Dog Saddle Backpack

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.

Seems comfortable for our labradoodle. She was able to carry her own food, extra water bottles, poop bags, collapsible bowl, and more. Pockets have more than enough room. Adjusts easily. The grab handle works great. Only drawback is that is she pulls hard enough backwards it will slip over her shoulders and come off. We were careful to avoid that.

I decided on Friday to go hiking Saturday morning. The pack I had for her was way too small. So I ordered this one Friday evening and it was on my doorstep by 8 am! My Rottie is 110lbs, I ordered the large. The fit was great. She has a 36” chest, there was plenty of room for adjustment. It has Velcro and clasp straps. Easy to adjust. Plenty of room for all her things, water bottle, food, collapsable bowls, poop bags, all the things! She was eager to wear it and she didn’t seem to even notice she had it on. I didn’t use the no pull hook. I did have to tighten the straps once during the 5 mile hike, but other than that it worked great.

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 ;)

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)

Awesome. Stay on an active dog- even when he rolled around in grass. He seemed comfortable and happy. The sizing guide is good too. Size M is good for Collie dogs and dogs that size. You wouldn't want to go any larger.

Buen accesorio. Amplió.

This bag is amazing and I can't sing its praises high enough. its good quality, fits the dog perfectly and easily adjustable and the dog doesn't even notice a difference ! great for hiking and has no problem being pulled on rolled on and dipped in water (not waterproof though) A must buy for any hiking dogs or if you want your dog to carry there own food and water on there trips, added a few photos of my dog so you can see how it looks on a larger size dog (German shepherd / husky)
