Review on Outward Hound Lightweight Dog Backpack: Ultimate Hiking Gear for Your Canine Companion by Peter Parks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Causes TERRIBLE armpit chafing

I used this backpack for my dog to carry his treats and water (about two standard sized water bottles but in refillable bottles) on long hikes. Not a crazy weight, especially compared to his 90lbs. After walking for only 2 hours I was shocked to find that this packet had rubbed my pup's "armpits" terribly. I was concerned that I had misplaced or misadjusted the backpack. After reading the instructions, making sure everything was put on correctly and trying the backpack again, it started annoying my dog again after only 20 minutes of wearing it. The backpack itself is functional and makes my dog super cool, but there is NEVER that I would EVER recommend this to a dog owner. Now I have a poor puppy with sore red armpits and I've run out of money I spent on this thing!

Pros
  • Best in niche
