Doggie backpacks

Basenji Talk
  • Hello all. I recently purchased a doggie back pack and can't seem to get it to fit. It looks kind of big (medium size) supposed to be good for dogs 18+lbs. Our B is 19-20lbs. Anyway the strands hang at the bottom..it just dosent' look like it fits. So I wanted to know if any oneelse has used the pack

  • We use a backpack for our B…which kind did you get?? Not sure what you mean by big?? It should not take up his whole body but should sit comfortably on the upper part of his back.

    The one we have there's 2 straps that go across his belly & a Y shape strap around his neck...it took us a little while to figure out how it fit. We actually had the neck strap around his bottom...it looked weird LOL :D :D :D :eek: We eventually figured it out. And YES I am a college grad LOL!!

    What, they didn't have a course in dog apparel at that college?! :eek: :eek: What kind of cut rate school did you attend?!?! :D :D :D :p

  • I got the outward hound back pack. Well it covers his whole body. O.k guess I should get the small. Well i also dodn't criss cross it but still maybe I should return it for a smaller size. It said that the small fit dogs up to 18lbs and champ is 20

  • I'll see if I can take a pic of my B in his backpack so you can see what it looks like on a B :)

    Alkite-ROFL!! Sorry I decided to audit that class :D :D :D

    Don't feel bad…I took a look at the gentle leed at the pet store and couldn't figure out how to put it on. Hehehehe! :o

  • Yeah and it's not like my B is helpful. He's looking at me like what now mommy first the coat and booties and now this…how are the boys at the park gonna take me seriously..lol

    Thanks Sinbaje. That's an impressive group of dogs you have. I'll keep your message for further reference. In researching basenjis, I come across a number of abbreviations. I'm the curious type and I just like knowing. :)

    I don't smell my B's feet either, however they think it is pretty amusing to stick them in my face in bed when I am sleeping!!!!!

    Thanks for the tip about the patio-doggie door - I'll have to look for one of those.

    My Basenji would never be able to do it. She loves to swim, but isn't that nice with other dogs. My Husky mix would totally love it though. :) We'd have to use a crane to get him back out. I have a "doggy swim day" almost everyday. The shelter I work with built a lake out back, and on the hot days we let all the dogs go play in it.

    @WBL: BDawg post in another link about great winter coats from Montana Dog Wear: http://www.montanadogware.com/photos.html They are nice, soft and warm, the only downside (IMO) is they don't cover the chest These were real nice. I saw one B was from Columbus. Where are they hiding?????
