Kurgo 00028 Wander Pack Dog Backpack

I love this back pack!!
I gave this only 4 stars for the simple reason, the sizing is a little off. I use it on a Staffie Bull Terrier (smallest of the pit bull breeds, 40lbs) and its a little large on her. But with that said, the bags stays in place while she walks 3 to 4 miles daily with 2-8oz bottles of water. She actually gets worn out, and if anyone owns any type of terrier breed you know these dogs go on forever. In addition, she loves to pull and comes from a long line of AKC registered award winning "weight pullers". Imagine how suprised I was to find NO MORE PULLING. She proudly walks right beside me with what seems like a purpose!

I love these bags, and this one has done the trick. I just ordered another one for my American Pit Bull Terrier, hopefully it will do wonders on her too :)
Finally, a solution!
My dog (a year and a half foxhound/labrador mix that I adopted a month ago) has developed severe separation anxiety, and according to Cesar Milan one of the solutions is to give him more exercise before I leave in the morning. Since a two hour walk before the hour of seven seemed a little excessive, I began looking for other answers to this dilemma.

The suggestion of a doggie backpack with filled water bottles or other weighted material (not too much, but enough to make the dog work harder) was presented to me. I loved the idea of giving my dog the workout he deserves without completely tiring myself out before a day at work to do it, and also the idea of him being able to carry his own water, food, toys, and treats on long hikes and camping trips once the summer months roll around. Therefore I began scouring Amazon for quality packs that weren't too overpriced. I was shocked to see some dog packs that cost more than the backpack I carried in college, but this one seemed to...
Not the best quality.
I bought this backpack to put on my dog when we go for long walks in the city. She has a lot of energy and I was hoping that adding a little weight would tire her out more than just walking alone.

I was a little disappointed in the size of the saddlebags - they barely fit two standard sized bottles of water. When I tried to zip each side, it was really tough and the zipper kind of bent. I haven't attempted to re-zip the bags after taking the water out; I'm afraid it'll break.

If you're looking for something that will merely hold treats or food, this could be for good use. If you want it to hold anything bigger, buy something else.
