apollo walkerPet Carrier Backpack for Large/Small Cats and Dogs, Puppies, Safety Features and Cushion Back Support for Travel, Hiking, Outdoor Use (Black)

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made!! This product is very nicely made and has lasted strong through some pretty extreme adventures. Each summer I cross country road trip solo with my two dogs and was very limited to what I could and couldn’t do because of them… sometimes I couldn’t even run inside a store to quickly use the bathroom because the car would be too hot to leave the dogs inside for even a few minutes. This backpack changed our lives! It not only allowed me to take them into places they normally wouldn’t be able to walk into, but it also allowed me to start taking them on more adventurous expeditions. They have gone into grocery stores, retail stores, movie theaters, restaurants, museums, and much more, inside of this backpack! They have also gone boating, UTV off roading, jet skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, and snowboarding all on my back inside of this backpack!! I included lots of photos to see how convenient it is.It’s important to note that although most of my photos do have two dogs inside of it, it is most comfortable for them (and you) and best when using it with only one dog. But it’s nice to see it can be done with two if need be! I only put both of them inside when I am traveling alone and need to bring them somewhere pets are not allowed (many National park trails and indoor venues do not allow pets so I put them both inside there for those situations). But they are pretty squished when they are both in there, with no room to sit or turn around or anything like that, so I try not to do it too often and for too long. Both dogs are about 13 pounds each. I included a photo of me holding them so you can have a size reference for how big they are (I am 5’6”).The backpack is the PERFECT size for one of the 13 pound dogs inside. It gives them plenty of space to stand/sit/turn around to the other side and even lay down when curled up into a ball. I absolutely love the multiple window zippers! When I am only carrying one dog I alternate how I carry them, depending on the venue.. sometimes I have all three windows unzipped so he can stick his head out either side or the back, sometimes I close the big back one and just keep the two smaller sides open just to poke his head out, and sometimes I zip all of them up so he is fully contained if it’s a place they really really aren’t supposed to be. When I have both of them in there they can really only stand in that one position with one head out the left, one out the right and I wouldn’t be able to fully zip it all it up while both of them are in it.I love this product sooo much that I bought a second one so I could have a friend carry one of my two dogs sometimes. After some hardcore beatings, as the first two are starting to wear and tear, I just came back to buy two more a year later!It’s also important to note that having both of the dogs in it at the same time is about 26 pounds (plus all the waters I carry in the side pockets), and over time that has caused the top of the right shoulder strap to start to rip off on both of the backpacks. (It’s only the right strap because that’s the side I always instinctively put on first so that bears more weight over time). However, I do not blame the product itself for the ripping.. I am knowingly and willingly putting way more weight inside of it then it’s made for so that’s bound to happen. But even then, I have still been using these backpacks for months with the strap barely hanging on by a few threads at this point, with both dogs inside of it, and it’s still holding on strong!! I am extremely impressed! Out of desperation on the road I even poorly stitched up one of the backpack straps with some thread and a needle (I have no idea how to sew but just weaved in and out as many times as I could to hold it together) and that has helped me prolong the life of this thing.So I have used this product with double the amount of intended weight, doing extreme sports with it, for one whole year now, and even though one strap is ripping from the extra weight it is still holding in tack a year later… so when using this product correctly with only one dog I imagine it will last a very very long time without any issues!! And even using it incorrectly with all the extra weight, I have never had any issues with any of the zippers which is huge!!I bought this product originally just for our road trips.. but I now use it almost daily even when not vacationing. One dog is a homebody, the other a momma’s boy, so day to day one of my dogs comes literally EVERYWHERE with me inside of this backpack!! It’s something I wish I had earlier in their lives. Highly recommend!!!

If you are looking for a sturdy, reliable and functional cat backpack - this is the choice for you. I ordered this because I have a large cat (20lbs) and the traditional hand carriers were unrealistic for me to use. This actually provides back support and is really well made and designed - plus, it's completely collapsible so you can easily store it when you're not using it. There is a lot of ventilation and it's very spacious - comfortable for your cat, especially when traveling. I now have 2 for each of my cats and have recommended this to all my friends who have cats. It probably can hold very small dogs. I highly recommend - great value for money, highly functional, and overall very comfortable for cat and owner.

Zippers and seams are smooth and thread free. Great all around support, my 20 lb dog does not crush the sides when he stands up. We attached this carrier to my walker seat and it has enabled me to do a longer walk when my dog get tired.A very well constructed unit!

Preface, I haven’t hiked with it vs a couple 1 mile walks in neighborhood (test with dog). Tried on back and in front. July 2025 will be a big test.This backpack is the larger one in the pics. The smaller one is Leke.Pro’s- Waist strap- Plenty of ventilation- Rain cover- Nice kennel size- Great way to bring your pet in a store vs leaving them in your air conditioned car.Con’s- Shoulder straps are just OK- No zip pockets- Clip for dog harness (to ensure dog doesn’t fall or jump out) is too long at shortest length (have a doxie) and is on one side vs in the middle of the backpack

Took it out and walked a farmer’s market with this 15 year old Pom-Chi on my back. Worked great. The hard cushioned bottom supported her whopping 10 lbs just fine. Plenty of compliments and questions on where we got it! So far, very pleased with this purchase!

Wish I had known about this before. WOW!!! I absolutely love this! I can take my baby safe with me in the car, to the office, anywhere I go she can be with me. Not only does she have plenty of space, but I feel safer with all the features it offers. I have a Toy Fox Terrier, less than 15lbs. I also love all the venting it has, especially in the summer months. Even though it says "frequently returned item"... I still took a chance and have no regrets!

I thought for some reason this might be heavy with my dog. Even though he's only 11lbs, but it's wasn't at all. I think my laptop equipment feels heavier than my dog. This backpack is well designed, my dog actually likes being in it, once he figured out he gets to go with me.
