Himal Outdoors Dog Backpack & Saddle Bag, Tactical Hiking Backpack for Large Dogs with Side Pockets & Adjustable Strap

I have a 48-lb mixed breed with a wide-ish chest, so I was hoping this would fit, and it just makes it when the belly straps are at the tightest they'll go. The front strap fits well and the adjustability of the design is excellent. It's easy to put on and my dog doesn't mind wearing the pack at all (it's worth noting that she generally doesn't mind wearing things, which isn't the case for all dogs!). The pack stayed in place well on a long walk even though it wasn't tight. I didn't put much in it for our first adventure and we were mostly on flat ground, but it seems very sturdy and could hold a good amount more if the dog doesn't mind. I plan to use it primarily to carry bottles of water and her collapsible bowl, though I'm hesitant to put it on her in the summer heat since I don't want it to make her too hot. The pack seems well-made, good fabric and hardware that should last. Very happy!

I ordered the large for my 80 pound Lab/Husky and the fit is just right. The fit can be adjusted at the neck and belly to make it larger or smaller, but it was just right for us right out of the package. It attaches both by Velcro and buckle at the neck and belly. It's a little difficult to get ON my dog, he has a severe case of the "just absolutely cannot sit stills", so it takes several minutes for us to get it on him, but once it's on it's super helpful. The pockets on both sides are spacious, we walk at night so I can make him hold the flashlight, my phone, some poop bags, some treats, a collapsible water bowl, and there's still plenty of room for more stuff. It seems like it's made well, we have only used it a few times as it's getting to be very hot outside so I don't want to make him exert more energy and be hotter, but it still looks brand new all over. We'll use it a lot more in the winter. I like it, I do recommend it!

Fits my dog. Great storage space. Get what you pay for so it feels cheaper. Easy to use however. Dog doesn’t seem to mind it!

This is a reasonably priced backpack that fits well and seems to be fairly sturdy. I bought it for my therapy dog, Honey, to wear on Halloween so she could help serve candy bars to trick-or-treaters. She also wore it to school when the kids were doing a food drive; I loaded it up with lightweight packets of nonperishables and let my sixth-graders unload it into our donation box, which increased participation and made Honey feel important.

Easy to put on my Rottweiler and he seems comfortable with it. We use it on adventures, he carries the treasure i find!! Mostly pretty rocks but the durability of the material makes it perfect

High quality backpack. Love the handle for those moments you need to gain control quickly (deer or squirrel sighting) or in event u need to carry pack urself for a while. Very nice drain holes on saddle bags in case u have a water loving pooch. Fit my 85lb Rottweiler comfortable with room to grow. Easy grab pouches are convenient and zippered safe storage is great. My dog Carry’s our waters, Bible, leashes and phone for hike. The bag seems to put her in “working” mindset and helps me stay hands free. Easy on and off which is great for unsaddling your pooch for breaks. High quality and seems like it will last. Satisfied with cost and quality.

If you measure your dog accurately, this backpack fits perfectly. I got one for my Akita and it fit her perfectly. She was recovering from surgery and I put water bottles in each side so she would be forced to use her injured leg. It worked perfectly and she looked very happy wearing it. Every time she heard me get the backpack out, she would hurry over and willingly put it on. When she recovered, I still put water bottles and her collapsible bottles into the backpack so we could take a break to get a drink when we hiked.

I got this for my dog because I was running her a lot and wanted her to carry her own poop bags. Ended up also adding some wipes, bagged snacks etc, so it does work and I will list the pros of this harness. Pros: 2 zipper pockets with drain hole. These are the bread and butter of this harness and used it all the time. Fit of the harness. With a combined Velcro and snap buckle on both straps, it fit quite snuggly and even with my 50lb husky trying to shake it off, it held quite well. It does decent with lopsided loads. I put a 12 oz drink in one side on an 8 mile run and it did decently but I did adjust it on her back with the handle a few times. The cons. Outside open pockets are useless. The dog will shake and whatever is in them will go flying out. Ended up using them for full poop bags with it velcroed at the tightest setting but even then I could pull the poop bag out easily and had to go run back and pick up a bag that she flung out with her shaking. So again. Open pockets on this harness is useless. Poor stitching on the open pockets. Used it a little over a month running 5 times a week and already had the above mention useless open side pockets’ stitching coming undone. So I although I did get quite some good use out of it, I’ll be looking for something else without open pockets and with a little higher quality stitching. 3/5
