Outward Hound Dog Carrier Backpack

Outward Hound Dog Carrier Backpack

If you're an avid hiker and wish you could bring your small pup with you to experience the great outdoors, look no further than Outward Hound's PoochPouch. This adorably named dog carrier keeps your small-pawed pup mentally stimulated by the views while being kept safe in their carrier thanks to an interior clip that attaches to their collar.

Similarly, the breathable mesh sides ensure your dog will be kept cool on their adventures, even in the summer heat. Alternatively, if you're a dedicated runner that even exercises in the wind and rain (we wish we could say we're that dedicated towards exercise) the water-resistant nylon will keep your dog dry whilst providing exemplary durability.

Unfortunately, many disappointed owners claim that Outward Hound's PoochPouch doesn't arrive exactly as described. The majority of frustrated reviews revolve around the belt clip that customers have deemed to be poorly designed on account of its susceptibility to snapping off. This design flaw understandably frightens customers – after all, the safety of their beloved pet hangs in the balance.

However, given that the supportive shoulder straps and waist belt both secure and evenly distribute the weight of your dog, the belt clip becomes comparatively unimportant. These shoulder straps are thankfully padded to guarantee that you're just as comfortable carrying Outward Hound's PoochPouch as your dog will be held securely inside.

Another drawback to the PoochPouch is the unreliable measurements drawn up by manufacturers. Several buyers claim that even though they diligently measured their dogs' sizes before choosing between the "Small" and "Medium" carrier sizes, they had to stuff their dogs in without even being able to close over the draw string! Thankfully, the company do listen to their customers' frustrations and offer a full refund within thirty days of purchase.

Overall, Outward Hound's PoochPooch is the dream dog carrier in terms of comfort and storage space. However, be warned that you may have to battle with irregular sizing to provide the perfect size of carrier for your pooch.
