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

    I am sooo glad that you both had a successful day at the dog park. It's so important for dogs to be able to socialize well with other dogs. Well done!

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

    @TuckerVA: There is a Mexican Hairless in my neighborhood and he's got a -40F coat. It also has a knitted neck that comes up to the ears almost. Not sure what brand/type it is, but I can check if anyone is interested… It just doesn't get that cold here in Va, at least not in the 10 years I've been here. I think it rarely gets below the high teens here. I would be interested in that

    could be. it also took me a long time to figure out the harness. I'll try again, this time with my hubbies assistance. We want him safe. This weekend my B was doing that sound right before they puke (gave him some rawhide bones) and I carried him to the bathroom and put his head in the toilet thanks to someone else's experience on this forum-sorry forgot who)and my daughter was laughing at me, but hey he threw up in the toilet and hopefully will in the future. I love how human they can be at times….really just like children!

    @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?????
