Highlighted Reviews
"I was skeptical when I bought this, but it works perfectly for my nervous 6lbs young dog. When in use vertically, it can be a back pack. We use the straps to seatbelt her and open the side vents so she can see us on car rides. She’s comfortable and happy!"
"This item is not for me - it is too heavy duty. My dog is 7.5 lbs and I am 71 years old and not able to put this heavy duty pack on my back. As it is well made, it is not for me and I would like to return it - still in package"
