Review on Outward Hound Kyjen Excursion Dog Backpack: Superior Quality for Canine Adventures by Mike Schmidt

I bought one of these backpacks about a year ago and I love it. Just bought a replacement part. 1) Perfect fit for my 50 lb dog. 2) Looks great 3) Easy to put on with just a few clips under the bust. I then tried the new/updated model of this backpack and was very disappointed that it was more difficult to put on. You either have to put the dog's head through a small loop (negative association for my dog to avoid the pack) or spend extra time on the loop, which also irritates him. I will only use this pack for long trips. After realizing that the original package ("Excursion") was discontinued, I returned to this site to purchase another and a few stayed. Love it. recommend it Glad I have a backup - should last 10 years!
