Outward Hound DayPak Green Dog Saddleback Backpack, Medium

This pack is not quite as well made as the ruffwear pack I bought for my much larger dog, however for the price(almost $60 cheaper), this is a very well made pack. I like the expandable pockets that allow my dog to carry more on longer day hikes but keeps the packs close and out of the way when she's carrying a smaller/lighter load. It stays nicely balanced on her as long as I make sure to equally distribute the weight among the packs, and we've never had an issue with chaffing. I love how easy it is to put on her and she gets excited and ready to work as soon as she sees me grab the pack. The color is nice for being outdoors because it makes us super visible and therefore more safe in the event of an emergency. I also appreciate the top handle; it's comfortable and sturdy and has come in handy on more than one occasion for helping her into a low spot or out of the creek. I definitely recommend this light wear pack for getting into hiking and/or used for training.

*UPDATE* it’s been almost a year later and it’s still going strong! No rips or tears and it’s been through everything from swamps to dense woods! ** I bought this for my 60lb shepherd mix and was nervous because his measurements fell right on the borderline between a medium and a large! I am happy I went with the large though because it fit perfectly and it will still have enough room to expand if he grows more! Upon looking it over I notice that the stitching along the side is a bit flimsy so I may end up stitching along the sides myself to strengthen it. I’m hoping it holds up though because this will really come in handy as he is a therapy dog and whenever we go someplace, I need to take all his supplies with us like treats, water bottles, poop bags, and etc and the expandable pockets will make it so he can help me with carrying some of his supplies! Our first big outing where I’ll be using this pack is this weekend so I will post an update if I come across any negatives but so far I’ve got high hopes for this cute pack! Rambo definitely approves of it and moves normally while wearing it as if it were just a regular harness! Comfort is important for my boy as I need him to be happy while hes out making others happy!

Kind of cheap feeling. After a handful of uses, the D ring on the back (that you hook the leash onto) just came out while going for a walk and got lost. T'was a shame. All in all, it has a nice amount of pocket space evenly distributed. Pup looks cute in it. Also, has a nice size handle on the back, though I'm not sure how the strong the stitching is. We'll see.

The media could not be loaded. My girl is 51 pounds, very long legged and lean border Collie/blue heeler mix. She is super athletic, and does very long hikes with me up to 25 miles at a time. Needless to say, carrying water for both of us has been a chore on me! I was thinking a lightweight packet that doesn’t take up too much space on her body, which could hold to water bottles and food, and something that wouldn’t drive her crazy.This pack is the perfect fit. It’s very streamlined wh this pack is the perfect fit. It’s very streamlined and holds just enough for an overnight trip.My dog is still able to run around like normal, and only had to learn that she had to adjust her clearance when racing around trees! I took a little while to get the PAC adjusted perfectly, but once it got dial then, we were good to go. Absolutely cannot beat the price. It’s super well-made and durable. Definitely worth trying out!

This is a decent pack if you're not expecting something terribly high quality. The large fits my 70 lb Doberman puppy well, seems to be comfortable, and I like the green color. The pockets are nice and large and have lots of room. It attaches to the underlying harness pretty securely, yet despite being evenly loaded it does shift during use. It doesn't seem to bother my dog so I consider that a minor grievance. My biggest complaint is that after a few months, the webbing on the harness is tearing near the D ring. My puppy isn't a great leash walker yet, so I walk him on a prong collar with the leash threaded through the D ring to keep it from getting tangled under his legs. The D ring hasn't taken any great strain so it is surprising to me that the webbing is tearing already. I have seen nearly the EXACT harness at Petsmart for sale under the brand Top Paw for forty dollars. If I had paid that price, I would be highly disappointed with this pack. However, for under $20, it does the job and is perfectly passable. Just have reasonable expectations for it.

For the money this pack was a awesome deal. I bought two, one for our black lab and one for our Golden Retriever. The large adjusted to fit each of our boys just right and each pocket had plenty of room for a 16 oz plastic water bottle, collapsible water bowl, and some snacks. The only issue I had with them was not really and issue with the pack but just physics. As we gave the boys drinks the water bottles got out of balance in the packs making the packs to list to one side. I think had we used the two bottles from one pack to give each a drink that would have helped keep the weight better balanced. I don't see a real easy solution to that one as horses have the same issue with saddle bags. There is just no real easy way to hard mount bags to animals LOL Our boys did not seem to mind the packs that much. Our lab did seem a bit miffed that they interfered with his full body shake and once he figured out he had been carrying snacks on his back the whole time he gave us a dirty look but other than that the packs worked great. We really liked that the packs are removable from the harness. I am still trying to figure out how to attach the two pack harnesses together as when we typically walk the boys their harnesses area attached to each other at on the sides. That totally changed the dynamics of our walks as they kept each other in line and on track. Not sure yet how I am going to tie these together but I am sure I can figure it out.

Excelente material, le caben bastantes cosas, ajusta muy bien a mi amiguito le encantó, tardo unas horas en acostumbrarse, pero todo muy bien. La recomiendo

Relación precio-calidad correcta. La petaca es ideal para llevar cosas como alimento, platos o juguetes pequeños en las salidas tanto a parques como al campo. Solo hay que ajustarla de manera correcta al cuerpo del perro y cuidar de guardar el mismo peso de cada lado para evitar el desequilibrio de la petaca.

Brilliant little backpack for my 16 month old collie. Gives him a bit of extra work to do when out walking. Large pockets, big enough for a 500ml bottle of water on each side with two extra little pockets as well. Overall pleased that I bought it.

This just arrived today, we've been on a short walk and my dogs tail didn't stop wagging the entire time, she loves it. I ordered it based on the measurements listed on here, it just to say tightens up enough to fit her so maybe would have been better to get a smaller one but like I said the dog loves it.

My cocker spaniel works so well with this that I purchased a second one
