Kurgo Baxter Dog Backpack, Dog Saddlebag, Dog Pack, Adjustable Saddlebag for Hiking, Walking, Running, Camping, Black/Orange

Fit my English Settler perfectly. First time using it on a three day backpacking trip.

I have an 85 lb German Shepherd mix whose lanky frame is often at odds with the way typical harnesses fit. The Baxter backpack is extremely adjustable, and fits him perfectly. I also love the large pockets; they easily fit full size water bottles (I put one on each side to ensure load is balanced.) I also love the loops at the top. I hook a collapsable fabric water dish to one. The handle is sturdy, and allows me to control him even if he sees a squirrel or other dog. Overall, the backpack is fantastic for hiking, and I am very satisfied with the product. Because I know Kurgo has excellent customer service and they read these reviews, I'll go ahead and tack on a couple wishlist items: I would love a backpack with (1) breathable mesh top for hotter hiking weather, and (2) removable packs to allow the dog to go swimming without completely taking off the harness. But regardless of my pipe dreams, I really love the Baxter backpack, and would definitely buy it again.
