OllyDog Dog Pack - Small

I ordered this backpack in blue along with the Mountainsmith backpack. I was not sure about the Ollydog one from the picture on the website, but the price was good and I liked that it was a lighter color. I worry about her overheating because she her fur is black. When I recieved them, I liked them both, but the Ollydog pack was much more attractive than I expected it to be. The bags are small, but they are perfect for my 45lb Border Collie mix. I have not used the D-Ring for her leash, so I can't attest to the durability of it. I try to weight the pack evenly, but I don't have it strapped super tight. It seems to stay in place fairly well. She was afraid of it at first, but I made positive associations for her with treats and fun walks and now she loves it. She eagerly runs over and sits in front of me when she sees me pick it up now. She seems to wear it with pride!

This pack works great, although the size "small" is somewhat misleading because it does fit what I consider a big dog. My dog is about 42 pounds with a big barrel chest and it fits him perfectly. It stays on well, generally, until he shakes or runs into something with it.

Works as described

I had her straped in ready to go, I turned around to get my gear out of the truck. Then she bit right through the straps. Never got a chance to use it.

I brought this pack to add alittle more work out for my hound/border collie mix. He is 35 lbs (with a somewhat narrow frame) and over all I think the pack fits him well. I use a no pull harness that the leash attaches at his chest and the pack isn't in the way at all. Took him only one walk to get use to this pack. I did find that I had to tighten down the stomach strap almost all the way. With that being the case I wouldn't recommend this for a dog smaller than mine.
