I will start by saying that this carrier is most certainly for smaller dogs. I purchased a size medium, and my dog is 12 pounds and she is very slender and tall. I would say that if your dog also is tall I would not recommend this carrier because it is wide and short. When my dog stands up a good part of her body sticks out of the top. She can fit in it much better when she laying down. My dog is very cuddly and enjoys being with me at all times. She loves it so far, but I have not had her in it for anytime longer than an hour.
It is made very well, and I like the design of the straps. There are 2 straps like a backpack would have, one strap that goes around your stomach.
This carrier was surprisingly sturdy. It has a flat bottom, and if the straps are tightened properly the carrier will not wobble or move too much. There is a hook inside the carrier that you can hook onto your dog's collar or harness to keep them from jumping out. There is a draw string at the top of the bag that can be tighten to secure your dog at the top. Without the draw strings being tightened there isn't anything other than the hook attached to your dogs collar stopping the dog from jumping out. There is not much cushion to the carrier, so I do not believe that the carrier is supposed to be used for long periods of time. If your dog is small enough there may be room to add a blanket or towel too add some comfort.
I really like the color of the blue carrier, it is much more pretty that the color blue that is in the picture. The carrier is blue and gray where in the picture it is black and gray. The little pockets are great for treats or poop bags.
Overall, I think this is a great little carrier that can be used for shorter amounts of time. It is a great price. My dog loves this carrier because she isn't "zipped in." It is very open, so she does not feel like she is being put in a crate. If you have a dog that LIKES being in close quarters with you and likes to be carried, I would recommend this. I think a carrier working out for your pet definitely depends on your pets personality.
So I would recommend this if: you have a small dog (around 10lbs or less and has shorter legs), if your dog likes to be carried and to be close to you, if you don't plan on using this for several hours at a time, and if you are okay with it having an open top (as in if you leaned over, your dog could jump or fall out of it).

One of the key features of this carrier is its ergonomic design. The carrier is structured to distribute your dog's weight evenly, reducing strain on your back and shoulders. This design makes it comfortable to carry your dog for extended periods, whether you're exploring the outdoors or navigating crowded spaces.
The medium size of the carrier is perfect for accommodating a range of small to medium-sized dogs. It provides ample space for your pet to sit comfortably while ensuring they are securely contained. The snug fit also offers a sense of security to your dog, making them feel safe and relaxed during travel.
The quality of materials used in the Outward Hound PupPak Dog Front Carrier is top-notch. The fabric is durable and able to withstand the rigors of outdoor use while being gentle on your pet's skin. The grey color not only looks stylish but also hides dirt and wear, keeping the carrier looking good as new.
Another significant advantage is the carrier's breathability. The mesh panels ensure adequate airflow, keeping your pet cool and comfortable, especially in warmer weather. This feature is crucial for preventing your dog from overheating and ensuring their well-being while they're in the carrier.
In conclusion, the Outward Hound PupPak Dog Front Carrier is a fantastic investment for pet owners who love to take their dogs along on their adventures. Its ergonomic design, appropriate sizing, durable materials, and breathability make it a practical, comfortable, and stylish choice for keeping your furry friend close and secure while on the go.
Pros:
Side vents! This was a requirement for me as I want to take her on hikes and be able to breathe in any heat.
Adjustable shoulder straps - these can be unclipped and crossed for an easier carry or clipped in the traditional arrangement.
Waist strap - not super strong but does help a bit and is well placed, even for my longer torso.
Front pocket - room for a few treats.
Comfortable to wear for dog and human.
Great price!
Cons:
No side pockets for water bottles or larger items (not a deal breaker)
Not structured enough to hold the dog even, but I prefer the softer arrangement as too much structure makes it awkward to carry.
The leash clip is a bit short, it would have been nice to have it a bit longer to make it easier for her to curl up on the bottom. However, it is otherwise a very sturdy clip that doesn't look like it would break if she jumped.
Some signs of poor construction, with strings hanging out, etc. that make me concerned for longevity.
Overall very happy with the bag and eager to get on the trail!
