EzyDog Summit Backpack Dog Trail Pack, Extra Large, Black/Charcoal


Really impressed
This pack is well made, has lots of areas to adjust and is better than I expected. The zippers are great and there are 3 on each bag for easy access and convenience. Love the handle on top and the leash holder. They thought of everything. It's nice looking and ergonomic - I mean not like a bulky baggy donkey pack like so many dog backpacks. I didn't want something too big and bulky and this fits the bill. Nice chest pad. I may add another strap to the underbelly though as I'm wondering if it will do a little shifting side to side (easy to do with needle and thread or fabric glue - straps and the clips are super cheap at Joanns). Haven't tried it yet outside of walking around in yard. My dog adjusted fast, but he's used to a halter when we hike. He's an Old English Sheepdog, very lanky, and tall, about 100 lbs., chest 32.5, and a large was generous. I usually can't find his size at all (he's too big). But I tightened the straps to their lowest which is nice, because when his...
Great backpack for our 47 lb puppy
I did quite a bit of research of different packs. I was looking for quality, price and a pack that looked like was supported mostly by the dogs shoulders, not his back. I narrowed my choices down to 2 possibilities. This backpack and Cesar Milan's (which you can't purchase here, you have to go to his website).

I ended up purchasing this one. The main reasons were that this pack looked like it could hold more, it had more pockets and there were a bunch of positive reviews. The price was essentially the same between the two packs so that didn't count into the desision. You don't have the review resource on Cesar's website so I felt it was riskier purchasing his since I couldn't read any reviews. I did like how Cesar's pack had the back strap which is missing from this pack. His pack also includes a bag hole to pull doggy bags from - though I can imagine that a plastic bag sticking out would quickly get torn or ripped up if you're taking your dog hiking through...
Most Amazing Backpack!
This product is absolutely amazing! My dog, Traveller, wears this everyday when we go running together. He loves it! Actually if I even go near it he gets excited as he thinks we are headed out on some adventure. I can fit all my essentials in it such as cell phone, keys, water bottles (one for me and one for him), his water toy and anything else I need that day. It has lots of different compartments so you can really organize your stuff. It fits very comfortably over his head and sits well on his back. It doesn't seem to bother him at all and he stands very still while I put it on and adjust it. We run usually about 5 miles together and he does not feel sweaty underneath when we are done. I highly recommend this product if you have a large dog that you are considering taking on hikes/runs with. Let them carry the load for you! For information, my dog is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever weighing about 70 pounds and the medium fits very well. I do tie the loose straps underneath...
