Mountainsmith Dog Trippin' Small Kit

My son and I took Tucker (a 40# Boykin Spaniel) on his maiden voyage with this pack. It fit him well. Smaller dogs might have some trouble. It didn't take him long to get used to it. Soon he was off the leash and bushwhacking with us. However, somehow he ripped out of the pack (possibly by snagging it) so we had to do a field repair and hike him the rest of the way on a leash. Not quite as much fun for Tucker, but he still enjoyed it. We have plenty of potable water along our trail so we had tucker carry dry foods in water bottles. We found the pack holds four 34oz water bottles or or six 16ox bottles. He took the pack for a swim at his favorite pond and had us giggling quite a bit. The field repair aside, Tucker will now be carrying his "own weight". Love the pack, especially at the price. We don't pack in the food and water bowel, but these handy storage devices around the home. They are quite nice perks in their own right and sold separately by other brands.

Our Small/Med 40# dog loves it. Thought that I might should get a Medium but the Small fits her well with much room for growth. It seems comfy for her and she Loves to wear it. The stuff is great, the blanket fits perfectly in her Med crate and the leash is handy too.

Fits our Red Heeler nicely with room to grow. She doesn't really like it, but may get used to it. The bowls alone are worth the money at the special discount price.

I hike and rock climb and need a tough pack for my 35-40 lb mutt. This was a great deal and seems like the fabric and construction will hold up over time, but the sizing is a little tough. She fell within the recommended measurements, but I am having difficulty getting the pack snug enough. Also, the sleeping pad and leash it comes with seem aweful small/short. She will probably still lay on the rope bag liek she always does...

Overall a very good product. I would not recommend using on a dog smaller that 35 lbs. The bowls came in handy on a recent hiking trip to NM.
