This is the first backpack I've found that my miniature dachshund could sit in comfortably. Most carriers for them are shoulder bag style. This backpack allows her to sit up with a little support and has saved us multiple times when we hike farther than her little legs can take her.

So far I have loved the ease of this backpack and my pup loves it too! I have a golden doodle puppy and got this for introducing her to hikes while she is still growing. Currently she is about 20lbs, and will be getting bigger. I've had this bag since I got her and it has been a lifesaver during our trips. There is plenty of room in the main compartment for my pup, however the only thing I would change would be the zippers. The zipper pulls often come off of the zipper which makes it difficult to close the backpack. I mainly use the pack as a simple to and from for our hikes. If you're looking for a pack that can take a couple items for your pup and carry your pup if needed, this is a great option, however if you're looking to set out on an adventure and carry all that your pup would need for a day+ I'd look into getting something a little bigger.

Works well enough, but has some issues. The support rods just won't stay in place, so I'm always worried that they will poke our dog. It has been on 3 airplane trips and is already starting to fray a bit. Works well enough, but not something I would recommend.

Great pack for my furry friend.. and it's comfortable for me too.
