Review on Ultimate Adventure Pack For Medium & Large Dogs: OneTigris Dog Backpack For Hiking, Camping & Travel (Black) by Thomas Drew

I bought this pack years ago for my 130 lb mastiff. At the time, this was the only pack I could find that would fit her measurements. It’s been through rain, snow, heat, and is now on it’s 2nd dog. That’s right, this pack outlasted my mastiff, and is now being used by our very chonky 100 lb German shepherd/bulldog mix.Although there was nothing wrong with this pack, at some point I decided we should upgrade to a pack with larger panniers and a more weatherproof fabric. The search only left me frustrated and thankful for the pack we have. I now realize how lucky we were to find this wonderful pack, and at such a bargain price.Yes, I wish the bags were larger. As is, my dog can carry 2 liters of water, 4 days of food, treats, poo bags, hand sanitizer and his food & water bowls. On day trips we sometimes skip the human pack and make the dog carry our ten essentials plus lunch for two. This pack will not fit a dog sleeping bag, unless we tie it to the top. My exhaustive search of dog backpacks has not found a better alternative with larger bags or tie downs.This pack adjusts to fit a very, very large dog, and unlike other packs, the saddle bags hang completely off to the sides, even on a very barrel-chested animal. The canvas material is so durable I think it may outlast this dog as well and end up being used by a third animal. The downside of canvas is it is a little funky when wet, and it does not dry quickly. We live in the Pacific Northwest where moisture is a part of our lives 3 seasons of the year. Not surprisingly, the pack retains some wet dog smell. Luckily though, it holds up well to washing. Since our dog also smells like wet dog when he crawls into our tent after hiking through rain or snow, I have made my peace with it.I can’t remember how many years ago we bought this dog backpack but in that amount of time I’ve gone through 2 daypacks myself and my son grew from a little kid to a man. All the zippers and connectors are still in excellent condition.2022 Update: According to Best Buy, I bought this pack in September 2018. It is now March 2022. The tabs that attach the neck strap to the pack have finally given out. I plan to repair and keep using it. Seriously rugged. Buy it.
