The backpack straps are what sold me on this one. My dachshund gets tired on longer outings, and carrying him on both shoulders is so much easier than using a regular shoulder bag.
Finally found a carrier that actually fits my dachshund's long body. He can lie down without looking cramped, and the base feels much more supportive than the soft bags we've tried before.
Millie usually gets restless as soon as the car starts moving, but she settled down quickly in this seat. The enclosed sides seem to make her feel much more secure.
Chip usually gets restless when I carry him, but he feels much more settled in this backpack. His body stays supported and his legs aren't cramped inside.
Miso gets overwhelmed by everything outside, so clear carriers have never worked for her. I love that she can tuck herself away in this one when she gets nervous.
Benny tends to pull when he gets excited, and I really like how this harness keeps the pressure off his throat. He seems much more comfortable on walks now.
Bowie doesn't like having his legs tucked inside a bag. The four-leg-out design lets him stay in a more natural position, and he seems much less anxious.
Remy pulls whenever he gets excited, so I was worried about using a collar. This one tightens just enough without choking him, and I feel much more comfortable walking him now.
Pippa always wants to be close to me when we're somewhere new. She settles into this carrier really well and seems much calmer being right against my chest.
Clover usually freezes as soon as I put a harness on her, but she actually walks normally in this one. It's incredibly light and doesn't seem to bother her at all.
Finnley is very active, and I noticed right away that his shoulders move much more freely in this harness. Nothing seems to get in the way of his stride.
Roscoe loves having more room to sniff around at the park, but I can shorten the leash when we're near traffic. It's really convenient having both options in one leash.
Beans gets nervous when we travel, but she settled down surprisingly quickly in this backpack. I think having enough space to stretch out really helps.
I hide a few treats inside the pockets and my dog stays busy for ages. He loves sniffing around to find every last piece. Great enrichment toy for rainy days.
Hansel is a long little dachshund, and I really like how the base supports his whole body instead of letting him curl into a ball. He seems much more settled during trips.
I like that it can be used in different ways depending on the season. It's cozy during cooler months and still comfortable when the weather gets warmer.
