Review on 🐾 Mountainsmith Dog Backpack by Sara Terry

I have a 47lb Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix (obviously he has loads of energy) and I ordered SMALL for this that fits perfectly. I think the environment would be too big. I'll try to post a photo as soon as possible. The quality of the bag is great! Doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. If it is broken/defective I will update this review. Let's assume it works well for now! This was not an instant fix for my dog's cravings or other bad habits (I rescued him from a shelter so he had a lot of bad habits). It definitely HELPED A LOT, but not with the bag, he suddenly became the perfect dog. The bag does everything I want it to do - tire him out quicker, give him work to do (carry his own water, poop bags, etc.) and do it while staying in place and not seeming to bother him at all. There is room on each side for a regular plastic water bottle and a few other things (usually just a water bowl for me). The mesh pocket is very easy to access and I use it for food bags, treats and my phone when I don't have a pocket myself (although I don't really recommend it. My dog will sometimes rub the pocket against just about anything so I do myself sometimes Worried he's going to smack my phone on something too hard, but so far it hasn't happened). I agree with some of the other reviews that a plastic leash ring is not the best choice - large dogs can break this if they pull hard enough. It hasn't happened to me yet (and my dog pulls if something catches my eye) but wouldn't be surprised if it ever did. Otherwise, I am very satisfied. It serves its purpose, appears to be very well made and is incredibly easy to adjust to my dog's body.
