3.0 out of 5 stars not for long hikes, November 24, 2007

By	Robert Gordick "Rob" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

I would not use this pack for long backpacking trips. The pack does not use a y-yolk over the shoulders and does NOT place the bulk of the weight over the dogs shoulders. I do like the accessories (waterbowl, food bowl, thermal mat, and leash). However, I have to say I'm taking my Mountainsmith bag to a seamstress to convert the chest harness to a y-yolk and bring the bag more forward to put more weight over the front shoulders.

Dog owners with dogs who have long backs or a breed who have a tendency to get hip dysplasia later in life should NOT consider this backpack.

Mountainsmith should be ashamed for selling a product like this that increases the likelihood of causing lasting harm to dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Caesar Milan Way, July 30, 2007

By	A. Pollack "Jason's Mommy" (Heathrow, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this backpack(largebackpack)for our 110 lb. Rottie after reading Caesar's Way, by Caesar Milan. He states that a dog backpack is very useful in giving the dog meaningful work during walks and for instilling a sense of calm. This has worked like a charm for our dog. She is significantly calmer on walks and this makes our outing more pleasant for the whole family. The mountainsmith dogpack is very sturdy and easy to use. It's both worth the money and the extra minute it takes to put on before we start our walk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, January 4, 2007

By	Trixie "Trixie" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This backpack is a perfect fit for my Min Pin. He is overweight and the backpack adds resistance during his walk for more calorie burning. And I also love that the backpack seems to keep him more under control. When he has the backpack on, he doesn't jump around or run ahead - he seems to know that he has to focus on walking and carrying the extra weight, like he has a job to do. Love it!
