Perfect Fit! Love It!

I bought this for a 27 mile backpacking trip and my dog had never carried a pack before. He got used to it in a very short time and it was perfect. I didn’t have to tighten the straps excessively and it rode very well. He carried his own food, snacks and bowls. He also eventually carried my water sandals after our many water crossings! I read lots of reviews trying to choose the perfect pack and I am very happy with my purchase!!

Every Ounce Counts

Trying to lighten my pack by a few ounces led me to purchase my dog Marlin his own pack. I am so happy I did, and he now feels more like a part of the pack. ;)

Awesome Fit!

We got this pack for our Bernese Mountain dog who is on the small end. The large fits her perfect and it ample space for plenty of water, food and a few extras while we start prepping for backpacking. So far so good!

Nice Roomy Backpack For My 70-pound Dog

Now that I have had a chance to use this "K-9 pack" on the trail I want to mention some things I like and dislike about this useful backpack. My dog is a 70-pound shepherd mix who is rather enthusiastic both when trail-running and backpacking. Upon receiving the Mountainsmith K-9 Pack, it took some mental work (on my part) to figure out which adjustments helped to fit the pack to my dog. I really like the locks on some of the adjustment buckles which really clamped down the straps once I got the length right. It is not clear why these useful locks are only on some of the buckles. I really like the roominess of each pack section. I was able to fit a one-quart water bottle and a quart ziploc bag of food in each side thus creating a well-balanced load. While at first, my dog did not seem to understand that he was supposed to walk with the pack on, once he got the hang of it, he seemed to accept it which I took to mean it was comfortable for him. My dog likes to occasionally stop and roll in the tall grass which lead to an amusing problem when he became stuck with the full pack on so that his feet stuck up in the air and he was unable to figure out how to turn back over. One time, this lead to funny photos but another time in his effort to free himself, he was able to wiggle out of the backpack. Overall, I was happy with the construction and performance of this pack.

Really Nice Pack Design

Just bought this pack and really happy with it. The adjustment straps are well though out and allowed me to get a good fit for my pup. The added details, easily adjustable flip lock straps, quick click release that allows me to simply lift the pack off (no fishing legs through straps), little side pockets, and padding to cover the clips so they don't rub up against the pooch, all help make this a really nice pack. All that said, there are a couple details that could make this pack great. It would be nice if the pouch's had straps that could cinch the bags closer if they are not full. No water got inside the pack, but it definitely didn't shed water on the outside material. Looking forward to seeing this pack evolve and will check back in a few years to see how it has improved. I've tried a lot of packs with my dog and this is the best yet.

Worked Great!

My dog seemed to like wearing it. Sturdy construction. I had to be careful not to overload it as it could hold more than my 63 pound dog could carry.

Easy And Convenient!

I love the construction of this pack! Adjustments are easy on the fly. Fits my 70lb hound very well. Holds 2 40oz bottles, doggie bags, treats, and a couple of my personal items like keys and phone. Clippable for added function such as rope or travel bowls.

Mountainsmith K-9 Pack

This is a very nice and well thought out bag. My dog hasn't had a chance to use it yet. I am in the process of exchanging it for a different size. If your dog is in between sizes, I recommend ordering the next size up.

Mountainsmith K-9 Pack

Bought this a couple of weeks ago for my 65lb golden retriever. We’re hiking the Lost Coast Trail next week, so she’s been wearing it around town on hikes and long walks. Seems to hold up well and can hold a fair amount of food and water. Will update review after our trip. For reference: she is a lean 65lbs, purchased her a medium.

Great Product!

My red heeler, Hanzee, hikes with me all the time. Now he can carry his own food for overnight trips and even some extra water through dry sections of the trails! Perfect fit and stays put on him. Appears to be comfortable because he pays no mind to it.

Durable, Easy To Put On, Better Than Competitors

I spent a ton of time looking for a harness pack for my 50 lb Chow Chow Shepherd mix. He's pretty active even though he is 10 years old now. I looked at all the tactical packs and other packs. My biggest complaint with the other packs is when you add weight, if remotely uneven, the pack causes issues as you are on your hike or trip to the grocery. This pack is amazing, and I have not experienced this issue at all. The belly strap secures the pack in place as long as your weight is not too uneven (roughly 1 lb difference). It can hold roughly 8 water bottles (I have a medium pack).

Great K-9 Pack!

We used this dog backpack for a three day backpacking trip this summer. It was perfect. I used the size small for my 38lb mini Aussie. I was able to easily fit enough food for both of our dogs as well as their bowls and some treats. I like that the pockets are not very wide so it keeps the weight/load close to the dogs body and doesn’t droop down or bounce around. My dog splashed through a few streams and rolled in a puddle and everything stayed dry inside.

Love This Pack!

It took a couple of wearings for our pup to get used to the feel of the pack, but now he chooses the K-9 pack, instead of his harness, every time. He quickly learned how to slip his head in and out of the opening, so the hardest part is getting him to sit patiently, while I get him clipped in ('cause he knows what's coming!). Good fit, easily adjusted, stays in place, & ample pack size.

Awesome For Me And My Dog

I purchased this pack for my heeler after doing some research and am very happy I did.The pockets are spacious without being to big and floppy. It allows him to carry water,bed, and food and appears comfortable. I'm glad I chose the Mountainsmith K-9 pack!
