| I find front carriers uncomfortable and wanted something discreet but functional, especially for hiking. I have a 6lb Chihuahua who loves this backpack and fits perfectly into it (the small size). It is comfortable, has extra pockets for keys/phone/wallet/treats, and is well made. I love that I can keep him contained by zipping closed the top or give him a "convertible" ride. The only improvement I would make would be to include a pocket to carry a water bottle for the dogs. |

We have been using this backpack for our chihuahua for almost a year now; it is hands down THE BEST carrier for a small dog. First, even though our little guy only weight 4.5 pounds, carrying him in a shoulder bag still made my shoulder ache after just a couple of stores. With this, you can carry your friend around all day without hurting your back or shoulders. The straps are also padded, as is the back, with a little extra in the lumbar section, all just like a well-designed regular backpack.
We have also been disappointed in the past with how much space for doggie "supplies" there is in normal carriers, but this one has THREE good-sized pockets that hold everything we need and then some. I can carry a small metal bowl (or 2 foldable ones), food, treats, poo bags, harness, leash, doggie diapers, and a sweater or two with no problem.
Finally, the entire pet enclosure is made of strong mesh (don't think camping tent material, I don't know what this stuff is, but is isn't what you would normally think of as "mesh"). It is very strong; even without a recent nail trim, his scratching can't damage this fabric!
We originally got this for hiking, but liked it so much better than any of our other carriers (even the really expensive designer ones!) that we now use this for every outing. Any time we start putting our shoes on and heading for the door, Chico runs over to his backpack and climbs in. "I'm ready...let's go!"
Best money I've every spent on a dog carrier, and the price its listing at now, a bargain (I think I paid $59.95 last year)!

| My son and I have Chihuahuas. We love these backpacks. His dog uses it exclusively as his only carrier (must be a guy thing). I have other bags and use mine when I bike or hike or go somewhere like a craft show where I want my hands free. Very comfortable for both the human to carrry, and the dog to travel in. Ours just curl up and go to sleep. We've taken them in golf carts (the bag sits on the floor or in the little rack behind the seat) and into restaurants. (No one notices you have a dog...they just think it's a backpack). Small dogs can't hike as far as big dogs, since they take more steps per mile, so this is a great thing when they have gone as far as they want...you can comfortably just put them in the bag and let them rest. Nice design, with the mesh sides for ventilation. I really like being able to zip them in, or open the top. My only modification was lengthening the inside harness clip...it is a little short if they want to lay down. I always use the clip for safety if I have the top open. My dog jumped out once when seeing another dog while biking and she hung suspended until I got stopped and put her back in and zipped her in! (It was her first time biking...she doesn't do that anymore)! The harness strap is very secure and saved her life, I'm sure!!! I usually just keep it zipped up for safety when we bike, though! I love this bag. Would rate it A+++ |

| We recently went on a trip to Zion National Park and to the Grand Canyon. We have 3 little dogs and one doesn't like to walk for very long so we purchased this for him. It worked out great. We got alot of comments about how cute he looked riding around in the backpack. He weighs 7 lbs and it was a good size for him. It was comfortable to wear too. We would definitely recommend it. |
Love the pet backpack!!

| I love the pet backpack and my dog loves it too. I have a longhair chihuahua and he climbs into it even when we are not going anywhere. It is easy to use and is great for backpacking him or in the car or even in a stroller since he attaches to the backpack I dont have to worry about him getting out. Thanks... Pam |
