Rei Adventure Dog Pack - Large

This wonderful pack, which is breathable, perfect size/capacity, and good looking, is rendered totally useless for long day hikes and overnight trips that require a dog to carry his own food by clips that will not hold tension. As one other reviewer said, the strap adjustment loosens and must be re-tightened every hour. So just imagine how a person would feel with pack straps that won't hold adjustment. Belle says "Grrrrrr."

I have a 1 1/2 year old black lab mix. He is 65 lbs and fits into a medium size pack. I first bought the large but it was too big. He was very hyper but every time we go for a walk now, I put the pack on him, and he is much more calm during his walk and through out the day. The zippers and pack material are very durable and the pack sits very comfortably on the dog. The nylon webbing is very breathable, keeping my dog cool, yet it is strong. Over all I am very pleased with this pack. The only exception is that everytime my dog uses it, I have to readjust the straps. They are loose in a matter of just an hour walk. I have to take the pack off to adjust it, because I am unable to do it while on the walk, but other than that, it's an all around great product.

I watch the dog whisperer and he recommended giving your dog a "job" to help calm it down. I used this for my crazy Golden Retriever and he instantly stopped pulling and walked at my side. All I need to put in there are keys and cell phone, but it can hold extra leashes, a light jacket, chuckers, tennis balls, and a water bottle or two. The only problem is you really have to work on equaling out the weight on both sides so that it doesn't shift and hang heavier on one side. Great for hikes and long walks, and very breathable. Highly recommended!

I love my new REI dog pack! My german shepherd, Laya, loves it too! I have been looking for one like this for a year, and this was exactly what I wanted! It's beautiful and durable. I was so satisfied I ordered another for my sisters shepherd today!
