Dog Saddle Backpack

Preface by notifyng that my pack is brand new, so a review based in the field for longevity is still due. Straight to the point: this is simply a solid, durable, well-fitted dog pack. Pockets are spacious, just as their dimensions list. Easily fit a container of water, a container of kibble, and a dog bowl on each side with room to spare for a few other essentials like keys, dog waste bags, etc. Zippers glide smooth and do not feel flimsy and subpar. Stretch cords on the outside offer even more carrying options like maps, towels for drying off, doggie boots, etc. Very subtle but handy grommet hole, about the size of a pencil eraser, at the bottom of the pocket to perhaps allow for drainage of any spilled or leaked liquids. The inner pocket straps may be useful for storage but I personally believe they would have been better as actual side pocket compartments. Not a big issue. The ring attached to the top of the pack, to my pleasant surprise, is not plastic but hardy metal. This can be utilized as a leash attach point, dog coupler attach point, keys attach point, etc. All tie cords are finished off very professionally. Stitching all appears solid without loose ends or ripped strands. Material to the touch is very durable and resistant, a very pleasing and neutral shade. Product is not overly bulky as some dog packs can become and did not slip to the side when one pocket became lighter. Chest and under-body straps all fit just as dimensions listed and secured well without coming loose at any point. I only think it would have been helpful to have a way to better keep the excess strap length out of the way, but it did not hinder much with my particular dog. Overall, the quality and price add up, and if this pleasing pack holds up over time and abuse (or should it get lost, chewed up or otherwise ruined) I would gladly order another. I hope this full review was helpful and if so give it a positive hit! Special thanks to my golden girl rescue pup model ;)

Excellent product, terrible name. I would buy it again. I got a medium for my 48lb aussie female and its a pretty food fit. The elastic gear retaining system is good. The pockets fit two disc golf discs each but its tight. The stitching is good.

This is a sturdy, cute pack for my hiking buddy. I love that my high energy companion can carry his snacks, my snacks, some toys, and a water bowl on whatever adventure we're on. The weight appears to be evenly distributed across his shoulders, and he doesn't seem to mind me putting it on. The one thing that bothers me is that the front straps of the backpack loosen throughout an activity. Because of that, I've had to clip the leash to both his harness and the backpack, and I feel like that reduces the comfort of the pack on him, as the weight and loading shifts further down his body. Regardless, this is a decent, moderately priced dog backpack with a lot of storage that's perfect for this solo hiker and her loyal companion.

Great durable backpack for our mid size huskies!! Our female is smaller so we could have sized down for her but were able to make it work by tightening the strap as much as possible then we just cut off the extra strep we didn’t need. Holds snacks, poop bags and wet wipes for muddy paws. Plus we loved that they felt secure and like the dogs couldn’t get out of them. Easy to travel and store! A little pricey but worth the money for the durability!

Well designed and durable. Dries well without odor after the dog has jumped in the river wearing the pack. Adequate pocket sizes for storage. The slip in slot over the pack fits a can of bear spray or a 20 oz travel Coffee mug well.

Nice bag, but it moves to one side or another unless perfectly balanced with weight on each side.

I got this for my male service dog. It was exactly what I needed. His old vest was too high and getting a little small. I first tried this out on the day my car died. I only had a small purse so the pockets were a life saver. The car had to be towed, so anything I needed to take with me filled his pockets. The handle is easy to grab and hold onto. I don't use the clip on the harness for my leash but it is perfect for my inhaler's carabiner It sits far enough on the back to help with balance but not so far back that the strap covers his wee wee. I will be ordering another for my other service dog because I am impressed with the quality and the durability of this. I'm not saying your dog can chew on it and it won't break. I am saying this is one of the best pocketed vests I have ever found. Would recommend. Warning it can be a little scary to your dog at the beginning so let them get used to it. Their head has to slip into it then you Velcro and buckle on waist. If you dog isn't used to the sounds it can be jarring so let them hear, see and smell it so they know it won't hurt them. Just my advice.

I got the large size for my 62 lbs border collie mix. It’s very easy to adjust, durable, and can hold a lot of items. If you are using it for a working dog/training/hiking please be sure to work your way up adding any weight on slowly! To the reviews saying they don’t believe it’s safe enough to use as a harness alone— I could not DISAGREE more. My dog can be a bit of a “puller” and I can’t imagine a world where he could slip out of this or any part of it would snap off. It’s easily his favorite “harness” to wear, so I even put it on him for casual walks at home. Sometimes he walks into things because he isn’t used to the added width along his sides but he’s getting used to it haha. It’s very easy to get on him, a great fit, and as a “working dog” I know he enjoys the occasional added weight; making him feel like he has a job to do. ONLY complaints: - The front chest straps are extra long and just kind of hang after you adjust them tight to size, so you have to figure out what to do with that excess on your own. I may personally just cut it off/burn it, and hope he doesn’t gain any weight lol - Occasionally I find it hanging heavier off one side of his body and find myself tugging it back to center of his back. It’s not off by much but enough to notice. This happens even when there’s nothing inside so I’m not sure it’s due to uneven weight distribution, the leash tugging it to one side, or if it’s simply just something that will inevitably happen as I’ve seen other reviews mention it as well. If it doesn’t bother him it shouldn’t bother me. But a slightly off-center harness is very hard to ignore 🤪

This is the best harness I’ve ever bought. It is very adjustable, and I could tell it would fit much larger dogs, but also adjusts snugly and comfortably for my medium sized pooch. It slips over the dogs head, with a padded adjustable chest strap that sits below the neck, actually on the chest. The undercarriage belt has a loop and hook padded strap, with a clasping belt over top, like a comfortable workman’s belt, or hiking backpack. The emergency handle on top is great, and the leash ring seems very sturdy (though not metal), they both sit well back from the neck, It’s amazing how unrestrictive it seems. My dog also carries her own ball/chuckit, poop bags, water, and she will carry her own food when we go backpacking this summer 🤠 check out the video I posted to see how the pack performs when she chases the ball. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the pack, and my dog seems to like it, even though she has hated all other harnesses and promptly removed them (or attempted to), this one stays on, and she doesn’t try to take it off, at all. I’m just honestly flabbergasted at how good this is. If you’re thinking about it, just get it, there’s no way there’s a better one.

My husky has discovered how to escape this harness. Great for carrying things but it's not waterproof and gets smelly when wet (wet dog smell)

Quality material, colour as represented in image. Adjustable size, good for medium to large dog. Fits my Labrador Retriever who is a little on the lean side. He still has to adapt to the feel of having it on his back as well as ensure the weight carried is equal on both sides. But once adjusted he feels more secure and comfortable.

It is easy to adjust the straps, lots of pockets and elastic holders. Not big enough to carry a sitting stool however.

Buen accesorio. Amplió.
