You come home after work, exhausted. All you want to do is change out of your dirty, wrinkled clothes, plop down on the couch for one second before you have to feed the kids and walk the dog.

Two feet away there's a yellow stain on the carpet, and the kitchen is absolutely destroyed! Trash can's upended, bags tore through, last night's greasy chicken dinner all over the ground. Your entire evening is ruined. Now you'll spend the rest of the day picking up the trash, mopping the floor, scrubbing that sour pee off the carpet, getting cranky at your kids when they ask for help with their homework.

Not a great pack
I bought this bag to do some backpacking and general outdoor hiking with my 70lb boxer lab mix. We have been on 4 hikes locally here in San Diego with the pack. For starters, when I opened it the belly strap was way to long even at its shortest length. It hangs off him several inches and is in no way secure. To be fair, my dog does have more of a boxer body which means he has a very deep chest and a very skinny belly area. So the chest strap works properly, however because the belly strap is so loose the bag tends to lean to one side or the other with any load in the pack. This in and of itself is not why I'm giving it two stars since the strap can be shortened if you have any sewing skills, which my wife does. The main reason it gets two stars is the zippers are very loose meaning they open very easy spilling the contents out on the trail. My wife had an unfortunate incident the other day as she was walking our dog around our local lake trail. The zipper came open and her car keys that were in the pack fell out. Again, because the belly strap is not secure the pack tends to shift to one side or the other so that probably caused part of the zipper problem. Anyway she lost her keys on the trail and could not find them at the time. Luckily, we retraced her footsteps and found her keys under a bush later that day. In closing, I will be shopping for a different bag as this one will not suit my needs as far as quality and versatility needed for any moderate to heavy hiking or backpacking trips.Update: February 10, 2016We have now had the pack for around 2-3 weeks. Today while hiking, the strap the goes around my dog's neck broke where it is sewn into the pack. Definitely going to try a different one.

He didn't like it at first
I purchased this for my 8 month old black lab. He didn't like it at first, but after one use he now doesn't seem to mind it. I love all of the pockets and space, and to have some help carrying items when we go for hikes! The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because the back strap was way too large, even on the smallest setting. It almost touched the floor on my 60 lb dog. I am thinking I may have gotten a defective product, but I just cut the strap and sewed the clasp back on to make it smaller and now it works fine. I never tried contacting the company as I am good with a needle and thread, but this maybe is something to consider before making this purchase.

Good Backpack
My Lab has put on a lot of weight which is why I bought this backpack for her to carry water and bags on longer walks. I thought I might have problems with her wearing it but she didn’t struggle and was easygoing about having it on. The backpack is well made with large zippered pocket and a smaller pocket with a velcro strap on each side and the chest straps are long enough but the neck strap is tight because of her being overweight. Although, this isn’t problem since I can add an extension to lengthen the neck strap until she loses more weight. Just a tip, make sure to also measure your dog’s neck before ordering. I had measured her chest but didn’t think to measure her neck.

My dog hates it
Maybe this would be better for dogs who are used to wearing things like this, but no matter how much coercing I do my dog hates this thing. I actually resorted to putting it on her as a distraction from running around since all she does when wearing it is try to take it off. Actually I took her to the park once and stupidly attached her leash to one of the loops instead of her collar, the loop snapped like it was nothing and she took off running up to some old lady and nearly gave her a heart attack. Thank god all she did was get close to her.

AWESOME PRODUCT, LOVE IT! Fast shipping too!
Love, love, love this product. Perfect fit for seven month ridgeback. The ONLY thing I wish it had is a small slit on top center fabric so we could have her walking harness under. We will be using this as an added weight application when walking to tire her out. Since she is so young she still needs heavy duty harness under backpack. May be able to have seamstress friend do that for us. Otherwise PERFECT! Also may try gentle leader with her. Hreat product for big dogs.

BROKE BEFORE I EVEN GOT THE DOG OUTSIDE WITH IT
The harness fit nicel but the neck strap was too tight and the anchor thing keeping the neck strap to the rest of the harness just came right off not 20 minutes after putting it on my dog. We didn't even get a chance to try it with some stuff in the pockets. Don't buy this harness, not worth it. They sell doggy backpacks at petco for about 40$. I got what I paid for. A cheap, useless, costume.

Broke after one use
I had really high hopes for this pack!It looks really good and fit my german shepherd really well, but the front chest buckle broke off, then frayed after one use. see pics.Both my dog and I are very disappointed.We received our refund very quickly but are still looking for a dog pack that will hold up for longer then a 2 hour hike.

Decent product - Too big for my dog
My dog is 45 pounds and no matter how much I tightened it, I was still very loose.If you have a large-chested dog, I'm sure that would work great.Additionally, my dog was very difficult to get to stand still, as this requires a few buckles around the chest and one around the head - so if you have a hyper dog - getting it on may be a struggle.
