Mountainsmith Dog Pack - Medium

Very stable and weight is well distributed. 80 pound dog carried food for 4 days with no problem. Only Con: chaff strip on straps does not stay in one place.

We just got it, our plan is to use it when we go hiking or backpacking so Murphy our husky/samoyed mix can come along with us. We've started using it on walks so 1.) he feels like he has a purpose 2.) get him used to it. A little more adjustment and Murphy will be set to go on all types of adventures. The only thing I had to do research on for this pack was the size, he's probably 60-75 pounds, pretty fit and he wears a medium.

Bear loves her new pack. The day she got it, she curled up and slept in it. We'll be using it for long-term backpacking trips starting this spring.

Good product for the cost. Buckles could use improvement-they pop open easy or simply when the dog bumps something.

This is a really well made dog pack and fits my young Alaskan Malamute very well. I wanted to buy one that had a chest strap to prevent the pack from sliding backwards on her back, so I could make sure the weight she's carrying is more towards the front of her body, over her shoulders and front legs, rather than putting pressure on her back. The only down side about this pack is that the back buckle sometimes comes undone as she walks/runs, and after a long walk I typically have to re-adjust the front chest strap as well to keep the pack from sliding backwards on her back too far. But otherwise it's a great pack--made of durable canvas, with very nice sized pockets on both sides as well as an external pocket for doggie bags.
