one. One major issue was that the D ring that came on the pack broke within a couple of hours. Thank goodness we had his regular harness on underneath (and it hooks in the front) so it wasn’t too much of an issue, but if you have a strong dog that pulls I would not recommend using the D ring on this pack, it opened right up. If you have a harness that hooks on the back of your dog this pack will not work with it. Other than that I love this backpack, it stayed in place and didn’t lean to one side at all except for when his leash pushed it that way since it latches in the front, but still nothing major. The material is strong and didn’t leave any marks on my dog even though he was pulling a lot before the D ring broke. Overall would recommend this product if you have a harness that would work with it or a dog that doesn’t pull.

Have owned it for several months now and taken it out a couple times for hikes. My dog is a 75lbs shepherd mix who is pretty stout at the chest, with some adjustment to harness it fits perfectly and she has no problems with it. She actually likes it quite a bit and seems to feel important while wearing it haha. Not to mention she gets lots of compliments while wearing it (it is pretty cute with the bright color). Now that being said it does have some flaws. It does list heavily to one side unless you take care to perfectly balance the weight in both sides. Try matching water bottles on both side and try to keep their levels pretty close while using it. Also I wouldn't try to lift or hold a heavy dog by the handle. Or attach your leash to the harness itself, it is just not strong enough to be trusted like that. While climbing I grabbed the handle to help lift her while she climbed a large rock and immediately heard a tearing sound. I don't see any damage and I'll still use the pack. It works great to help her burn energy and keep my hands water bottle free. So for me I think it was worth the price even with its limits.Update: I've now owned this backpack for several years and still use it for every hike! I now own two more dogs and the backpack fits all of them with adjustments. The smallest dog is probably about 55-60lbs. She's a fairly small female pitbull mix with a broad chest. It also fits well on my athletic male Labrador who weighs about 70lbs, but has a much taller more slender frame than my two girls. It's held up well through the years and all 3 dogs have no problem with it. It actually seems to help my timid rescue dog's confidence when she wears it. Definitely worth the money!

I loved this backpack and so did my dog… Until it fell apart. It’s such a pretty color and so cute on him and seems pretty comfortable, but only had 10 days when it started to fray and the seams started to come apart. By the three-week mark you can see the huge tear completely in one pocket. unusable with items falling out. This was one walk a day, not even real hiking. I was just using it to wave him down I was just using it to wave him down. He’s carrying pretty ordinary stuff that a dog pack should be durable enough to handle. Food and water, pretty heavy but isn’t that the idea? i’m getting a replacement so I’ll try again on the off chance this was a dud, but if this one doesn’t last I will send it back for a full refund.UPDATE: got replacement, second one developed same tears and holes and worn spots within a week. Just carried simple water and food. Going back for refund. Really too bad.Update number two: i’m now on my fourth pack because this is the one my fosters Rescue insists on buying him even though they don’t last. I just added photos of packed number four and how completely it ripped. Buy this pack if you just want to keep adding to a landfill. Absolutely ridiculous that they can’t make this more adorable. What a waste

Calidad/precio buena, artículo bien terminado.La pega más importante es la del tamaño, pequeño tamaño las alfojas en si .Compre la talla large para perro grande pero en realidad es perfecta para un perro/a mediano,si lo que buscas es algo para paseos urbanos es perfecta, si lo que buscas es para senderismo de días o largas travesías pues la verdad es que no.La capacidad máxima aproximadamente 33cl x 2 en cada lado.Aún así es una buena compra,para las alfojas que hay en el mercado.

Now that we've used the pack, I'm really confused about some of the negative reviews here, so wanted to add my two cents, since the negative reviews almost stopped me from buying this. This is a fabulous day pack (we live downtown in a big city and it's perfect for our day trips and adventures, walking 1-3 hours on a normal terrain). It's a day pack, it's not advertised for use as a hunting or forest hiking pack, so I'm not sure why so many reviewers bought it for that purpose and then left bad reviews - there are more expensive and sturdy packs for those purposes. This pack does run a bit large - my boy is 37lbs and has a 24" chest, so according to the sizing charts a medium should fit him perfectly, however we had to tighten the medium a LOT and now the excess straps have to be wrapped and tucked in so they don't hang around his underbelly and trip him - I think a small would have fit him a lot better. It doesn't slide to the side as long as the weight in the pack is even on both sides, and it's VERY easy to put on and remove. I wasn't confused about the straps at all, like other reviewers were...it has the exact same type of adjustable straps as a human backpack has, and once the initial size adjustments are done, there are buckles on every strap to easily snap this on and unbuckle to remove it quickly and effortlessly. A lot of reviewers were critical about the pack sliding when their dog plays in it - we use this for walking distances in the city, and I remove it when we arrive at our destination, so my dog doesn't wear it when he's playing. The only negative feedback I have is that the straps can feel a bit rough rubbing against my dog's underbelly, so it would be nice if Outward Hound would consider adding a soft cover to protect the belly (like a seatbelt cover type material). However, this is an easy fix, if I sew on a piece of felt or cotton myself. A lot of people have complained about the D-ring coming off. I walk my dog with a collar/leash so cannot comment on the D-ring, since we'll never be using it. The materials are good quality and the straps are sturdy, and stay in place once they've been properly adjusted. Anyway, this is a fabulous purchase, if you buy it for the intended purpose. My dog seems comfortable wearing it, and the pockets are substantial enough to carry quite a few supplies, dishes, water, snacks, poop bags etc. It's everything I hoped it would be, and is fabulous for day trips around the city. I'm so pleased!

Our dog now carries water and food for her and our other dog on hikes and she loves her backpack. We've had problems in the past with harnesses pinching and rubbing her but this one is really adjustable and she's had no issues. She can run and leap freely while wearing this, even when carrying plenty of weight. Also she looks adorable in it. And it's very affordable compared to other options on the market! Recommend.

Ben fatto, ma scivola da un fianco all'altro mentre il cane cammina quindi alla fine non lo uso mai :/ Peccato perché la qualità è buona

Lieferung aus den USA dauerte 14 Tage, also i.O. Der Rucksack selbst ist für das Geld echt sehr gut! Verarbeitung Top und man kann es großräumig verstellen. Haben eine Akitadame mit ca. 28kg und Größe L. In jede Tasche passt leicht eine 1L Milchpackung. Das Ding ist genial. Wenn man die Taschen gleichmäßig belädt verrutscht es auch nicht. Allerdings würde ich die Leine eher an einem zusätzlichen Halsband anbringen, da sonst der Rucksack links oder rechts verrutscht.
