Outward Hound Daypak Dog Backpack Hiking Gear For Dogs, Large, Green

 Love it! My dog can now carry her own water. The two pockets are very spacious, you can probably fit a gallon water altogether and a small bowl.

Tip:
Make sure you pull the straps tight. Even if it feels to tight, it's not, it's just right. Otherwise the backpack will move around.
Also make sure the contents are balanced. When you give your dog water, give it equally from both sides so it won't become lopsided.

The dogs like to do a job and feel like they're doing something for you. It is said that it focuses their energy and it's true. I think it also calms a hyper dog. My dog likes to jump up a little on people when they first meet and she never did it with the pack on. She was just a calm wonderful doggie and everyone loved her who came in contact with her.
Definitely recommend.

I got this on a pretty hefty sale, which is part of the reason I bought it. The construction is good and sizing seems spot on. My 47-50lb mix (looks like a lab but not fat lol) fits in it great. The pockets are big and zip. I won't put too much weight but a water bottle could certainly fit in the pouches-- one for him, one for me. My "girl pants" (eye roll) never have pockets so things like keys, phone, etc could also go in.

Our dog really enjoys wearing this backpack. It seems to fulfill his need of "being useful" or "having a job". He wears his backpack with pride. I would recommend doing some research about using a backpack with your dog, prior to use. For example, I learned that they should only carry 10-20% of their body weight and that you should gradually work your dog up to his or her limit. I haven't noticed any issues or complaints from my dog. I additionally like how the harness has three straps - one on the front of the chest, one around the widest point of the chest, and a third on the skinner, back part of the chest. We hike on pretty steep mountains and I always worry my dog will misstep. There is no way for him to slip out of this harness, making me feel much more comfortable.
The only thing to note is that it may take them some time to learn their new dimensions - he keeps hitting walls, etc. with the sides of the backpack because he forgets that it is wider than he is. Overall, I would highly recommend.

The last outward hound day pack we got lasted for 8 years of use and we used it almost daily. For our smaller animals we have a outward hound backpack to put them in( I use it for my cats and bunnies cuz they love going out!)still in great condition and have had it for 6 years. So I new the next pack we got had to be outward hound. And it did not disappoint. It came the right size and very durable looking with enough room to fit every thing me and my dog need for a long walk. My dog loves trails as well as swimming I tested it out and the pockets seem almost water proof which is an added bonus. All in all I am very excited about this new pack and can't wait to do more with it.

Once you figure out the clips it is great. I have not tried it for a day trip yet, but it fits great and the clips seem to hold well. My pitty is a bit over 70lbs and the XL is perfect. I almost missed the big pockets behind the little zipper ones. The little zipper ones can fit 2 bottles of water in them each. The big ones can fit more. I am impressed with this so far. I tugged it either way and it did not seem to slide around much even on her short smooth fur. I do not plan to tether a leash to it as I will continue to use her collar if I am in a situation where she needs me to control her.
